Rising with the lark
Qn. What is the significance of early rising?
Ans. Early rising is greatly beneficial to an individual’s growth. The period approximately from 3 30 to 5 am is called ‘Brahma muhurta’ and is auspicious and conducive to study and learning. Religious texts tell us that the word ‘Brahma’ here refers to Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge. It is therefore a well-known tenet that students and Vedic scholars as well as spiritual seekers choose this period for learning, for doing Japa and atmavichara – introspection.
Not to be in bed after sunrise !
Concentration levels are at their best in the serene hours before daybreak, and in any case you are advised not to be in bed after sunrise.
