Brahmana 15 names of Muhurta of day and night have been given as Saṁjñānaṁ,
Vijñānaṁ, Prajñānaṁ, Jānad, Abhijānat, Saṁkalpamānaṁ, Prakalpamānam,
Upakalpamānam, Upakḷptaṁ, Kḷptam, Śreyo, Vasīya, Āyat, Saṁbhūtaṁ and

Muhurta is formed by ‘two Nadika (Ghatika)’ and a difference of 6 Muhurta
or 12 Ghatika is observed among a longest and the shortest day. Even Manu
and Chanakya has revealed the same meaning in their respective texts. Gradually
the names of the Muhurtas shuffled and in the period of Varahamihira only
the names of deities of 30 Muhurtas remains. It is specified in
Brihatsamhita that if we perform some work on divinity of particular
Nakshatra then success is assured. Ayurvedic literature firmly suggests

Disadvantages
of late awakening Smrti Ratnavali mentioned that the people who sleeps at
the time of Brahma Muhurta they loss their Punnya, they suffer ill health.
After six A.M. Kapha predominance is seen. So people who get up in Kapha
Kala tend to be dominated by Tamoguna throughout the day. Bowel movements
tend to be sluggish under the influence of Kapha. Mind and body activities
become sluggish owing to the influence of Kapha Dosha. After sunrise
people awake and the materialistic mental radiations are emitted through
their physical senses. The atmosphere is polluted. People will disturb each
other dragging themselves to materialistic discussions. Fetid smell in
mouth, constipation, indigestion, laziness, and many kinds of diseases
arises just because of getting late in a day.

can also pay the price by becoming more likely to succumb to various health
problems.

minutes) before sunrise. Different opinions are observed regarding this

Brahma Muhurta starts two Muhurta before sun rise and last for one Muhurta
period. for example if sunrise is at 6 A.M. then it starts 48+48=96 minutes

Brahma Muhurta And Its Utility For Healthy And Blissful Life In Current Era
- A Re-view changing within the range of 5.40 to 7 A.M. hence Brahma
Muhurta starting time ranges from 4.04 to 5.24 A.M. It is found that
Brahma Muhurta is very auspicious Muhurta for various good practices.

is made up of various layers. These layers are composed of Nitrogen,
Oxygen, and Argon as well as other various energy constituents. They
provide energy to the living beings. They transfer light from Sun to the
Earth as well as reflect back to some extent. The molecules in the layers
absorb energy and radiation. This radiation will heat the layers and the
layers goes up and up by the end of a day. When the Moon reflects its
cooling emissions, these layers will get cooled and comes down. At the time
of Brahma Muhurta, these layers will settle down to the maximum and
excellent energy level amplified. When we wake up at this time and proceeds
to rhythm with this energy, our inner energy gets associated with cosmos
energy. Hence Initiation of any vital effort on Brahma Muhurta becomes more
fruitful due to association of our energy with cosmos energy. Many problems
that human beings are suffering is simply because they have lost that
awareness as to how to be in synchronize with the many forces of cosmos
energy. Human life is product of cosmos energy. He is not an individual
existence. So, when he gets in synchronize, certain things will happen.
Hence Yoga is to bring that synchronize so that his energy rhythm goes with
the rhythm cosmos energy. If there is live seed and he awake at Brahma
Muhurtam and sit for whatever that practice is, it bears maximum fruit. In
present century, lifestyle is significantly changed which is creating lot
of instability in human energy. It is needed to synchronize the rhythm of
inner energy with rhythm of excellent cosmos energy during Brahma Muhurta
which is necessary for best immune energy. Quality immune energy is basic
requirement for physical, mental, spiritual and social health as well as
blissful life. Hence beginning of healthy lifestyle with awakening on
Brahma- Muhurta for good practices is needed in present era.
Brahma Muhurta is approximate 48 minutes time period, one hour
thirty-six minutes before sunrise. It is best time to synchronize our inner
energy to excellent cosmos energy. It is very auspicious Muhurta for
various good practices like Yoga, Pranayam, Dhyan, Atmagyana,
Parmatmagyana, Adhyana for ultimate achievement etc. These practices help
to synchronize with cosmos energy which provides best immune energy.
