HOLISTIC HEALTH AND BRAHMA MUHURTA: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

BRAHMA MUHURTA means the time of about two hours before the sunrise. This time is hailed as the best time to learn and realize subtler aspects of physiology, philosophy and spiritual growth.

If one tries to find out the secret underlying this; then one is tempted to speculate or conjecture that there are probably several changes in internal and external; physical, chemical and biological atmosphere at around this time, which probably catalyze spiritual blossoming of an individual.

Generally speaking; this is an obviously rejuvenating time indicated by the fact that the whole universe begins to wake up; at this time.

More specifically; the circadian rhythms have been studied in vast details by biologists and physiologists; and probably this period is associated with metabolic, hormonal and neuro-hormonal changes conducive to blossoming of mind!

Further subtle details and differences; in USHA, ARUNA, PPRATAH and SURYODAYA are a matter of interdisciplinary research, by astro and geo physiologists. The study of the electromagnetic and other radiations, ozone, oxygen, other chemicals, effects of other planets and stars and so on; on the various biological and psychological parameters could reveal a lot of new insights in the interrelationship of man and the universe!

It is a general observation (a detailed study, statistical survey and analysis is worthwhile); that the people who get up in BRAHMA MUHURTA in morning and get engaged in morning ablutions, prayers, penance, yajnas, pooja, bhajan, kirtan, yoga or any such activity; blossom from within; as evinced by the fact that they are immune to depression.
