Benefits of waking up in Brahmi Muhurta

• Protects our ayusha (life span)
• Due to the presence of sattvic (pure, peace, silence) qualities in nature at that time, we feel very calm, peaceful, less anxious, clear thinking, and helps to take the right decisions.
• Students can focus on their studies as the external and internal environment is calm and relaxing.
• Can get nourishment by studying spiritual books.
• Ideal time for prayers, meditation, and yoga.
• As the priority activities are completed early in the morning, we get a lot of time for all our other activities during the day.

Conclusion 

“Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise” holds good at all times when one follows his life routine by nature’s sunrise and sunset. As told by acharyas (spiritual teachers), we will maintain good health with a longer life span. What we have seen in our grandparents’ healthy habits and happy life, can also be experienced by all of us.
