Brahma Muhurta is time considered ideal for meditation, yoga and prayers. Brahma Muhurta time is from early morning – 120 minutes before sunrise. The popular belief is that this period is the most auspicious period for doing prayers etc as the atmosphere is calm and there is purity of mind, thought and action.
There is a legend that Goddess Saraswati wakes up during this period and blesses the devotees. The period is considered ideal for learning.
