Rise before dawn. Offer your prayer and puja at a fixed hour preferably before sunrise, sitting in one and the same pose. Have a separate place and seat for worship. Purity of mind and body should be specially adhered to.

The importance of getting up at the time before sunrise for our daily duties has been long recognized. Indeed the last two hours of the night preceding the day-break or sunrise has been called Brahmi - Muhurta. It is literally the hour of Brahma, the creator of the universe. It is well known that all creative work starts with the dawn. Vedadhyayana, music and other learning of fundamental sciences are counselled about this hour. The day for the Pancaratra agama begins with the hour of abhigamana or moving about.
