Time is an important criterion for observation of meditation and such

spiritual practices. Generally early morning hours, late night hours,

sunrise time and sunset time are good for such activities. My Guruji

Shree Premanandji always used to say that when a Bhogi sleeps, a yogi

wakes up. He uses to guide us to perform mantra japam during late

night hours after 12:30 AM. There has been a great significance and

some hidden importance behind such time constraints. During night

most of the people are asleep. The air is free of vibes and different

energies. It is clearer and hence it becomes easier to meditate.

There are lesser distractions during such hours. Shri. Premanandji

never use to sleep during night hours. We always use to found him

awake and in deep meditation during such hours.

 

According to Shastras positive energies roam our earth during early

morning hours. While there can be a big debate on the truth of this

statement, one can definitely feel and sense harmony, calm and

positive energy in the morning air. This generally vanishes as Sun

rises up. Sunrise time and sunset time have special significance as

well. According to " *Swarodaya " our sushmuna is awake during such

hours and both swaras dominate during that time. In normal conditions

only one nostril disposes a swara and the process is repeated with

alternative swara during each hour. But during sunrise and sunset

Sushmuna awakes, and it is strongly recommended that one should

perform some spiritual activity during such hours. It is the reason,

why elderly people still guide us not to sleep during early morning

hours and during sunset time. According to Swarodaya every work

(Except Dhyana or meditation) pursued during such hours, gets

destroyed as darkness gets destroyed when the Sun rises up. It is

believed that meditation is easier during such hours.

 

Besides these general implications, astrology also guides us to go

for only particular periods for Sadhnas and meditation. The period of

the fifth house lord, ketu and Sthira lagna is used for initiation

and sadhna. Vimshamsha chart can also be used for this purpose if the

time of birth is known. Moolas Nakshatras which are considered very

inauspicious can also be used for meditation and mantra Japam. Moola

signifies zero control, a rashi's beginning or ending with the sign

indicates a blank area. It is almost like a turn on the road. Empty

but powerful. One needs to channelize that energy to gain some peace.

 

Mediation requires that fifth house, Sun and Moon should be devoid of

any blemishes and a fixed or sthira sign should be rising in the

ascendant. The dasha lord should be finely placed and could have an

association with fourth, eighth or twelfth house lord. A person

performing the ritual should look for condition of Nakshatras and

Muhurta for initiation. His atmakarka should not be debilitated or

combust in transit and should be strong. This rule should be applied

to amatyakarka as well. Mantra should be denailed and should be

matched with his name to see whether it is beneficial or not. Jupiter

should be influencing the ascendant, the fifth house lord or the

twelfth house or its lord in transit. The placement of Ketu in

twelfth is also good provided it as some influence from some benefic

like Jupiter or Mercury. All these conditions should be applied

before performing some Sadhna.

 

A person with afflicted Fifth house or its lord and second house

should be very careful and should not recite mantras on his own.

Debilitated Jupiter, Rahu dasha should also be checked before

recitation of a mantra. Mantras can fructify when a fixed sign rising

in transit has its exaltation sign in D-9's ascendant. It can be

awakened when Mantra pad carries beautiful transits and when

Atmakarka is exalted in transits.
