Brahma Muhurat starts exactly two muhurats before sunrise. Hence, it begins 1 hour and 36 minutes before sunrise and ends 48 minutes before it. In Hindu tradition, this quiet time is considered the best moment for prayer, purity, divine consciousness, and fresh beginnings.

Why is Brahma Muhurat beneficial?

According to Hindu mythology, during the pre-dawn period, nascent oxygen is available in the atmosphere. This nascent oxygen easily combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin, and it is said to help boost immunity, increase energy levels, maintain blood pH balance, relieve pain, soreness, and cramps, and improve the absorption of minerals and vitamins.
