The Radiance of Sandhyā: A Discourse on Evening Prayer and Practice
The sacred time of Sandhyā is a period for prayer and inner harmony. As day meets night, all creatures return to their rest and, in their own way, turn toward the divine. This is not a time for negative thoughts or conflict. One should awaken before sunrise in Brahmamuhūrta, acknowledging one's humanity with gratitude. Being human means choosing goodness, honoring parents, and remembering the divine. The earth is a moving globe, sustained by natural laws like gravity. Practice prāṇāyāma beginning with the left nostril for purification. This world is like a dream, yet one must live consciously within it, seeking liberation through truth.
"Therefore, in this Sandhyā time, one should not harbor negative thoughts, speak negatively, give bad thoughts to anyone, or fight."
"In this māyā, why are you in māyā? You got into the world, but this world is not anyway. It is a dream."
