Daily Practice

🌅

Begin at Brahma Muhurta

The hours before sunrise are considered most auspicious for prayer, meditation and aarti.

🪔

Light a diya

Offering light symbolises dispelling darkness and ignorance. Face east or north while praying.

🧘

Sit with a still mind

A few minutes of japa or silent breath before darshan helps settle the mind into bhakti.

🙏

Offer with gratitude

Bhakti is not transactional. Offer flowers, water or simply a grateful heart.
