Abstract

The primary objective of Ayurveda is ―swasthasya swasthya rakshanama‖ i, e. maintaing health in healthy individuals, for this purpose Ayurveda describes Dincharya or daily regimens which starts with walking up early that is called Brahma Muhurta Jagarana, which is regarded as the best time for knowledge acquisition. It is a time considered healthy and long to live by promoting moral behaviour and is regarded as the most auspicious time to inculcate this behaviour. This study aims to review the concept of Brahma Muhurta and its need for a blissful and healthy life in the current era. Our Maharishis observed this Muhurta as a time for engaging in noble practices and attaining higher states of consciousness, which enabled them to live long, healthy, and blissful lives. Brahma Muhurta falls as the secondto- last Muhurta (one hour thirty-six minutes) before sunrise which varies according to location and season. This helps optimise biological conditions for the growth of neurons and vital organs and enhances cognitive functions. In addition, it helps to improve the body's physiological functions, especially those related to hormonal shifts. To derive maximum benefits, one should engage in positive practices like Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Selfknowledge, Spiritual wisdom, and study in Brahma Muhurta. Getting up during Brahma Muhurta for good deeds leads to longevity and good health,
