What is Brahma Muhurta?

Brahma Muhurta is the sacred pre-dawn window traditionally reserved for meditation, yoga, and spiritual practice. The name means "the time of Brahma" or "the hour of the Creator." It begins roughly 1 hour 36 minutes before sunrise and lasts about 48 minutes — one muhurta in the traditional division of the day into thirty muhurtas of 48 minutes each.

New York is home to one of the largest Indian-American communities in the United States, concentrated in Queens, Jersey City, and Long Island, and many here keep the practice of rising in Brahma Muhurta for meditation and yoga — a tradition carried from India and adapted to life in New York.
