There have been some very well researched study by Swami Parthasarathy to
identify a suitable time of the day when studies are to be conducted . This
knowledge has been passed down to us over centuries by the sages and rishis of
India .
Different times of the day are classified as Sattvik ,
Rajasik and Tamasik .
Sattva – Transactive
Rajas – Active
Tamas – Inactive
The time between 4am to 6am in a day is classified as Sattvik
time also known as Brahma Muhurta.This is the best time to brood , contemplate
and reflect. Sattva is the state of mind in equanimity, serenity, when a person
remains poised , mature , contemplative and objective, detached from worldly
involvement and excitement.
After the sattvik time is over, Rajas rises to the surface
while the other two remain dormant. Rajas predominates during the day from 6am
to 4pm.
And tamas is seen glaringly at night.Sensual indulgences and
other irresponsible heedless activities flourish at night time. Even a talented
drunkard prefers to have his drink after sundown and not early in the morning.
Gambling and other nefarious activities go late into the night .
Since education relates to one’s sattvik temperament it would
produce the best results if undertaken as early in the day as possible.
Individual reflection and assimilation must necessarily fit in between 4am and
6am. That cannot be relegated to any other time. The idea may sound
revolutionary but there is no other way to promote education. The solution
would be to implement the idea gradually in stages.
