In the quiet hours before dawn, when the world is still cloaked in darkness, ancient traditions and modern science converge on a profound phenomenon: the transition from night today. This period, known in Hindu philosophy as Brahma Muhurta, is revered as a time of heightened spiritual potential, where the mind is clearest and the body most receptive to positive energies. Spanning approximately 1 hour and 36 minutes before sunrise, ending 48 minutes prior, it is often calculated as roughly 3:30 to 5:30 AM, depending on geographical location and season. The term Brahman Muhurta translates to “the time of Brahman,” the creator in Hindu cosmology, symbolizing a phase of renewal and creation.

This article delves into the interplay between the first rays of the sun, the auspicious Brahma Muhurta, and their impacts on human physiology—specifically hormones, neurotransmitters, and dream patterns. Drawing from Vedic texts like the Ashtanga Hridaya and contemporary scientific research, we explore how this pre-dawn window aligns with circadian rhythms, influencing everything from mood regulation to cognitive function. In an era dominated by artificial light and disrupted sleep cycles, understanding these natural processes offers a pathway to enhanced well-being.

Ekadashi fasting, a biweekly practice aligned with lunar cycles, offers a unique model for studying chronobiology in healthy aging. This study develops a mathematical framework using impulsive differential equations to quantify its effects on aging biomarkers, including autophagy, mitochondrial quality, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and NAD⁺/NADH ratio. Simulations over 365 days reveal that 36-hour fasts every 14.8 days induce autophagy spikes, increase mitochondrial quality by ~22%, reduce ROS by ~18%, and elevate NAD⁺/NADH ratios by 1.4-fold, enhancing metabolic resilience.  In the tradition of Sri Amit Ray, there are 114 chakras in human body, Ekadashi fasting is associated with the Vaikuntha Chakras, which exist in the 11th dimensions of spirituality. 

These findings suggest Ekadashi fasting may delay aging and reduce disease risk, bridging traditional practices with modern gerontology. The model provides a foundation for empirical studies and personalized longevity strategies in chrononutrition.
