🌺What is an Ayurvedic Clock?🌺

Ayurveda believes that there is an‘energy clock’ i.e. our levels of energy are in synch with time & there is an optimal time of day for different activities.

The concept of Ayurvedic Clock is similar to that of the biological clock or body clock.
It is linked to how our body and mind function relative to both the surrounding energy and the state of our bodily humors (doshas).

The closer our daily rhythms are aligned with the rhythm of nature, the closer we are to achieving mind-body balance and wellness.
If we go against natural cycle of nature,we experience imbalance & deterioration of our health.

How does Dosha Clock work?

In Ayurvedic Dosha Clock, the day is split into six 4-hour periods.Each period is related to a specific dosha & it is repeated twice in a 24 hour period.
Kapha time 6AM – 10AM / 6PM – 10PM
Pitta time 10AM – 2PM / 10PM – 2AM
Vata time 2AM – 6AM / 2PM – 6PM

The rising (dawn) and falling (dusk) of the sun are connected to Kapha.

The peak of the day (midday) and the peak of the night (midnight) are related to Pitta.
The transition between night and day and between dusk and dawn is related to Vata.

The activities you perform within these hours should be related to the respective dosha of that time.

By aligning your activities with the proper dosha you will be more efficient at whatever...
...you do because you will be working within your own nature.

Activities for Vata time

Vata dosha includes the elements of ether and air. This time is the best time to access the ether and spiritual connections.

Morning 2 AM – 6 AM
After 2 AM, our sleep gets lighter and our body starts to prepare itself for the elimination process.
Brahma muhurta, 96 minutes before sunrise, is the best time to wake up. Brahma means knowledge and this is the time to seek knowledge.
This is the auspicious and sacred time, the best time to meditate, visualize, and create.
It is also the ideal time to go out for a walk and do yoga.

Afternoon 2 PM – 6 PM

This is a good time for communicating, socializing, and sharing creativity.
Ayurvedic routine has been around for thousands of years and it has been passed down through the sciences of yoga and Ayurveda.
However, our modern lifestyle has made it difficult for us to comply with natural rhythms.
These rhythms are not rules invented by Ayurveda, they are the basic needs of our body and mind.
By understanding your dosha and how it functions, you can better understand how the energy around you affects your constitution and inner being.

🌺।।Context in the Mahābhārata।।🌺

After the great Kurukṣetra war, Bhīṣma Pitāmaha lay on a bed of arrows, awaiting his death. During this time, Yudhiṣṭhira, burdened with sorrow and doubt about his duties as king, approached Bhīṣma to seek divine wisdom on dharma (righteousness), mokṣa (liberation), and the path to peace.
Bhīṣma, full of devotion and divine knowledge, answered Yudhiṣṭhira’s many questions about dharma, yoga, karma, and devotion.

When Yudhiṣṭhira asked:

“By chanting or remembering whose name can man overcome all sorrows and attain peace and success?”

A Thread 🧵

In Hindu tradition, Kshetrapal literally means “Guardian of the Region” (Kshetra = region/area; Pal = protector). These divine beings are considered protectors of specific places — villages, temples, forests, mountains, or directions — ensuring safety, purity, and balance in that domain.Image
Here’s a detailed overview 👇

🌺।।Meaning and Role of Kshetrapala।।🌺

Kshetrapal Devtas are guardian deities assigned to protect a particular kshetra (area).

🌺।।Since Bhagwan Sri Krishna is the 9th Avatar in the 10 incarnations of Sri Vishnu, here are 9 interesting facts about our beloved Bhagwan Sri Krishna।।🌺

A Thread 🧵

1. Sri Krishna was dark and not blue in complexion

Sri Krishna’s colour has been described as blue primarily in many historical writings but it comes to be known that he was not actually blue. He had a darker complexion. He was also very good looking and a natural charmer. Many kathak dancers and writers call him Shyam meaning one of a darker complexion backing up the fact.Image
2. Sri Krishna had once advised people to worship Govardhan mountain

It was a usual day for the residents of Vrindavan. They were on their way to worship Dev Indra for the rain. Krishna stopped them midway and explained to them the importance of mother nature and the Govardhan mountain. He asked them to worship the mountain and nature instead of Indra Dev. This called for Indra’s rage over Vrindavan and led to the flooding of the entire town. Sri Krishna then picked up the mountain on his smallest finger and saved his fellow villagers. Yet another presentation of his divine self.
3. Draupadi & Krishna shared an unbreakable bond

Through the chapters of Mahabharata, it is very evident that Sri Krishna and Draupadi shared a very special bond. Their bond was one of its kind. Krishna addressed Draupadi as his Sakhi and Draupadi addressed Krishna as his Sakha. He was always there to guide her and be her biggest support system.
