GETTING UP IN THE BRAMAMUHURTA  

A man must get up one and a half hour before Sun Rise. There are many disadvantages of not awaking in that time, described in the scriptures like

BRAAHME MUROORTE YAA NIDRAA SAA PUNYAKSHAYAKAARINEEM,
TAAM KAROTI DVIJO MOHAAT
PAADKRICCHRENSHUDHYATI.

(A sleep during the time of Brahmamuhurta destroys all the virtues, One who sleeps during this time commits a sin, which can be atoned (PRAYASCHIT) by performing PAADAKRICCHA (There is no need for atonement in the case of a sick man or a man who had been performing KEERTANA the previous night.)
