Amrit vela — four in the morning.
Meditation at the quietest hour, eyes open, in front of a soft red light. Students describe it as the hinge the rest of the day hangs on.
Amrit vela means the nectar hour, and it means about four in the morning. Students sit upright with the eyes open and soft, often in front of a soft red light representing the point of light, and hold awareness of the soul in connection with the Supreme Soul. Nothing is chanted and nothing is visualised in the usual sense. Keeping the hour is the discipline that most distinguishes committed students from occasional attenders, and it is followed by the Murli class after dawn — seven days a week, in centres worldwide, in Hindi with translations.
