Abstract	Amritvela, also known in classical Indian disciplines as Brahma Muhurta, refers to the early pre-dawn period traditionally considered conducive for spiritual practice, psychological clarity, and holistic well-being. Indian spiritual and health traditions — especially Sikhism, Ayurveda, and Yoga — prescribe rising during this time as a foundational lifestyle discipline. While ancient scriptures attribute profound spiritual benefits to this practice, modern Indian empirical research has begun investigating its physiological and cognitive impacts. Evidence from clinical studies suggests that early rising correlates with improved attention, memory, and circadian alignment (“Brahma-muhurtha effect” on learning tasks) among young volunteers. Furthermore, Ayurvedic scholarship now emphasizes the synchronization of dinacharya (daily routine) with biological rhythms, with Brahma Muhurta acting as a critical entraining cue. This paper synthesizes scriptural injunctions, traditional health science insights, Indian empirical studies, and modern lifestyle research to establish a multi-dimensional model linking early waking to success in personal, professional, educational, and spiritual domains.
