"Brahma" = the creator. Brahma Muhurta is the last two muhurtas before sunrise — roughly 96 minutes ending at the moment of sunrise. Classical texts call this the most sattvic window of the day; the mind is naturally pristine, the atmosphere is electrically calm, and the body is fully rested.
How it is computed
Take the muhurta length from sunset → next sunrise, divide by 15 (the night has 15 muhurtas just as the day does). The 14th and 15th night-muhurtas form Brahma Muhurta:
- Start = sunrise − (2 × night muhurta length) ≈ sunrise − 1h 36m
- End = sunrise (some texts give end = sunrise − 1 muhurta ≈ sunrise − 48m; RVA uses the broader 2-muhurta definition)
What Brahma Muhurta is for
Traditional uses:
- Meditation, japa, pranayama, sandhya vandanam.
- Studying — especially scripture, mantras, anything requiring memorisation.
- Spiritual initiation (deeksha).
- Composing important documents or correspondence.
- Starting a new course of study.
It is not traditionally used for marriage, housewarming or business openings — those happen during the bright part of the day.
How the filter works
Brahma Muhurta is a prefer-only filter. The two states are:
- Yes — slot is inside Brahma Muhurta.
- No — slot is outside Brahma Muhurta.
Default keeps both. To restrict to Brahma Muhurta windows only, uncheck "No".
