The yogic teachings tell us that the most effective time to meditate is between the hours of 3:00 and 6:00 a.m., known as the ambrosial hours. This is when the channels are the clearest and worldly distractions are at their lowest ebb. Yogic practices during this time are called "Sadhana". For me, staying awake is the first priority. So, to keep ourselves, and others awake, we have developed some fairly up-tempo chanting. Apologies for those who like slower music at that time of the morning.
