The Time before early morning, before sunrise is called Brahma Muhurtham, which mean that it is the time to worship God. At that time, all the people are in deep sleep and nobody will disturb you.
The atmosphere is also sacred because the vibrations of mind involved in world matter are not emitted from the people since they are in deep sleep. Mind is also a form of the energy. Mind disappears in the deep sleep. The atmosphere is not polluted by the radiations of the worldly feelings. At that time devotes awake and pray the God. Their pure mental rays pervade all over the world and make the time sacred. Thus it becomes the congenial and encouraging atmosphere.
After the sunrise people awake and the materialistic mental radiations are emitted through the physical senses. The atmosphere is polluted. People will disturb you in dragging you to materialistic discussions. Even by the seeing face, you will be affected. If you see a devote, you become sacred. The mind and the body are inter-related. Since mind is energy and energy is matter, even if you see the body, the mind in that body is emitted out affecting you. Therefore, you avoid even the vision of materialistic people, not to say about their touch, conversation and co-living.
After the sunrise when you worship the God, close your eyes to avoid such people. But, their mental radiations spread all over the cosmos and are inevitable. It is better to walk in the early morning while singing devotional songs. Morning walk is good for the health. Apart from this, the mind desires dynamic condition of the body. The body was in the static condition all over the night. Mind is always for the change. Satisfy the mind and you should not unnecessarily control the mind when it is not neccessary.
You can pray God even without the bath. Veda, Gita and the very first verse of Sandhyavandanam say that the God can be worshipped irrespective of physical formalities. After some time the body is tired and the mind need rest. By that time, sunrise is over. Now you sit at a place and worship the God closing your eyes. Thus the time has its own invisible effect on the spiritual effort. Sattvam is the prominent in the early morning. Rajas is prominent in the day time. Tamas is the prominent in the night. Therefore early morning is the divine time called the Brahma Muhurtham.
