🌕 चन्द्रिका आश्रम
Moonlit Ashram

The place
The pre-dawn hours before sunrise are called brahma muhurta and are traditionally held to be the best time for practice. The reasoning offered is mostly practical — nothing is being asked of you yet, and nobody will interrupt.
What it suits
Night practice, wind-down sits, and anyone whose only reliable quiet hour is after the household is asleep.
Sit here
This environment appears in the daily One Hour Monk rotation, with its own ambient sound and palette carried through the whole session.
