GREETINGS

Swamiji:

Twilight or Sundowning has been proven to induce  restlessness, fatigue, mood swings and fear. This is also the time when some harmful UV rays of the Sun hit the earth. So you are advised to sit indoors, in front of a lighted lamp, and pray at that time. The lighted lamp creates an ethereal sphere around it and if you sit close to it, the psychological ill effects of sundowning can be avoided. I would urge all mothers to make it a habit to sit with your children or grandchildren near the lamp for half hour and do Namajapam. If they acquire that habit at young age and understand why they do it when older, they will be able to use it as a means of stress relief at the end of a long work day. Hari Om.
