In the SPGC Sikh Rehat Maryada it is written to arise in the Amrit Velā, bath, and meditate on the divine Naam (through Simran and Naam Japna). The Guru Granth Sahib states that "those who consider themselves a Sikh must wake up daily at Amrit vela and be in tune with the Naam (the Lord's Name)" Guru Nanak in the Japji Sahib (4th Pauri) says, "In amrit velā meditate on the grandeur of the one true Name." The importance of Amrit Vela is found throughout the Guru Granth Sahib. This is according to the Pahar system of time most Sikhs typically translate this time to start 3:00am. Amrit Velā ( Punjabi: ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੇਲਾ, lit: Time of Amrit) refers to integral religious time used for daily meditation and recitation of Gurbani hymns, during last part of the night before the dawning of the early morning sun. ![]()
