Skanda
Tirtha: Brahma-muhūrta (as temporal tīrtha within Kāśī practice)
Type: ghat
Scene: Pre-dawn Kāśī: a quiet courtyard with a lamp, the pilgrim rising from sleep, looking toward the river; the sky indigo, first light on temple spires; the mind turning inward toward śreyas.
FAQs
The brahma-muhūrta is best for clarity and dharma-oriented resolve; use it to aim at lasting spiritual welfare.
No single tīrtha is named; the instruction is given in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s broader framework of living dharmically in Kāśī.
Wake during brahma-muhūrta and engage in contemplative practice (preparation for japa, pūjā, or remembrance).
