1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Sandhya ārati means just in the evening.
Room Conversation -- November 4, 1976, Vrndavana:

Prabhupāda: ...one hour.

Pradyumna: Just after it gets dark.

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Pradyumna: Just after sun does down it gets a little dark.

Prabhupāda: Then at what time it should be happened? You can inquire from other temple.

Akśayananda: Last winter we had, 6:30.

Pradyumna: With the season it changes little.

Prabhupāda: So is there any regulation given in the pañjikā, when?

Pradyumna: Just... Only regulation given for timing is that for Deity going to rest at noon. The Deity should take rest at noon, two yāmas after sunrise, and take rest in evening, one yāma after sunset. But it didn't say anything about the other āratis.

Prabhupāda: The ārati, it is called sandhya ārati. Sandhya ārati means just in the evening. So when evening time is there... After sunset it is not evening. What is the time of sunset nowadays? Bring pañjikā.

Akśayananda: Around 5:30, isn't it?

Prabhupāda: What is the time of sunset?

Hari-śauri: It's about 5:30.

Prabhupāda: 5:30, then one hour after. Then 6:30 is all right. 6:30 is all right.

Akśayananda: Okay. So in that case, when would you like to come and visit?

Prabhupāda: No, 6:30.

Akśayananda: Now you're coming six till seven.

Hari-śauri: 5:30 to 6:30?

Prabhupāda: We shall come... 6:30-7:00, ārati will go on. So we can come half an hour before.

Hari-śauri: 5:30.

Prabhupāda: 5:30. 5:30. Instead of coming there at six, I come there 5:30. And one hour, then 6:30 begins. Make that like that. That will be nice. So why you were not present in the meeting?
