Time-Table For An Aspirant: by Swami Sivananda

The document outlines a sample daily schedule for spiritual aspirants, allocating time for activities like asana, pranayama, meditation, scripture study, service, and mantra writing while also including rest periods. The schedule is presented as an ideal that balances spiritual practice with physical exercise and was observed by a young aspirant during his time at the Ashram. While only two hours are formally dedicated to japa and meditation, the note encourages remembering the Lord constantly throughout the day.

Ashram. It is an ideal me-table, as it includes all aspects of Sadhana, giving at the same me items of health and

sleep at night and rest during day me. Though the actual me allo ed for Japa and medita on is only two hours, yet
you should remember the Lord constantly throughout the day and carry mental Japa during all hours.
