A Sikh, however, is supposed to get up before the dawn of the day and have shower before his daily worship and prayer. It does not mean that meditation at other times is less auspicious.
DASAMDVAR (Skt. dasamadvara), lit. meaning \'tenth gate\', is a concept in Sikhism which signifies the door to enlightenment and spiritual vision. Dasamdvarm the Hathayogic system is also known as brahmrandhra, moksadvara, mahapatha and madhya marga, the terms frequently used in the esoteric literature of medieval India. It is term of religious physiology and its significance lies in its being a concept in the framework of soteriological ideology. Nine apertures (navdvaras) opening towards outside the body serve the physical mechanism of human personality but when their energy, normally being wasted, is consciously channelized towards the self, the tenth gate or the dasamdvar opens inside the body and renders a hyperphysical service by taking the seeker beyond the bondage of embodied existence.
