Devotee (2): Swamiji? When we ring bells especially for the Deities at 6:30, does that put Them to sleep then?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. Not six-thirty. One and a half hour before sunrise.
Devotee (2): Oh. So we should say prayers in the morning at one hour and a half before sunrise?
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is the system.
Devotee (2): Oh.
Prabhupāda: Yes. In Vṛndāvana you'll find just early in the morning before... Exactly one and a half hours before sunrise all temples will ding-dong, ding-dong, like this. And people will automatically rise up and go to see the first ceremony. It is very nice. So that you'll be forced to rise early in the morning. If you practice you'll be practiced to... "Early to rise, early to..." "Early to bed, early to rise"?
Devotee (2): "...makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
Prabhupāda: Yes. You become automatically healthy, wealthy and wise. Yes. But here you are accustomed to sleep up to twelve o'clock. (laughs) No. That is not good.
