But there is something tricky about it: in effect it discourages family life. For two reasons:

(1) A full-time job plus the sheer necessity of sleep plus 6 hours of spiritual practice does not allow for anything else except on weekends.

(2) Strict chastity. Impossible for most people nowadays, more so within a relationship.

The period between age 20 and 40, under the right circumstances, is excellent for getting used to a spiritual life. It is a pity that exactly in this period people are encouraged to do all kinds of other things and kept busy.

But I think 6 hours is a reasonable minimum amount for a serious Kriyaban. Someone performing the whole set of Indian or traditional Kriya twice a day will end up with 6 hours a day anyway. It isn't especially tough, but it simply requires a lot of time.
