FAQs
It teaches internalization of worship: by performing nyāsa—installing sacred loci within the body—the practitioner turns the body into a ritual field and then meditates steadily on Dharā’s son according to the previously given method.
Bhakti here is expressed as embodied upāsanā: devotion is made concentrated and intimate by placing the deity and support-points within oneself, so meditation becomes continuous remembrance rather than only external ritual.
It reflects technical upāsanā procedure (nyāsa and dhyāna-viniyoga), a ritual-application style often taught alongside Vedāṅga-informed disciplines where precise placement, sequence, and prescribed method (“prākvat”) are essential.
