FAQs

Devotees should approach the sacred with repentance and reliance on divine shelter, even as entire communities move toward refuge.

Revā/Narmadā as the protective sanctuary (saṃśraya) for pilgrims and sages.

Kṣamā-yācñā (requesting forgiveness) and taking śaraṇa/saṃśraya (refuge) are emphasized.
