FAQs

Meditate on Śiva within the heart as pure consciousness, maintaining the disciplined inner posture of a sage.

The instruction belongs to Kedārakhaṇḍa, linking inner dhyāna with the sanctity of Kedāra/Kedārnātha.

Meditation (dhyāna) is prescribed—contemplating the Lord as pure awareness, not as a merely external object.
