FAQs
It teaches that devoted listening (śravaṇa) to Shiva’s sacred narrative brings steady, non-declining siddhi—spiritual maturation sustained by Shiva’s prasāda (grace), not merely personal effort.
In the Kotirudra context (Jyotirliṅga glory), hearing about Shiva’s manifest forms and līlās is itself a bhakti-practice directed to Saguna Shiva, drawing His grace that supports both worldly welfare and inner attainment.
Regular śravaṇa of Shiva Purana/Jyotirliṅga māhātmya with devotion—ideally alongside simple worship such as japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and offering bilva leaves—so that practice is anchored in bhakti and grace.
