FAQs

Devotional singing offered to Hari and Hara is a direct means to liberation or to abiding in their divine presence.

The verse is situated in Kāśīkhaṇḍa, aligning the merit of kīrtana with Kāśī’s liberating spiritual atmosphere.

The implied practice is singing hymns in the divine presence (kīrtana/gāna) as an offering.
