FAQs
It teaches that true tirtha-fruit arises when the pilgrim is inwardly purified—free from dvandvas, attachment, and envy—so that Vishnu (Janardana) is experienced as directly present.
Bhakti here is not only external visitation; it is devotion supported by sattvic qualities—non-reactivity to opposites, vairagya, and absence of matsarya—making darshana of Janardana ‘sākṣāt’ (immediate and living).
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is ethical-sattvic discipline (vairagya, amatsarya) as the prerequisite for successful tirtha practice and worship.
