FAQs
It teaches that tangible acts of devotion—like creating flower-gardens for worship and building temples—generate great puṇya and lead to elevated states of enjoyment, ultimately supporting the soul’s progress toward Shiva’s grace (Pati) through bhakti and service.
Flowers and temples are primary supports for Saguna worship—especially Linga-pūjā—where devotees honor Shiva through offerings and sanctified space; such seva purifies the pashu (bound soul) and loosens pasha (bondage) by cultivating devotion and right conduct.
Maintain a flower garden for daily Shiva worship, offer fresh flowers to the Shiva-linga with the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), and participate in temple service (cleaning, lamp-lighting, and upkeep) as a steady sādhanā.
