FAQs
When practice is completed correctly, siddhi manifests naturally; ritual substances are chosen to match the rite’s intention.
The broader glorification remains Camatkārapura and its Citreśvarīpīṭha as a siddhi-giving sacred locus.
For saumya (benign) rites, perform homa using white mustard seeds (sita-siddhārthaka).
