FAQs

Steady observance of niyama (disciplined vow) strengthens inner focus and makes one’s spiritual effort consequential even to the gods.

Puṣkara is highlighted as the place where the vow is undertaken and sustained with concentration.

A continued niyama/vow-observance (vrata) with mental composure (samādhi-like steadiness) is implied.
