FAQs

True worship is inward as well as outward—pure bhāva, folded hands, and one-pointed meditation together constitute complete devotion.

Ayodhyā is implied as the sanctified setting where meditation on Hari becomes especially fruitful and praised.

Worship (arcana), bowing (namaskāra), and meditation (dhyāna) with ekāgratā are indicated as the devotional regimen.
