FAQs
It teaches sarvadevatātmabhāva—seeing the one Supreme (Nārāyaṇa/Vishnu) as the inner reality of all divine functions: rulership (Indra), life-force (Vāyu), nourishment/nectar (Soma), dissolution (Antaka), transformation (Agni), restraint/order (Varuṇa), and illumination (Sūrya).
Bhakti here is practiced by unified vision: instead of worshipping fragmented powers separately, the devotee offers all praise to the one Lord who appears as every devatā and every cosmic role—making devotion single-pointed (ekānta-bhakti) and spiritually integrating daily experience.
It aligns with Jyotiṣa and Dik-devatā concepts (e.g., Nirṛti as the southwest guardian) and the Vedic devatā framework used in mantra and ritual mapping—helping a practitioner understand how cosmic functions referenced in rites ultimately point to one supreme presiding Reality.
