FAQs

Dharma in Kali-yuga is upheld through accessible acts—tīrtha-bathing and capacity-based charity—whose merits are affirmed in Kṛṣṇa’s sacred context.

The immediate discourse is within Dvārakā-māhātmya, implicitly elevating Dvārakā as a Kali-yuga anchor of Kṛṣṇa’s presence while referencing tīrthas broadly.

Snāna (bathing) at tīrthas and dāna (charity) given according to one’s means (śaktyā).
