FAQs

By presenting Śiva (Īśa) and Kṛṣṇa in a scene of mutual honour and divine harmony, the verse supports the Purāṇic teaching that the Supreme reality is one, appearing through distinct divine forms for līlā and guidance.

No technical āsana or dhyāna is specified; the practice emphasized is bhakti expressed through pūjā and reverent attendance (sampūjā). In the Kurma Purana’s Shaiva framework, such worship functions as a preparatory discipline that purifies the mind for higher yoga and knowledge.

Śiva is shown taking Kṛṣṇa by the hand and moving in auspicious companionship with Devī, while sages and devas offer worship—an image that reinforces non-sectarian unity and mutual reverence between Śaiva and Vaiṣṇava divinities in the Kurma Purana.
