It teaches uninterrupted remembrance (aharnisha-dhyana) of Hari and presents a unifying vision where the supreme divinity can be contemplated through Durgā-form, while major goddess-identities are understood as one śakti.
Bhakti is framed as continuous meditation on Hari—day and night—making devotion a steady inner practice (smaraṇa/dhyāna) rather than occasional ritual alone, while honoring divine forms without sectarian division.
