FAQs
In Kali-yuga, accessible yet sacred offerings—especially tulasī-connected worship—are emphasized as universally pleasing and spiritually effective.
Dvārakā is the māhātmya context where Hari’s preferred offerings are taught, though the principle is framed as Kali-yuga universal dharma.
Use tulasī-wood candana as an offering in worship of the devas, in Pitṛ rites, and particularly in Hari’s pūjā in Kali-yuga.
