FAQs
It states that devoted worship of Vishnu (Cakrin), performed with one’s own rightful resources, leads to release from repeated birth—no return to the womb and no re-entry into worldly roles like being born as someone’s son.
Bhakti is presented as decisive, practical worship (pūjā) directed to Vishnu, done with personal sincerity and self-earned means, culminating in liberation (moksha) rather than merely worldly merit.
Ritual discipline (kalpa-oriented practice) is implied: performing pūjā properly and ethically—especially the insistence on ātma-vitta (one’s own honestly obtained wealth) as a key rule for valid worship and offerings.
