FAQs

Śravaṇa (hearing) and kīrtana (praising) of sacred teachings are themselves purifying acts that generate merit.

The statement supports the Revā/Narmadā māhātmya: hearing and reciting its glory yields spiritual benefit.

Śravaṇa and kīrtana are prescribed as devotional disciplines with purificatory and merit-giving results.
