FAQs

Spiritual success depends on Śiva’s grace; devotion to Kāśīnātha is a direct means to purify the mind.

Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), through its lord Kāśīnātha/Viśveśa, is explicitly praised as the refuge for inner purification.

Taking refuge in (worship/serving) Kāśīnātha is prescribed as a sādhanā for citta-śuddhi (mind purification).
