Educational Q&A

Regular engagement with profound dharma-teachings—through daily recitation or faithful listening with a focused, non-critical mind—brings protection from impediments (vighna) and freedom from fear, emphasizing disciplined practice and reverent receptivity.

Within the Anuśāsana Parva’s instructional setting, a divine authority (Viṣṇu) is presented as endorsing the daily study/hearing of the sages’ and gods’ dharma-secrets, promising practical spiritual fruit: obstacles lose their force and fear does not arise.
