FAQs

Tīrtha-māhātmyas frequently include maṅgala sequences to ritually ‘seal’ the narration and protect the listener/pilgrim. Graha-invocations extend the blessing to time, fate, and journey—domains traditionally governed by planetary deities.

‘Svasti’ is general well-being; ‘svastyayana’ emphasizes an auspicious trajectory—safe passage, favorable unfolding of events, and a protected life-course—especially apt for pilgrimage or undertaking vows.

‘Kāvya’ is a Purāṇic epithet of Śukra (Venus), linked to the Bhṛgu lineage and famed as the Asura-preceptor. The name highlights his role as a bestower of prosperity, learning, and worldly success within the graha framework.
