Master Question Registry
Top Questions Asked Across Sources
Why must Jeev Seva and worship be performed without display, and what happens if they are shown off?
Jeev Seva and personal worship must be done quietly and never publicized — showing off spiritual practice, such as posting it on social media, depletes the merit (punya) it generates.
Why is Loban called Shyama Dhoop, and what is its purpose in Tantra Shastra?
In Tantric texts, Loban is termed 'Shyama Dhoop', and its principal function is to attract negative energies and spirits rather than dispel them — used in advanced sadhanas and specific Tantric temples, not ordinary worship.
Which Mahavidya forms reside at Kamakhya?
Kalika is named as the resident Mahavidya at Kamakhya, though other texts describe her as a unified Kali-Tara form or as Shodashi.
