Top Questions Asked Across Sources
How is the Viniyoga modified for a Samput recitation of the Saptashloki?
The standard Viniyoga stays the same through 'Devatah'; the reciter then names their specific wish right after 'Durga Preetyartham', before calling it a Samput recitation.
Why does energy retention differ between a paper photograph and a solid metal idol?
A paper photograph can hold worship energy for only about 12 hours before turning neutral, while a properly established metal idol accumulates and retains it for years — the core reason a physical idol, not just a photograph, is recommended for serious home worship.
How long does consecrated energy last in different idol materials?
Energy retention scales with the material: about 12 hours in a paper photograph, roughly 11 years in a mobile-consecrated brass idol, about 25 years in silver, and about 100 years in gold — with regular daily worship continually extending it.
