Āchāra Vyavahāra — Physical & Mental Discipline
To preserve the sanctity of the Stotram, both physical and mental cleanliness are essential. Mental purity may take time — and Jagadamba understands that. However, physical discipline is non-negotiable.
I know some of you may have arguments around dress and appearance. I am not getting into those debates. This series follows a traditional discipline, and that includes physical conduct. If that doesn't work for you, this is not the right space for you right now. Build that physical discipline first — and then come back.
Discipline is not restriction — it is alignment with divine energies.
Where there is alignment and clarity, there is divine grace. 🙏
