Questions
Which edition should I choose?
The Hindi edition gives the meanings and instructions in Hindi. The English edition gives them in English and prints every Sanskrit text twice, in Devanagari and in Roman letters, so the family can read along.
What if my family does it differently?
Follow your family. The book says “many families” wherever customs differ, and marks the steps you can leave out.
Are the texts accurate?
Every mantra and aarti was checked word by word against at least two independent written sources, and the common other readings are noted under the text.
What if the file does not open?
Message us on WhatsApp and we will fix it. See the refund policy.
