Q.3. What are the rules to be followed after taking Diksha?
Ans. After initiation, the devotee is expected to maintain regularity in daily routine of worship (Upasana), a persistent endeavour for developing purity in thoughts words and deeds by studying scriptures and interacting with saintly persons (Sadhana) and by donating a part of oneтАЩs time and resources for welfare activities (Aradhana). Strict adherence to the routine of Upasana - Sadhana - Aradhana is essential. Nevertheless, if there are some momentary disruptions because of contingencies, one should not have any misgivings about divine displeasure, because God, like mother, is full of love, patience and forgiveness.
Though certain restrictions on diet (such as vegetarianism and abstention from hard drinks) are recommended for accelerating progress in Sadhana, these are not mandatory for the beginner. The devotee has free choice of time and period of Upasana to suit his / her routine.
