(दशावतार पर ध्यान – आत्मा की दस दिव्य यात्राएं)
Introduction: More Than Worship – An Inner Pilgrimage

The Dashavatara, the ten sacred incarnations of Lord Vishnu, are not only cosmic events—they are inner archetypes, divine forces available to guide your evolution, cleanse your karma, and awaken dormant qualities within you.
This 10-day meditation journey allows you to focus on one Avatāra each day, connecting deeply through visualization, mantra, contemplation, and real-life action.
You don’t need to leave your home. All you need is a quiet space, sincere intent, and ten days of devotion.

Each day follows a simple yet powerful format:
- Visual Dhyāna (Meditation on Form)
