Traditionally, both saakara (with form) and nirakara (formless) worship are allowed and followed. For the newly initiated and early beginners, some aid in the form of visualisation for focusing and paying attention is required. Hence, saakara is practised until one gains concentration. Divine forms are worshipped based on their attributes and characteristics. Some of the forms of worship include chanting names that are descriptions of possibilities and attainments. The stotra tradition is strong and enables one to be onboarded quickly.
