दर्शन
/dar-SHAH-nah/Ritual
Seeing — the auspicious sight of a deity, guru, or sacred object. In the Tantric framework, darśana is a transmission: the visual contact with a consecrated form transmits a specific frequency. The word also means "philosophy" or "viewpoint" — the particular lens through which a tradition interprets reality.
