Shravanam is a Sanskrit term that means "listening" or "hearing," and it is a fundamental practice in Hindu spiritual traditions. In the context of bhakti yoga and other devotional practices, shravanam refers to the devoted listening to sacred scriptures, stories, and teachings about the divine. It is considered the first and most crucial step in the nine forms of bhakti (devotion) because it lays the foundation for spiritual growth and understanding. Through attentive and reverent listening, devotees absorb the wisdom and knowledge of their faith, fostering a deeper connection with the divine.
