Sadhana
The word Sadhana generally indicates ‘a means to an end’. In the realm of Indian religious philosophy the word connotes the practice of an essential discipline through which spiritual realization is attained. Sadhana varies to suit different religious practices though the ultimate aim invariably is salvation. Sadhana, in its diversity involves worship, prayer, meditation, and the purification of body, mind and soul. Hindu sadhana is the science of spiritual discipline. As long as discipline of the mind and body is essential for self-realization, the value of sadhana cannot be belittled. Siddhi is the attainment of perfection reached through unrelenting sadhana.
