Sadhana (spiritual practice) leads to peace, happiness, prosperity and immortality. Purity of heart is to be attained through meditation, prayer, japa, kirtan, study of sacred scriptures and selfless service to humanity. Collective sadhana, group prayers and kirtan (singing devotional songs) have a tremendous elevating effect. Sadhana is a means to attain the goal of life. This means spiritual practice that helps the aspirant to realize God. One should do sadhana to attain the state of final beatitude. Only those aspirants whose minds are purified by vigorous service and sadhana will be benefited by a life of solitude. Constant remembrance of the Lord is the actual sadhana for God realization. Life is short; time is fleeting, apply yourself diligently to sadhana. In sadhana you should always aim higher and higher and aspire for higher and higher grades of spiritual attainments. Before you commence your daily sadhana, your must first invoke Guru's blessings. Then all your efforts will be crowned with success. Sadhana without viragya will have no effect.
