Sadhana and Growth

Sadhana and Growth

These are talks given by G. Aditya in the course of discussions, discourses and answering questions. They are addressed mostly to those doing sadhana around Him and thus they deal with fundamental questions regarding the spiritual journey – What is the object of sadhana? Why does it need total commitment? What attitudes are thereby required? Why is the company of a Teacher so fundamental? What does the process of sadhana entail? Which obstacles and pitfalls await one who is walking this path? They have been recorded live and transcribed by the sadhaks. A minimal amount of editing has been done to ensure readability.

G. Aditya has been resident in Uttarkashi valley, Himalayas, since 1985, immersed in sadhana. A lover of solitude and the forests that surrounded His simple kutir, His life became public when seekers began gathering around Him for guidance in their spiritual pursuit. Thus Arya Vihar Ashram was established in 1994 as a Ṛishi Kulam, a spiritual community where sadhaks could live in his presence and dedicate themselves to the long, integrated and transforming process of sadhana with the realisation of the Divine to be lived in life – a life Divine. “Sadhana and Growth” has been followed by “Sadhana and Growth vol. 2”. Though both books contain live transcribed talks they are not sequels and stand independently of each other.
