aradhana (Worship)
Aradhana, or worship, is a spiritual practice found in various religions, particularly in Hinduism. It involves showing reverence and devotion to a deity or divine figure through rituals, prayers, and offerings. The purpose of aradhana is to connect with the divine, seek blessings, and express gratitude.
During aradhana, devotees may chant mantras, sing hymns, or perform specific rituals that vary by tradition. This practice can take place in temples or at home, often accompanied by the presence of sacred items like idols, images, or symbols representing the divine. Aradhana fosters a sense of community and spiritual growth among practitioners.
