Sadhana

Mangal, jap and shravak sadhana, an introduction to Jain dharma, an introduction to Terapanth, and Preksha — texts and introductions, by topic.

Sadhana means the regular practice by which a practitioner moves toward their aim. In the Jain tradition it is not confined to recitation or meditation: it takes in daily texts, samayik, pratikraman, the procedure of vows, and self-examination.

The material here is arranged by subject: daily texts and procedure, mangal sadhana, jap sadhana, shravak sadhana, an introduction to Jain dharma, an introduction to the Terapanth, and preksha and anupreksha. Each category carries its associated texts along with their method.

Where the order of a procedure matters, it is given in that order, so that it can be followed as it stands.
