The popularity of the book like every other book by Swami Sivananda is so great that it has gone into eight editions within a period of forty seven years. If one is embarking on a spiritual life,it has to be built upon and sustained by three important supports,i.e., a well conceived ideal,a definite programme of life and a background of thought.

The book explains in great detail the way one should go about to acheive the three supports,ultimately leading to SADHANA
