Square 28: Apt Religion (Sudharma)

Square twenty-eight of your Leela journey brings you to Sudharma, meaning "apt religion," "true spirituality," or "authentic spiritual practice." Situated within the Heart Chakra (Anahata), Sudharma symbolizes the sincere pursuit and embodiment of your unique spiritual path, rooted deeply in your heart and aligned with your highest truths.

What is Sudharma?

In Sanskrit, Sudharma translates as "rightful duty," "correct path," or "true religion." It signifies your authentic spiritual path—the practices, beliefs, and values that deeply resonate within your heart. Sudharma encourages living with integrity, authenticity, and sincerity in your spiritual life, free from external pressures or expectations.

In Leela, encountering Sudharma inspires you to reflect deeply on your unique spiritual truths and encourages living in harmony with your innermost values.
