 Sadhana of Mahamudra Class
Sadhana may be translated as "means of accomplishment." The Sadhana of Mahamudra was written in 1968 by Trungpa Rinpoche at Taktsang in Bhutan, in a cave where the great Tibetan Saint Padmasambhava meditated--a site held in great reverence in Buddhism.
The Sadhana is the result of Trungpa Rinpoche's exposure to both Western spiritual materialism and the wisdom of the traditional Buddhist approach to reality.
The Sadhana of Mahamudra has been acknowledged as terma, which is Tibetan for "treasure" and refers to authoritative religious literature said to have been preserved in hidden places to be recovered at a point in time when needed by the world.

 Sadhana of the jiva: Pure Bhakti
Sadhana bhakti is called vaidhi bhakti when the soul practices devotion to Krsna according to the regulation of scriptures, lacking natural attraction to Krsna.
