Hinduism - What Does Smarana Mean In Sanskrit?

 


(“remembering”) One of the most common religious rituals that appears on lists of religiously praiseworthy deeds.

Smarana is most often connected with deities, but it may also be associated with holy locations (tirthas), one's spiritual teacher (guru), or even specific acts of devotion.

This practice entails thinking about a god, person, location, or item all of the time, and in the case of a deity, it often entails mental recitation of the deity's name.

The main focus of this practice is to develop habitual behavioral patterns that will have long-term positive consequences on one's character.
