Upasana, or worship, holds profound importance in Sanatan Dharma. It is considered the process of drawing closer to the Divine, fostering spiritual development, and preparing the practitioner for liberation (moksha) and ultimate bliss. The sages (rishis) and ascetics (munis) perform upasana as an essential discipline to connect deeply with Brahman—the Supreme Reality. By engaging in continuous worship and meditation, they purify their minds, develop one-pointed concentration, and advance on the path of self-realization.
