뜻
Working towards a goal for one's whole life.
문화적 배경
The 'Ekushay Padak' is awarded every February to individuals for their 'আজীবন সাধনা' in fields like language, literature, and arts. It is a moment of national pride. In the context of Rabindra Sangeet, singers are often judged by their 'Sadhana'. It's not just about the voice, but the years of understanding the philosophy behind the songs. The term 'Riyaz' (practice) is the daily component, but 'Sadhana' is the lifelong journey. A musician is called a 'Sadhak'. Bengali culture deeply respects the 'lonely scholar' who works in a library or lab for decades. This is seen as the ultimate intellectual 'Sadhana'.
Use with Possessive
Always try to use the possessive form 'সাধনার' (Sadhonar) when followed by a noun like 'ফল' (result) or 'সার্থকতা' (success).
Avoid Slang
Never use this in a slang context; it will make you sound like you are mocking the person.
