Square 29: Irreligiosity (Adharma) – Recognizing Misalignment on Your Path

Square twenty-nine of your Leela journey introduces you to Adharma, meaning "irreligiosity," "unrighteousness," or "spiritual misalignment." Located within the Heart Chakra (Anahata), Adharma symbolizes moments when your actions, beliefs, or behaviors become disconnected from your deepest spiritual truths and inner values.

What is Adharma?

In Sanskrit, Adharma translates directly as "unrighteousness," "injustice," or "spiritual misalignment." It represents living or acting contrary to your authentic spiritual path (Sudharma), often resulting from distraction, confusion, external pressures, or neglect of your inner values.

In Leela, encountering Adharma serves as a compassionate reminder to return to your core spiritual truths, guiding you back toward authenticity, balance, and emotional harmony.

Encountering Adharma invites you to:

Practice Compassionate Correction: Rather than judging yourself, compassionately realign your thoughts and actions with your deeper values.
Restore Inner Harmony: Reconnect to your heart-centered truths, actively restoring balance and emotional peace.

Adharma reminds you that spiritual misalignments can serve as valuable opportunities to re-center, clarify, and deepen your authentic spiritual commitment.
