Susila Budhi Dharma

The name Subud is usually regarded as an acronym formed from three Sanskrit words, Susila, Budhi and Dharma. Briefly, it can be understood to mean "the possibility for human beings to follow the right way of living".

SUSILA - the good behaviour of a human being, or person, which is in line with God's will.

BUDHI - the force of the power of the personal self that is present in the self of human beings.

DHARMA- to surrender, to trust only in God, and to accept without hoping for anything in return, and it means to accept whatever the One God gives.

Subud also has a meaning of its own, "originating in God and returning to God" or "originating from its source and returning to the same source".
