Idiye Sadhana is a Carnatic devotional composition performed by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The track appears as the fifth entry on the album Sri Annamacharya Samkirtanas, released on CD by Saregama India Ltd. in 1994. The song spans 4 minutes and 45 seconds in duration.

The album Sri Annamacharya Samkirtanas compiles devotional works attributed to the 15th-century composer-saint Annamacharya, a revered figure in the Telugu-speaking regions of South India. Subbulakshmi’s rendition of Idiye Sadhana adheres to the classical kirtana format, characterized by lyrical devotion and melodic intricacy. The composition’s textual content centers on themes of spiritual surrender and divine grace, though specific lyrical analysis remains undocumented in available sources.

M.S. Subbulakshmi (1916–2004) achieved recognition for her contributions to Carnatic music and devotional repertoire, including interpretations of Annamacharya’s works. Her recording of Idiye Sadhana reflects her signature vocal technique, marked by precise gamaka (ornamentation) and controlled phrasing. The album’s production credits and accompanying instrumentalists are not explicitly detailed in the provided context.
