Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
'Sadhana' means practise. Sadhana bhakti is the step by step approach to becoming a devotee of the lord.
Like how Rankin prabhuji explained - the gist is to chant 16 rounds of mahamantra attentively and follow 4 regulative principles. To do this, one should have ABCD of devotion - Association of devotees, Books to give knowledge, Chanting the mahamantra and Diet - eating only Krsna mahaprasadam.
Please ask specifically if you have any further questions.
Haribol,
Your servant,
