Dear list members,

 

Can anyone give me some specific citations in the sanskrit literature where

the word sAdhana is used to mean "religious practice" or "the effort one

makes to reach a religious goal". In the western literature I've seen it

used that way as early as John Woodroffe's writings but I've been told that

in the sanskrit literature it only means effort to reach a goal and doesn't

have a particularly religious connotation.

 

Many thanks,

Harry
