Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Sparrow, I don't know the answer but am guessing that saddha equates to sraddha, the way Pali dhamma does to Sanskrt dharma. Maybe a different root than saadhana, in Indian languages that short and long aa are significant and different. jai Maa Max >I came across this Pali definition this morning and wondered if the >sanskrit word sadhana is somehow related through a root word with >saddha in Pali?. . . > >The literal for saddha here is truly beautiful. . .To place the heart upon.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks Max. . . It is such a beautiful expression; " To place the heart upon. " I checked an online Sanskrit to English dictionary but was not able to find the a simple surface connection between the saddha and sadhana.
