Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Jai Ramji Ki! Dear Friends: Of course there is a word for religion in Indian language. It is yoga. It has fallen into disuse, but certainly it is there. The word religion is thought to be derived from latin. I have read that it may mean " to unite with" or to "rely upon" God. This is nothing else than yoga. In the old days, yoga was used in this meaning. But now it means specific path to liberation and exercise.
