The word "Yatamana" is derived from Saḿskrta root verb “yata” + suffix “shánac” and ir means “one who is endeavouring”.[1]
Nature
According to Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, Yatamana is not only a mental effort, but it is a physical and spiritual effort as well. He told, any action that does not lead to to over-all well-being, should not be categorized as Yatamana.
