WHAT DOES YOJAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Yojana

A Yojana (Sanskrit : योजन ) is a Vedic measure of distance that was used in ancient India. It is equivalent to about 13 km (8 mi) as per modern measures of distance, though the exact value is disputed among scholars (between 8 and 13 km (5 and 8 mi)). In modern Hindi the word yojanaa (Hindi : योजना) means "plan" or blueprint, and is etymologically connected with the Cartesian notion of distance in the word yojana. However, note that the words "yojana'" and "yojanaa" are different, and pronounced differently. The last sound of the second word is pronounced "aa" as in arm.
