Yukta meaning
Yukta (युक्ता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Joined, united; absorbed in meditation; skilful; fit, proper
Yukta (युक्ता) is the feminine of Sanskrit yukta, from yuj, "to yoke, to join", the same root as yoga. Monier-Williams gives yoked, joined or united, absorbed in meditation, skilful and experienced, and fit, proper or right. In the Bhagavad Gita the yukta is the person whose mind is steady and disciplined through yoga. Name lists give "joined", "united" or "skilful", all from the dictionary. A well-known bearer is Yukta Mookhey, crowned Miss World in 1999.
