user10093: Is there an appropriate phrase when some-one says 'sadhu' to you, for example after making an offering at a monastery?
Saying 'no worries', or 'that's okay' doesn't seem appropriate.
Is there a appropriate response, or should I just smile and accept the compliment?

user7049: i don't think Sadhu! requires a response, because it itself is a response or a reaction much like the exclamations Great! Well done!, which normally don't envisage any response

user111: 'Sadhu' means good. So you can say 'Sadhu' back. Here in Sri Lanka we commonly say "Theruwan Saranai", which means "May the noble triple gem be your refuge".
