Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Namaste Madathil-ji, Thanks for the information. Now if I can ask another thing: why do you write sanskrit words with capital and small letters mixed? Yes, you were not entirely wrong. Truly speaking, we are the only one formless Consciousness, Nirakaram. PraNAms Celine Madathil Rajendran Nair <madathilnair wrote: Namaste Celine-ji. 'Ji' is suffixed to show respect. We do that as a matter of habit. Thanks for your clarifications. I wasn't entirely wrong. PraNAms. Madathil Nair Mail - 6MB, anti-spam e antivírus gratuito. Crie sua conta agora!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Namaste Celine-ji. I am supposed to be following a system of transliteration called I- Trans. If it is applied to your id, nirakaram becomes nirAkAram. The capitals indicate elongation. I am not perfect still in this system and there may yet be many mistakes in my transliteration. However, it has become a habit with me to use it whenever I write for this Group. The habit has beocome so strong that it has begun affecting my normal communications. Thus I am slowly becoming nAir! Sunderji is the best person here around to give you more details about this transliteration and where you can obtain related information from. PraNAms (Means 'prostrations' in English, duly transliterated where the last 's' signifies the English plural! The capital 'N' sounds like the 'n' of 'money'. Lower case 'n' stands for the 'n' of 'many' as in your id).
