Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Namaste! First off: I'd like to know the translation of the word Christmas into sanskrit? Do anyone knows here? My friends and i we will have a vegetarian party in christmas and we are looking for a name for that party either in english and or spanish. IT will be at a vegetarian restaurant called ANANDA and we want to associate the name of the party with this word. I'd like sugestions for that name please cause you are spiritual people who are seeking the Truth and i trust in your intuition, i'd thank you so much for your help, dear friends, i hope you help cause this is not a trivial request,...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Namaste: It is my understanding that Christmas stands for the "Birthday of Christ." Christ stands for God. In Sanskrit, 'Ishwara' stands for God and 'Jayanthi' stands for Birthday. For example, KrishnaJayanthi stands for Krishna's birthday. Given these facts, I believe that "IshwaraJayanthi" would fit well with Christmas. One of the potential name for the party is "Blissful Retreat!" Ananda stands for Bliss and Retreat is preferable instead of calling it as a party. A good Sanskrit Substitute for Retreat is "SatSangh." Satsangh stands for meeting of spiritual seekers in search of Truth. Warmest regards and wish you Happy Holidays!

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Namaste, To add to the excellent choices selected by Ram-ji, Jesus is popularly known as Yeshu in India; so, "Yeshu-Jayanti", or "Yeshu-Janma" could also be considered. By analogy, the birthdays of Rama and Krishna are also known by the the 'tithi' (day of lunar calendar), eg. Rama-Navami or Krishna-Ashtami. So if the tithi for Jesus birth is known, Christmas could also be called by that tithi added to Yeshu , eg Yeshu-chaturthi or whatever. The sanskrit word for a party is 'sambhojanam'. Or one may like -"Fiesta de Felicidad"!

The Mass is an ancient Sacrifice of Bread and Wine, from Jesus' Last Supper and is the same as the Essenic Holy Meal. The Zoarastrians have something similar as well. (Parsees).Except the Essenses used a 'Must' or non alcoholic wine. The Mass is said daily on all days of the year at least once. Many feasts have a name like Michaelmass, etc. Jesus blessed the bread and wine and said, 'This is my body and this is my blood, do this in commemoration of me'. He of course was speaking as the 'Universal', which at some levels people don't fully appreciate. Jesus was the man who became the 'Christ', or Mukta. It is said that the Greek Christos is a cognitive with the Sanskrit Krista which is another name for Krishna and roughly means the same thing. So to translate into Indic terms I would call it a combination of a Bhajan, and a Puja........Yeshujayanti or Issajanma would be suitable...............ONS....Tony.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Namaste I think "Christu Jayanthi" wouldbe more suitable.

Christu denotes the Sakti or Saguna/Mukta and reflects the state of 'Divinity', which is constant. Jesus or Jeshua reflects the name of the Jiva that became a Jivanmukta and is more accurate and appropriate. Krishna, Rama, Ramana, etc all kept their body names, for that was what the form was. Christ is constant and unborn. So Jeshua Jayanthi is the more appropriate IMO......ONS..Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
