Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Dear Ellen, --- Ellen Sutherland <lovelite wrote: > Hello All, > Could your recommend a dictionary of the terms used > on this site, for example subbaramayya Here is a link to an online Sanskrit Dictionary: http://www.alkhemy.com/sanskrit/dict/dictall.txt You won't find all of the Indian words in it however because not all of the Indian words used are Sanskrit. For instance, you won't find "subbaramayya" in this dictionary because it is a proper name and I don't think that it is Sanskrit anyway. The edition of "Talks with Ramana Maharshi" has a glossary in the back of it that is quite helpful. At certain book stores you can sometimes find a "Glossary of Hindu Terms". At home I use the Sir Monier-Williams Sanskrit Lexicon; but it can be rather difficult to use. You can always ask questions about words in this forum and I'm sure the members would be glad to help.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Dear Ellen, I do not know if you got your question answered..here it is anyway. Subbaramayya is a name of a person and my understanding is that he composed the two Telugu (one of the south Indian languages) verses on Bhagawan. love Yamini --- Ellen Sutherland <lovelite wrote: > Hello All, > Could your recommend a dictionary of the terms used > on this site, for example subbaramayya, which I > could refer to??
