Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Indeed. Sankrit has long and short vowels. Long 'a' represented by 'aa' or 'A' Long 'i' represented by 'ii' or 'I', and so on. As well as dental and retroflex 't' represented by 't' and 'T', the same with most other consonants. For a transliteration to be accurate, we need a means of showing these differences. But this is not indicated in the posts here. anbudan john RamanaMaharshi, J Kalianandaswami <baba108 wrote: > > Hari OM > > does anyone know where a sankrit version or a properly transliterated version > of the ramaNa sahasranaama is - this is ok for general knowledge - but it is > not proper sanskrit and can not be chanted nor studied in depth - point being > in samskritam there are two I's two A's two U's four T's four N's four D's and on > and on - plus each word has a multitude of meanings - but to fully understand it > the english alphabet need modification > > Jai Sri Bhagavan ( jai shrii bhagaavan ) > Janardana Kalianandaswami ( janaardana kaaliianandasvaamii ) > > ps this jiva is in no way an expert in sanskrit and is attempting to learn sanskrit - there is no wish to discredit these posts nor the author of the book they are taken > from > > > > New Messenger with Voice.
