"B""- GLOSSARIAL INDEX OF SANSKRIT, TAMIL AND OTHER TERMS"

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas:

In deference to the overwhelming requests for the release of the

"GLOSSARIAL INDEX OF SANSKRIT, TAMIL AND OTHER TERMS" and the "TIME-LINE"

included as Annexures to my book “HINDUISM REDISCOVERED”, we begin with the

"Glossary".

 

As the Glossary is rather too lengthy, it is proposed to feature it in a

series of postings in the alphabetical order, with one letter at a time.

 

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

We hasten to assure you that the Glossary is neither exhaustive nor the

meanings erroe-free.

We implore your patience in going through the same and and feel free to

suggest any corrections / improvements through personal mail addressed to

"Ramanbil"

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

 

The "TIMELINE" needs a litttle reformatting. It will be releaed later, when

the reformatting is complete.

 

Neither of them was released to any lists so far.

RESPECTED SIR:

 

YOUR DEED BEFITS YOUR NAME. ONE OF THE MEANING OF YOUR SECOND NAME IS

'KINDNESS/COMPASSION' - ANBU...

 

THE PREFIX IN YOUR NAME REFERS TO LORD RAMA, , WHO IS A MAHAPURUSHA KNOWN

FOR HIS KINDNESS/COMPASSION.

 

THIS EFFORT WHICH YOU HAVE INITIATED WITH REGARD TO THE CAPTIONED TOPIC IS

ONE OF THE MOST SIGINIFICANT WORK, NAY A DIVINE WORK WHICH WAS LONG OVERDUE

AND IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THE WRITER HAS COME ACROSS DURING HIS

INTERACTION WITH THE FORUM OVER THE PAST NEARLY 1 YEAR.

 

ONLY A TRULY DEVOUTED MORTAL WHO IS BLESSED IN THE REAL SENSE CAN HAVE THIS

SENSE OF DEDICATED UNSELFISH PURPOSE

 

THE WRITER'S NAMASKARAMS TO YOU.

 

OM TAT SAT

TAT TVAM ASI
