Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Sat Nam, dear Siri Ram Kaur, I am just preparing my kids yoga class (as after school activity in our international school) and might answer you: The language is Gurmukhi, an ancient indian language. In fact 'Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo' is in the Naad - the essence of sound. 'Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo' means roughly translated 'I greet the wise teacher within me and outside of me'. The best explanation for the little yogis I found comes from the book 'Fly like a butterfly' from Shakta Kaur Khalsa - you might order it from Yogatech (hello Gordon!). Here it goes: '... This sound contacts your inner teacher, and connects you to all yoga teachers, sort of like the beautiful blue ocean connects one wave to another! When you tune in this way, you are saying, 'I am making a special space so the best can come to me!' .... To say thank you in KY I would just say 'You are welcome' or 'Thank you' ;-) To give yourself a more exotic touch you could also say 'Sat Nam', fold the hands in prayer pose in front of the heart and bow slightly forward. The kids will love it - and copy it immediately. Sending blessings and light from Shanghai, Adarsh S.
