Avinash Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 There are so many posts in this thread asking for help in writing names in Hindi/Sanskrit for tattoing. I am really curious to know how so many people (many of whom may not have met each other) are interested in knowing how their names or the names of some of their near and dear ones look in Sanskrit. Could you please throw some light on how you got interested in seeing names in Sanskrit? Please note. I am asking this only out of curiosity. (The thread 'Do you want to write in Hindi/Sanskrit' should help you create tattoos in Hindi/Sanskrit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I believe it is because of David Beckham, the english football player, who got a tattoo of his wife's name in sanskrit (which was misspelled incidentally). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Is David Beckham Hindu? or interested in Hinduism? I would assume he must have some interest to get a sanskrit tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 He is a westerner (white). I am not sure why he got the tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drkpp Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 The name victoria is properly written. It is not misspelt. Sanskrit, Hindi & Marathi are the 3 languages which use the samr devanagari script. Hence the name translations appear same in these languages. Also, these languages are phonetic i.e. they are written as they are spoken ( no silent letters, different pronounciations, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 The name victoria is properly written. It is not misspelt. The name is absolutely misspelled. There is no need to put H into the devanagari. It is pronounced Viktoria, without any stress; not VHIKTORIA. The H has no place in it.

Jahnava Nitai Das Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Here is what one scholar has commented on the misspelled tattoo: Padmesh Gupta, president of the United Kingdom Hindi committee and editor of Purvai, a Hindi language magazine said: "Whoever wrote this tattoo is clearly not a Hindi expert. There is no H in Victoria when it is written in Hindi." A spokesman for the Hindi department at the Indian High Commission in central London said: "Victoria is a name that we are used to writing in Hindi because of Queen Victoria. I can assure you that there is no H in Victoria. Complete article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4097437,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yes, 'H' sound is not required in Victoria. But, when I first came to know that 'Victoria' was written in Hindi wrongly, I thought that the tattoo shows something, which is not a Hindi word at all. However, in reality, the tattoo does show a Hindi word though not what should be expected. May be some Hindi speaking person made wrong suggestion to Beckham.

Avinash Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 After making the previous post, I went to the page that contains article on this issue. The statement by David Beckham's spokeswoman is amusing. She says as if Hindu and Hindi were two different languages. According to her, the tattoo is spelt correctly as per Hindu language.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I didn't even know David Beckham had a tattoo in sanskrit. The reason i am interested in getting a sanskrit tattoo is because I don't think the english language has a word equivalent to Dhriti. Plus, as an artist, I personally love the way sanskrit looks, which I think thats why many people like getting tattoos in it and then theres its whole history which is also very interesting. For most people, i don't think it has anything to do with David. But the more research i have done on sanskrit tattoos, i have discovered many celebrities have them including Jessica Alba who has Lotus on wrist and Alyssa Milano who has one on her neck, i forget what it is though. I don't think David influenced them either.... Many people get it for the religious aspect also. Also, this is the only website that i have found, after a lot of searching, that had a forum like this and therefore, everyones coming here.

drkpp Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 The name is absolutely misspelled. There is no need to put H into the devanagari. It is pronounced Viktoria, without any stress; not VHIKTORIA. The H has no place in it. It depends entirely on pronunciation of the name. Same name could be said differently by diferent people. Charlotte has different pronunciation in English & French. If Davd Beckham wants it Vhiktoria then that is the correct word. This problem arises because Hindi is a phonetic language & words are written as they are spoken. So the is written the way one wants to say it the actual way.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Some of us are Hindu - like my self.....the OM symbol has been overdone & over used to such a commerical cliche....it was something i did not want permeant on my skin for the rest of my life.... But my name however, was given to me by my mother - who took care & thought into my name...it is something that is personal to me....it is something that will never change in my life....and means something a great deal.... a person's body may be a canvas....but...what one chooses to put on that is inhertly self expression - who they are...and what they like to say about themsleves....about who they are... but that's just my feeling on it...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Namasthe, I'm sop glad to know that more and more people are becoming interested in Sanskirt, yoga, and Vedic tradition in general. I was born in Peru (Latin America) and I'm a devotee of Lord Krishna. I witness everyday how lots of people are connected with Vedic tradition by practicing yoga, eating vegetarian food, using ayur-vedic medicine, and even choosing spiritual names for their children. God's names are so sacred and powerful that even if the people are not so interested or don't have a strict sadhana, the Holy Names work. I just wanna say THANK YOU to all the merciful Indian devotees who share with us the miracles of Vedic spirituality. (I have Vedic tattoos and would love to share them with all of you.) Yours sincerely, Mr. Carlos. A. Cavero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
