Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Dear Vaghela Ji Namaskar and thank you for your message.........will try to answer........in the last month Miss Sy has posted the whereabouts of the online Sanskrit Dictionary at least on one occassion and maybe more than this Other part of this is we live in a world where we have to do the work ourselves if we are to fully understand.........this means you have to go to a Sanskrit Dictionary and look for yourself as the meaning of each Devanagari Spelled Sanskrit Word has many meanings depending on how they are used...........If you do the work yourself you will learn more This is one of the lessons of this life............at the basic level it is the same as balanceing the path of the householder and paying bills with the duties of the Spritual Path so you can learn more about both We see many who are totally Spiritual and Blissful and Happy however they cant hold down a job and find it easier to sit in Meditation and speak on Holy Subjects and let others pay for their life support.......on the the other side we find many who have little Spritual Training however they are successful in business.........then you find people who are on a Path of Self Empowerment and who are changeing to combine the two.........however again they are doing the work themselves and they are learning from this They are wearing the Holy Rudraksha and chanting the Mantras and they are learning Sanskritam by finding a Dictionary and then learning how to pronounce the words by finding the American Sanskrit Institute on the internet and Healing Mantras book on Amazon.com It all comes down to the individual doing the work themselves in order to reap the rewards hope this makes some sense.........the words you asked for meanings for have different meanings depending on how they are used and in what context they are used.......same as any other language.......a person can give a person a general meaning however there is more to meanings than general meanins.......the meanings have to be specific in order to be meaningful hope this helps Wishing you and Family the Best of Health Happiness Success and Prosperity Thanks and Take Care DD In a message dated 7/5/2005 8:11:24 PM Pacific Standard Time, no_reply writes: > > > > > How come no one has answered these questions of mine, or where they > difficult to explain!?>>>> > > > > >I was just wondering what some of these words mean.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Rasa means mood e.g mood of a lover and his/her beloved Tattva refers to elements in certain schools of Indian philosophy Samskara refers to the result of actions performed, the traces in the energetic body, they can also refer to specific ceremonies, riddhi refers to riches of various times (0ften 9) siddhis are powers attained through various yogic or spiritual means Arjuna gcat_mmv <no_reply> wrote: How come no one has answered these questions of mine, or where they difficult to explain!?>>>> > > I was just wondering what some of these words mean.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Friend The words below are in english. First of all, it is very difficult to provide exact match to some of the Sanskrit words in english. Moreover in Sanskrit a slight change in spelling or even the emphasis on the sound of letters constituting a word can cause the word to be a whole different meaning altogather. Moreover some of the words have a different meaning when they are standing alone, but in a sentence the same words can mean slightly or sometimes completely different. Therefore the best way to get these or any other words translated to as literal a meaning as possible, if you can do it, is to physically go to someone who speaks the two languages (e.g. Sanskrit & English for this instance) and tell them the sound & the context and get them to translate to nearest possible litertal meaning of the words. I'll try and translate them as far as the pronunciation of the words below goes: RAS - Juice/s. but can mean emotions or state of mind in some contexts. TATVA - element. Generally referred to in context of five basic elements constituting the visible world according to sacred Hindu texts. SANSKAARS - No actual literal word in english as far as I know. Generally used to describe a person's personality. This generally constitutes a number of strands like the family the person was born in, That person's current Karma, Karma from previous lives, Effects of the relations & friendships on person's personality and so on. RIDDHI - Generally referred to the forms of wealth e.g. a person can have material wealth, wealth of knowledge, wealth of Karma and so on.... The difference in ordinary wealth and "Riddhi" is that "Riddhi" is referred to describe people who have absolute abundance of that particular form of wealth (to coin a cliche it describes people with Midas Touch - where Midas can be shown to have riddhi of gold such that everything Midas touched turned to Gold). SIDDHI (is SIDDH the same word?) - Something that a person can master through hard work and devotion to their cause. This is generally referred to in context of miraculous powers that some people seem to have achieved through meditation or devotion to a particular deity with the desire of achieving some form of power/s. But as I said before, your best bet to get the correct translation would be to physically go to someone and get the words translated based on their pronounciations rather than this way.
