Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 AATHREYA - Dr.BalaKrishna Murthy Ramaraju ( RBK Murthy ) 27 Mackay Dr. Marlborough , MA 01752 - 1935 Cell : 508 - 265 - 1124 AATHREYA - Spelling and English Some time back I posted a mesage about BUDHA (graha = planet Mercury) where in I mentioned that Budha is the son of Chandra and Thaara and he was adopted by Bruhaspathi, Deva Guru . Under the tutelage of Bruhaspathi , Budha became erudite and well learned . Budha , I said , became a " BUDDHIMANTHA " = a very wise person. In Telugu we use the word " BUDDHIMANTHUDU " denoting a person who is clever and also well behaved. A friend pointed out to me that my version of spelling " BUDDHIMANTHA " is wrong and it should be " BUDHIMATA " It was also further pointed out to me that English is a dead language and that I should switch to Sanskrit in Devanagari Script and in fact several friends asked me the same ,to write Slokas in Devanagari Script ; but I learnt all my Sanskrit using Telugu Script with which I am more comfortable , but Telugu Script can not reach many and I prefer to continue todo what I am doing using English . I am good at Sanskrit but poor in Devanagari. Thanks for your patience and understanding. aathreya - r b krishna murthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
