I am sure that there there are many experts in Sanskrit language in his forum - who wish to keep a low profile.

Also different notations are used to write Sanskrit words in English.

The 579th name in Sri. SubrahmNya sahasra nAma is given as

Om fadUc-cAtita-pApow-dhAya namah

I managed all the other names so far with the Names given in Tamil - with umpteen spelling mistakes - with my back ground knowledge of Sanskrit.

But this one beats me!:confused:

More so because I am not able to guess the meaning either!

I do not want to give any wrong info in any of my blogs.

Can anyone who can decipher this notation help me with this name PLEASE?
 
ஓம் பஉவநாச்ரயாய நமஹ

ஓம் பஹுHப்ரதாய நமஹ

ஓம் பஹுHச்ருதாய நமஹ

ஓம் பாலார்கத்யஉதிமதே நமஹ

ஓம் பஉவநேச்வராய நமஹ

ஓம் பாவஉகாய நமஹ

A few names seen in the Tamil version of SubramaNya sahasra nAma.

I would have quit long ago ...had I not decided to post 15 sahasra nAmas!

Of these fifteen, five have been posted already.

Six more are ready for posting...ASAP once the new blogs are lunched.

Three are yet to be taken up.
One is under 'operation' literally and figuratively! :ballchain:
 
I am not happy with the existing notation of Sasnkrit letter in English.

ta can be either ட / த
tha can be either ட 2 /த 2

da can be either ட 3/ த 3
dha can be either ட 4 / த 4

sa can be ச ' /ஸ
na can be ந / ன / ண

'deva' can be read as anything but the intended 'dhEva'.

So I am going to follow these notation to put an end to the ambiguity

in the letter/ words/ sounds and length of the vowels used!

a, A, i, ee, u, oo, e, E,
ai, o, O, ou, am, ah

ka, kha, ga, gha, nga,

cha ccha, ja, jha, jna,

ta, tta, da, dda, Na,

tha , ttha, dha, ddha, na,

pa, pha, ba, bha, ma,

ya, ra, la, va, s'a, sha,

sa, ha, ksha, thra, kjna
 

It is NOT JUST the divorce rate that has increased in recent years. Many engagements break even before the weddings takes place!

The reason...???

The girls reveal their true nature (swaroopam and swabhavam) during their chat with the prospective grooms :blabla:
shocking them out of their slumber (rude awakening???) :sleep:
or the boys make their real swaroopam and swabhaavam
made known to the prospective brides!!! :scared:

Should we feel happy that a wrong union was prevented OR

feel sad that these boys and girls are so rigid already that

they do not even want to try out the union??? :bolt:
 
The weddings in which the brides were of a tender and impressionable age had its own advantages. :thumb:

The brides were young, open to suggestions, willing to learn and willing to please their elders.

They had not yet formed their firm outlooks and stubborn opinions.

They learned the life style of their in-law's house and adopted to their customs and concepts more easily. :peace:

They did not have time to fall in live with other boys and mess up their wedded lives. They were like clean new slates which are the best to write upon! :clap2:
 
Talking of 'a clean slate' I was reminded of this Tabula Rasa!

23. Tabula Rasa



“Tabula rasa” is the theory that individuals are born without built-in mental content. All their knowledge comes from experience and perception.

The proponents of the Tabula rasa thesis favor the “nurture” side of the Nature vs Nurture debate, when it comes to aspects of one’s personality, social and emotional behavior, and intelligence.

The term in Latin equivalent to the English “blank slate” or “erased slate”. The word comes from the Roman tabula the wax tablet used for writing notes. The writings were erased or “blanked” by heating the wax and then smoothing it to give a tabula rasa.

Traces of the idea that came to be called the tabula rasa appear as early as the writings of Aristotle. He wrote the first textbook of Psychology in De Anima or On the Soul, Book III, chapter 4.

However the notion of the mind as a blank slate went largely unnoticed for more than 1,000 years.

In the 11th century, the theory of tabula rasa was developed more clearly by the Islamic philosopher, Ibn Sina. He argued that the “human intellect at birth is rather like a tabula rasa, a pure potentiality that is actualized through education and comes to know”.

The knowledge is attained through familiarity with objects in this world from which one abstracts universal concepts.

This is developed through a syllogistic method of reasoning; ”Observations lead to prepositional statements, which when compounded lead to further abstract concepts.”

He further argued that the intellect itself “possesses levels of development from the material intellect, that potentiality can acquire knowledge to the active intellect. The state of the human intellect at conjunction with the perfect source of knowledge.”

In the 12th century, Ibn Tufail demonstrated the theory of tabula rasa as a thought experiment. He depicted the development of the mind of a feral child from a tabula rasa to that of an adult, in complete isolation from society, on a desert island through experience alone.

The translation of his novel entitled Philosophus Autodidactus, published in 1671, had an influence on John Locke’s formulation of tabula rasa in An Essay concerning Human Understanding.

Tabula rasa is also featured in the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud. He depicted personality traits as being formed by family dynamics.

Freud’s theories imply that humans lack free will, but also that genetic influences on human personality are minimal. In psychoanalysis, one is largely determined by one’s upbringing.

Tabula rasa is also used by 18th century philosopher Jean-Jacque Rousseau in order to support his argument that warfare is an advent of society and agriculture, rather than something that occurs from the human state of nature.

Since tabula rasa states that humans are born with a “blank-slate” Rousseau uses this to suggest that humans must learn warfare.

The tabula rasa concept became popular in social sciences in the 20th century. The idea that genes (or simply “blood”) determined character took on racist overtones.

By the 1970 s, some scientists had come to see gender identity as socially constructed rather than rooted in genetics – a concept still current although strongly contested.

This swing of the pendulum accompanied suspicion of innate differences in general and a propensity to “manage” society, where the real power must be – if people are really born blank.

Is Grammar a Gordian knot?

Order is Heaven's First Law.
Order's first tool is Grammar.

Grammar is not just for languages.
Grammar is for everything in life.

There is grammar for music.
There is a grammar for sculpture.

There is a grammar for every
conceivable activity of mankind.

Gordian Knot was cut down.
It did not deserve the time,

That was needed to unravel it!
Is Grammar a Gordian knot too? :noidea:
 
Jargon and the Jungle.


These rules are so tough!
Who wants them anyway?
:nono:

Life will be so much easier
But for these rigid rules!
:hand:

Let us do away with those
Troublesome and tiring rules.
:ballchain:

Let us enjoy the Jargon
In the world called jungle! :blabla:
 
When you are right, you can afford to keep your temper.:)
When you are wrong, you can't afford to lose it.:eek:hwell:

A good heart is a letter of credit.
 
Lest you miss the posts on the Dosai mahimai, I am posting them here again from the thread Think or Blink!

நாம் அன்றாட உண்ணும் தோசையும் அதன் பின்னால் இருக்கும் ஆன்மிகமும்,ஜோதிடமும்...
தோசை செய்ய உபயோகிக்கும் பொருட்களுள் நவ கிரகங்கள் அடக்கம்.
*அக்னி = சூரியன்*
*அரிசி = சந்திரன்*
*உளுந்து = ராகு-கேது*
*வெந்தயம் = புதன்*
*தோசை கல் (இரும்பு) = சனி*
*தோசையின் நிறம் = செவ்வாய்*

அதை உண்பவர்கள் *குரு (ஆண்)*
*சுக்கிரன் (பெண்)*

இதன் உருவம் (Galaxy) பிரபஞ்சமே
தோசையை Clock vice சுட்டால் தான் வரும்,
பிரபஞ்சம் சுற்றுவதும்
அப்படித்தானே

இந்த தோசையை ஒரு ஜோதிட பரிகாரமாக இருந்திருக்க வேண்டும் ஏன் நிச்சயம் இருந்திருக்க வேண்டும்
ஆரம்ப காலத்தில் விஷேச நாட்களில் தோசையை தெய்வத்திற்கு படையலாக படைத்தது பின் உண்டுவந்தர்கள்
ஏன் இன்றும் பெருமாளுக்கு தோசையை படையலாக படைத்தது பிரசாதமாக கோவில்
வழங்குகிறார்.

அப்போது இருந்த நம் முன்னோர்களுக்கு தோசை பலகார வகையாகத்தான் இருந்தது.
பின் நாளில் மக்களுக்கு வசதி வந்த பிறகு அன்றாட உணவு வகையாக மாறிவிட்டது.
தோசை இந்தச் சொல் எப்படி வந்தது என்பதற்கு மொழிஞாயிறு தேவநேயப் பாவாணர்,
( கல்லில் ) தோய்த்துச் செய்வது
என்னும் பொருளில்

*தோய் + செய் என்னும் சொற்கள் இணைந்து உருவான இச்சொல்,*
மக்கள் வழக்கில் தோசை என்று ஆனது என்ற குறிப்பு உண்டு

ரகுராம் ராஜனின் தோசை பிலோஸோபி என்னவோ தெரியவில்லை.
சகோதரன் கேசவனின் தோசை பிலோஸோபி நன்றாகப் புரிகின்றது!


வெந்த வெறும் வெள்ளை தோசைக்குப்
பின்னால் நவகிரஹங்கள்...
பஞ்ச பூதங்கள்... அனைத்து பிராணிகள்.... அப்பப்பா என்ன மஹிமை!

தோசையின் பெயர்க்காரணம் ( என் ஐன்ஸ்டீன் மாமா கண்டு பிடித்தது )
இரண்டு முறை (ஹிந்தியில் 'தோ' ) 'சொய்' என்று சப்தம் செய்கிறதாம்!

இந்தக் காலத்திலும் outlaws ஆகிய in laws களுக்கு அரிசிமாவு தோசை கிடைக்காது!

இந்தக் காலத்திலும் தோசை பிரியர்கள் குழந்தைகளுக்குத் தோசை கிடைக்காது!


வலது கைப் பழக்கம் இருந்தால் clockwise movements இன்றியமையாதது.
இடக்கை பழக்கம் இருந்தால் anticlockwise movement இன்றியமையாதது!

இருந்த இடத்திலிருந்து கொண்டே தோசைகளைக் க
க்குப் பண்ணும் எமகாதகி மாமியாருக்கு அஞ்சி, வேகாத மாவு தோசைகளை (அவை சத்தம் செய்யும் முன்பே) வாயில் சுருட்டிப் போட்டுக் கொண்டு புரை ஏறின மருமகள் இருந்தது அந்தக் காலம்!

முதல் தோசை (அநேகமாகக் கிண்டி இருக்கும் என்பதாலும்) கடைசி தோசை (கல், மண் துகள்கள் இருக்காலாம் என்பதாலும்) வீட்டில் உள்ள ஆண்களுக்குக் கொடுப்பதில்லை.

இப்படி அந்தக் காலத்துப்பெண்களுக்கு இரண்டு தோசைகள் கிடைப்பது உறுதி ஆனது! :thumb:

The post about Dosa has appeared here, GOK who was the original writer, way back on May 28, 2017!

Dosa.... South Indian Pancake - In Tamil - Gems from Social Media!!!!
Two more have posted in their blogs later and now posted in our forum by TNK, without giving source!! :faint:

Dear Raji,
I only said it was posted by Mr. TNK.

May be he should have given the source also... since very few people here can type such long posts in Tamil without committing any mistakes!

But people like me may never get to read such posts unless hey appear in one of the threads here.

As far as my reply is concerned I can assure you that it is prepared, typed and posted by yours truly!
 

Some more Spiritual Equations:

Facing situations = Life.

Concentration = Inspiration + Interest.

BrAhmaneeyam = Simple living + High thinking.

Bhakthi = Unconditional, single minded and intense love for God.

Universe = Cosmic projection of God's glory.
 
WHY money isn't everything in the world ????

Money can buy a bed, but it not sleep.

Money can buy the books, but not the brain to understand them.

Money can buy food, but not the appetite to eat them.

Money can buy medicines, but not a good health.
 
Have you ever wondered how someone who is 'outstanding'
is so different from someone who is always 'standing out'?

Have you ever pondered how an 'outgoing' person is so different
from one who 'goes out' quite a lot but is not 'outgoing'???

Dear Sis,

I sought the help of my music student Smt. Uma, who is well versed in Sanskrit

and she gave me this reply:

The book she referred to has this as: ''
ப2டுச் ச2மித பாபௌ கா4ய நமஹ''

''I praise the One who is efficient in consuming and is a destroyer of evils / evil doers.''

She also told me that ''
சாதித'' means 'covering'. Hope this helps.

My dear Raji,
I knew with all my heart Lord Murugan will not let me down! :hail:
So He has helped through Smt. Uma the mother of Swaminathan - another name for Murugan! :hail:
I still have one more doubt.
Is the second word ச2மித or ''சாதித''??? :confused:
Please pass on my gratitude and thanks to Smt. Uma.
 
A Sheep and a goat!

How does a sheep differ from a goat?

When one person differs from the rest of the group

he is labeled as A Black Sheep!

When one person is "selected" to take the entire blame of

the combined action of many persons he is made

A Scape goat!!
 
Possessing something is different from enjoying it.

An lucky person may possess a thing but he may be

unlucky enough not to enjoy it.

An unlucky man may not possess something but

he may be lucky enough to enjoy it.

That is why "There is many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip!"
 
My father used to say this often...

A doctor SHOULD NOT take long leave...:nono:

IF HE DOES, then the patients will realize that

they become alright even without the doctor's tretment.

I think a writer should not take too many days off...:nono:

the people will forget him sooner than the time

it tAKES TO SAY, "DROP YOUR HAT!" :pout:
