Exciting - @ndy - 01-25-2011

One of the wired things about life here is when we sometimes get a blast of the more.

At Yoga tonight the teacher was telling us about Sanskrit.
I'm not well read at all, but have always loved the pome salutation of the dawn I found in a head shop as a teenager. It helped me threw the harder points of growing up. It was only last year I found out it was Sanskrit.

Then my dreams often throw in Sanskrit and Hindu words that in all honesty mean nothing to me till I look them up - then the dream meaning expands.

Tonight we meditated on the word Shanti...... Oh how my tears flowed.

I find it so exciting to know deep inside me is the knowledge of all that is and all that we are and have been Smile

I feel so lucky to be able to experience the discovery of life, there is so much I want to learn Smile

Yeah, words can definitely have a lot of power. I was talking to a friend today about how his life was going. He had some passion with his words, and I could feel his words rocking and rippling the Field. Hadn't quite had a steady stream of ripples like that before.

I actually didn't realize the specific power of certain words like Shanti. It was great to read your experience with this. One of my favorite Enigma songs is "The Child in Us". The words are Sanskrit.

I recommend this song and video if you want to hear Sanskrit and Latin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuUPzxRsgLc

Great song GW, Enigma is great . I love this one:
Return to Innocence

Sanskrit is a very beautiful language @ndy. Ra spoke of it as a "light language" I think. This is the invocation we do at my yoga classes


The Anusara Invocation:

Om Namah Shivaya Gurave
Saccidananda Murtaye
Nischprapanchaya Shantaya
Niralambaya Tejase


I bow to the goodness within myself, known as Lord Shiva, who is the true teacher.
This essence inside takes the form of truth, consciousness, and bliss
Always present and full of peace,
this essence inside is completely free, and sparkles with a divine luster.

Namaste

The CD of Deva Premal singing the Gayatri Mantra is awesome and beautiful. Ghandi used to chant this every morning (like many millions of other Indians, I suppose).

tát savitúr váreṇyaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt

"We meditate on the glory of that Being who has produced this universe; may He enlighten our minds." (Vivekanada translation)

Om namo bhagavate vasudevaya

A very powerful devotion to Krisna, the oversoul of all souls, essentially the highest being of Hindu, the cause of all causes, the son of the all pervading godhead the original thought.

Thanks for sharing the links all Smile

Sanskrit dose seem to speak to the soul. The yoga teacher was explaining about the vibration of the words wich I understood with the more obvious ones - I didn't realise it was the whole launguage till yesterday BigSmile I look forward to learning more about it.
