n and m are intersubstitutable in our area for vargantyaksharas ta-tha-da-dha-na and pa-pha-ba-bha-ma. In previous centuries, we used to follow the distinction of 'n' for 'ta' vargam and 'm' for pa vargam. In our mother tongue Telugu, while writing words like 'bandham' 'grantham' , pandits have started using '0' (Telugu letter) for 'nta' 'nda' 'ndha' npa' 'npha' 'mta' 'mda' and 'mpa' 'mpha' 'mbha' etc. I find in many Hindi books also, while using Devanagari, they are now-a-days employing '.' above the horizontal line over the head of the letters to indicate 'nt' 'nd' 'nth' 'ndh' 'mp' 'mph' etc.

You will note that I have used 'gramdha' and not 'gramda'; i.e. I have not dispensed with the aspirate 'h'.

I hope you will condone the regional variations. E.g. you may call Paschima Banga or Paschima Bonga; parivartan, paribartan, paribortan, Ravindranath Tagore, Rabindranath Tagore etc. We use Ravindra, parivartan, Vanga dEsam etc. Another Example: Brinjal, call 'vanga kAya' in Telugu instead of 'banga kAya'. In the same way, Telugu 'pa' becomes 'ha' in Kannada language and Karnataka.

We got Sanskrit language Gods Visn and Lakme Mata, and some festivals from Norway, Sweden, Latvia and Lithuania. During the journey of thousands of kilometers, Sanskrit has undergone numerous changes and even reversal of roles. For example in Ahura Mazza(Mazda?) of Iran and Zorashtrianism, the word 'asura' became 'ahura'. Ahuras were good people in the Zorashtrian mythology, whereas in our literature 'asuras' were bad demons to be killed at sight.
Hence, please condone my lapses.

Thank U.

OLD SAXON ENGLISH, LATVIAN, LITHUANIAN, OLD PRUSSIAN SWEDISH AND SANSKRIT LANGUAGES HAVE A COMMON PAST

Sanskrit has Indo European origin. English, German, Latvian (Latgalian), Old Prussian too have an Indo European origin. Hence, they have several words in common. Over Centuries, pronunciation and spellings changed. When foreign words entered into English, some alien words took precedence over Indo European words because they had royal patronage. The knowledge of common vocabulary between Sanskrit and English can help us to understand Sanskrit literature better. Here is a list of such words. The list is not exhaustive. I shall add more, as soon as I am able to collect them. For some of the words, there may be only a remote relationship, still linking them will help to remember the meanings. Migrations seem to have taken place from lATvia/Lithuania to India and vice versa. It may be like alternative current, which flows in a circuit. Comments for this particular post, has thousands of Latvian words contributed by Shri lATvian. My immense thanks to him. Please study

#026 More about spread of Old Prussian-Latvian-Lithuanian to India

Sanskrit is a worship-language, basically. (Christian missionaries out of their misplaced cruel pride call it pagan worship), as if what is followed on Church pulpits, is not pagan. The concept of pagan itself is imaginary. Everything is pagan or EVERYTHING IS NOT PAGAN. We can't have some thing pagan and something superior. All India radio broadcasts everyday news in Sanskrit language, 5 minutes at a time. Click to go to http://www.newsonair.com/nsd_schedule.asp . This link contains radio daily news schedules of different Indian languages. You will find Sanskrit in the list, with 2 further links one for morning news and another for evening news.

30 Usage of rama and ramanti

30 Usage of rama and ramanti I am replying to a part of comment of comment by Shri Latvian. topics for discussion: rama-ramanti ... In latvian `rāms, rāma` doesn`t mean only calm, today maybe it seems to be that, but true vision we see, for example, in earlier latvian translations of the Bible, where `rāms, rāma` means more - to be connected, immerged into connection with God or virtues; this show many differencies beside usual secular life - rāms uz dusmām ( calm/inactive to anger) or `rāmis` (a frame (for example a frame of painting)) - word `rāms, rāma` show a process to curb or to moderate when some person is curbing himself, so `rāms, rāma` sense is wide in latvian language. ... REPLY FROM YBRAO A DONKEY Thanks for the excellent feedback. I nourish a belief that ancient Latvian literature and ancient Indian Sanskrit literature has some fraternal (brother - bhrAta) relationship, and according to history both were more ancient than Christianity and Bible. Hence, the Latvian wo
