Yajvanji, Namaskar.....
I have to confess something here. I hope I'm not wasting you're time. I think you may already know some things mentioned below. I took Samskrutham in my 8th standard, when I was given a choice to take a language, because I always wanted to know the vedas. But haven't got the ability to even make a proper sentence in samkrutham, till now. I can't even say, "My name is ......" in samskrutham. Recently, about 2 years ago, I came to know that even if 1 knew the language, that would not be enough to understand the scriptures. I was rather disappointed for that moment. After a few days, my father brought a few cds and dvds authored by Bananje Govindacharya. Even though by birth and by choice, I follow advaitha, his dvaitha philosophies have fascinated me. In one of his cds he explains the above that one would not be able to understand the texts with the language alone. In other or same cd he also explained that every name in the universe, every sound, every shabda, especially those in vedas refer to God. I even came to know that to be true from the Mantra Pushpam. In another context he explained the name Gopala. He referred to 'go' or cow from the name and explained that 'go' and other times 'pashu' actually meant vedas or knowledge and pala to be caretaker or owner or even father or even embodiment. Gopala thus is the synonym of Vedathma, Vedaguru, Guru, Brah_ma, etc. I'm a devotee of Shiva, spontaneously, I don't know how, the word 'Pashupathi' flashed in my brain. I could derieve about 10 meanings in 2 seconds for that name, Pahupathi is actually another synonym of Gopala, Pashu, meaning Vedas again, and Pathi giving the meaning of the latter half. Pashupathi also means the remover of ignorance, isn't that Nataraja? Manah sometimes behaves like a Pashu or animal, who controls our thoughts, who controls this pashu(thought), isn't it God. After that Manjunatha flashed before my eyes as soon as I came to know the meaning of 'Nara'(amrutha or moksha) in Narayana. Manju in manjunatha actually refers to that ice that cools us from the fire of ignorance of Maya. It also refers to God as, 'Person(not literally) who removes the ignorance' and also 'Person(not literally) who carries us from this domain to the domain of Moksham'. I could recently tell the meaning of Bhoothanatha. All of this has still surprised me. I, a boy who can't even make a sentence in Samkrutham is getting the inner meanings of Samskrutha Shabda sagara. How could this have been possible? I have no explanation, I'm not a scholar, I'm an ignoramus, I'm a person surrounded by ego, jealousy, tamas and rajas, I've not even gone through the scriptures, I don't know the Geeta, Puranas, Vedas, Itihasas. I don't even know what I know
! Probably all I know is nothing
. You are 100% correct Yajvanji when you said, Vedic Sanskrith is different from the usual one. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT ONE.
