Greetings! I live in Boston, USA and Im VERY INTERESTED in getting 2 sanscrit tattoos of the words NIRVANA and VIDYA/VEDA (i know both are knowledge, but whats the difference?).
DO you know how these 2 would look in SANSKRIT? and do you know of a good place in the US???

THank you very much!!!!!

Nirvana is a neutral word, so it will be nirvaaNam in Sanskrit.

Vidya (Vidyaa, long a , a feminine word) means knowledge. Veda is the name of the old scriptures. Also Veda has the verbal root "vid" which means to know.
That is vid in the second conjugation. "He knows" is in Sanskrit "vetti". But there is also a vid in the fourth conjugation. In this conjugation vid means "to be, to be present, to exist" He is = vidyate. There is also vid in the sixth conjugation. In this conjugation vid means "to find", he finds = vindati.
So the vedas are "sacchidaananda" (sat-chit-aananda)
All the three words has a corresponding verbal root of vid.
sat = vid 6th conjugation, vidyate. Sat is to be. The supreme thruth, which always existed and will be existing in the future.
chid = consciousness, vid 2nd conjugation, vetti. Consciousness is knowing.
Ananda = happiness, bliss. vid 4th conjugation, vindati. searching and finding happiness.

I will give Nirvana, vidya, veda (singular and plural) in Devanagari scripts along with Roman Transcription.

Thank you soo much for your answer! it helped a lot!
peace to you !

If you guys do translations for fun, I have one for you, for the same purpose. I want a tattoo of it.

It's Gandhi's most powerful quote, shortened just a bit --

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

I have a picture of it from Gandhi's official E-Archive, because they are selling a t-shirt with the English and Sanskrit on it. But the English obscures the Sanskrit just a bit.

Anyway, if you could give me a translation, I would be eternally grateful and could finally stop obsessing about it.

Om Namah Shivaya
-thanks

You could give me the translation "Be the change you want to see in the world."
Thank you soo much

hay peeps! how is everyone? i was just wondering and hopein' that someone could give me the translation of "King of Kings" and "Carpe Diem" in sanskrit. I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks! xoxo

Hi All I Am A Newcomer To This Site And Am Looking For A Site I Used Years Ago And Cannot Now Find

You Could Type In A Word Or Name And The Site Would Draw It In Sanskrit

Can Anyone Help???

I am also looking for a sanskrit translation of "be the change you want to see in the world". I want to get a tattoo. Anyone have any suggestions?

NIRVANA and VIDYA
निर्वाण विद्या

Here is the translation of Gandhi's quote "Be the change you want to see in the world."
The translation is:-
"yat parivartanam tvam samsare drashtum ichchasi
tat parivartanam bhava"

Note:- The subject in the quote is you. I have assumed it is single "you".

Would anyone have the translation to this phrase in Sanskrit? I am very much wanting a tattoo with this script.

"BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD"

or

"BE THE CHANGE"

Thank you so much for any help you can give!

Hi,

I wanted to know how the words 'perseverance' (=persistence in spite of difficulties), and 'adversity' translate into sanskrit.

I'm looking to get a tattoo done of the words, so if you could provide the authentic symbols/script it would be very helpful. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Everyone,

You can likely get a copy of what you want and bring it to any tattoo artist. They will be able to do it in that fashion. what would you like?
