Interesting because sometimes "Trai" is translated as "that which takes

away" and sometimes as "a process". There are not exact translations for

Sanskrit and we really shouldn't think like that.

 

 

 

Dear Mahamuni ~ this is so true, with many languages that are still

existant, but considered "ancient" or "primal." The meaning occurs within the

context

in which it occurs and can change according to context. Instead of finding

this confusing, as an artist and poet, I find it delightful. How many names do

the Eskimos have for "snow." Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda
