Sanskrit Dictionaries Online

[Guest guest]

Those interested in Sanskrit translations can try the links below.

You are also encouraged to do some self-study. If one is spoon-fed

or have it served up on a silver platter for instant access to

anything (especially the Divine), it actually slows one's spiritual

progress, rather than enhancing it.

 

To Nancy:

---------

Traditionally it is a known but largely unspoken rule of thumb that

when a person asks about mantras, yantras and Tantra and their

meanings in each respective case, sound, pronounciation, wording,

performing puja, etc.etc, etc, it is the duty of a genuine

practitioner to refer them back to the person's Guruji. It is

unethical and disrespectful to "interfere" or "give spiritual advice

and guidance" to another Guru's chela (student). Unless your own

Guruji gives permission or gives his blessings for you to seek

advice from another person, then its ok. Hope you understand

the "deep workings" of Classical Lineages.
