Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 When I first made the program, I put the yoga names into English, so Hamsa Yoga became "Great character", instead of just "Swan" (Hamsa), which is what it really means, as in "Parama Hamsa" (Great Swan) (Because Swans are said to be able to extract milk even when it's mixed with water, or in other words, they can extract the essential from anything, meaning, very smart, meaning, special teacher-this is the complexity and completeness of knowing Sanskrit which I have a lot of familiarity with because of the types of Gurus I had, which focused on this ancient Vedic conceptualization very much) So yes, I can translate things. But the core buyer base of my program, the Indians and American Yogis, all immediately rebelled saying they wanted it in Sanskrit...because there is an almost fanatical attachment to the purity of it amongst persons following all Hindu Branches. Translation seems to them, heretical sortof, just as Mel Gibson has his OWN church on his OWN property and has his OWN priest say mass in Latin there...if you can believe that. My personal mood is yes, to bring it to the West. My hunt for love, wife, has sidetracked my brain for a very long time, and still does quite honestly. The sadness in me this has generated is still highly debilitating. Please don't judge me. Me without love is like a snail with a shell in a world of snail poison. I just am different than most. This is really affecting me. But it is my goal to bring this bird to the west for the benefit of the west which used to have such gifts. In fact, I have good mind to tak the whole thing, put it fully in English, and call it Celtic Astrology, bam, no apologies, "just do it". Even rename the Nakshatras, EVERYTHING...make it fully westernized, except link it to an ancient white culture that believed in reincarnation and so on, so that the concepts of the whole thing could continue on with it. After all, my main purpose with my life has been to bring light and peace to the world that needs it, which is the west moreso, or at least because I'm white I do want to work here, bring it here. As far as I'm concerned, Indians have MUCH greater access to information than whites do, who have only this STUPID bible thing. (Sorry, I really don't like the Judeo Christian thing at all myself). So this is where it stands. I'm with you, and yet, by my business so far, my hands are bound. Saying "make it have a switch, a different version"....good ideas....again...you're talking to a current dead man who is trying to talk himself back into action ON THIS VERY DAY like every other day. And the potential "wives" keep writing, keep putting me down, though wanting me, telling me standard crap that doesn't apply to me, making me very sad, pitting my brains and intelligence against receiving their love...so the obvious choice is I stay with my life work, intelligence, beliefs, etc., and don't get their love, and I haven't been able to talk myself into loving that which is not attractive to me as "wife", so I remain in limbo, limbo forever it seems...stuck....very stuck... Honest as usual. But today, today is special. For today I am trying to just move forward on work and forget this dating process, just forget woman, and just work. I am trying. I am broke, emotionally and financially. But I shall try. In the name of all the good that is jyotish and all the good that has been in my life, of all good attempts to spread goodness done by everyone, I shall try. Onward, and yes, Engle-ish, is a priority of mine, as is Celt=ish and Deucht-ish, Frank-ish, Hindi-ish, Gujarat-ish, etc-ish. Love-ish The Dude at the wheel of the software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
