GUILT: Serious and experienced posters ONLY!

There is a concept of guilt in many old religions, it sure is in

Christianity and Judaism.

 

But a scholar way back when I was barely out of teenage emphatically

stated something that stays with me even today, so I ask this august

assembly of hindu and other scholars.

 

He claimed that there is no specific word for GUILT in hindi or

sanskrit or other indo-sanskrit derived languages. Is this true? In

none of the north, south, east or west indian languages, there is no

specific word for the globally-pervasive concept of GUILT, cashed in

almost nightly by priests and stand-up-comedians daily? Or maybe

nightly I should say to be accurate.

 

Was he wrong? Is there a word that describes the feeling of 'GUILT' in

indian culture (and I am really going broad there, I realize).

Dear Ranjan ji

 

In our day to day life, certainly the word "guilt" exists; and in strict religious terms (like I follow Jainism) - there are karmic / religious pursuits, if the "sakshi maan" feels about it. But in connonation, I am searching for the exact word defining it. Closest word I could think of - "dosha" felt at sub conscious level (saksh maan).

If at first, the idea is not absurd, there is no hope for it.

Dear RRji,

Do you think aatmaglaani or apraadhabodha is guilt?

Regards,

Divya

Is not apradh bodh is more on physical level; and guilt is more on sub conscious level (which "sakshi man" feels).

Yes, could be. I am still searching for the word to connote the karmic binding from such a feeling.

 

Please call me by Prafulla.

sakshi would mean witness, or the observer. But what is the word for

guilt?

I thought about that too, particularly atmaglani -- and it is

sometimes used in that connotation but really glani is closer to

sadness and despair than guilt. Apradh-bodh has more to do with the

sense of morality (morally right or morally wrong). Workable but not

quite as specific and direct as guilt.

I meant the word "dosh" at "sakshi man".

Half slept mail notes from me ..it seems yesterday.

 

What I meant that - if there is dosha (sin at sakshi man bhava) - then this is the sakshi man got to go through the feelings - is guilt. Karmic binding and such guilt both can precede each other, depending upon the type of karmas.

Did you mean:

 

Aparadhibhav?

 

hmmm!

 

I hope you see the difference! Now we are talking about the

individual -- where guilt exists! Even though it comes from a

societal, cohort conditioning!
