Concept sought

[Guest guest]

I was reading an article in a magazine about an Indian 'saint' living

in Europe. It included an Indian word to describe the healing nature of

her face, image and presence. 'Saint or not, that is a useful healing

concept,' I thought, not that it was new to me, of course, but the

distillation of a concept into a single word definitely seems to

empower it in our consciousness, altering the concept, in effect -

which is why I put 'concept' rather than 'word' in my head. Obviously

we believe that we will remember a word that we feel we and others have

been lacking over the years, but the fact is, without regular

employment, even the best of our vocabulary withers. Can anyone please

remind me of the word I seek?

 

Namaskar
