Agape = Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, thoughtful love.  The term was used by the early Christians to refer to the special love for God and God's love for humanity, as well as the self-sacrificing love they believed all should have for each other.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agape\n\nMeaning of the name AGAPITO (which is the masculine of AgapitA)\nhttp://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Agapito\n\nhttp://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=agapito

South Asian countries-- i.e. Bngladesh, India, Pakistan -- uses it as a very mild curse word. Literal meaning is "younger brother of my wife" -- lol.\n\nLanguage can be Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, or one of many other languages.\n\n========================================================\nForget the prvious information (also true but out of context probably.\n========================================================\n\nIf you are referring to biblical characters, here are as a short list of prophets mentioned in Koran with the English equivalent of the names in the order of their appearance:\n\nNuh (Noah) نوح \nHud (Heber) هود \nSaleh (Shelah) صالح \nIbrahim (Abraham) ابراهيم \nLut (Lot) لوط \nIsmail (Ishmael) اسماعيل \nIshaq (Isaac) اسحاق \n\nLooks like Saleh in Koran is spelled Shelah in the bible.\n\nHope this helps.

'Shunya' in sanskrit is 'nothing' or 'hallow' and carries no value. The word was borrowed into early Indian mathematics by the great mathematician Aryabhatta, to represent something with no value ot nothing. The tourists & invadors of Indian subcontinent learnt and subsequently made it popular in other parts of the globe.

it's colloquial Hindi (NOT Hindu, that's a major RELIGION!) and as other posters have said, it means "It's OK"  or "OK" or "sure" or even "good".  Kinda depends on context, but "OK" is the closest equivalent in English.  Weird name for a house!

Hi there,\nTo answer your question, lets go step by step. First we will split the word: Mohnish= Mohan + Ish\nIn sanskrit "Ish" means god. And Mohan means "fascinating person". So Mohnish means god or the best of all fascinating  people. And yes, offcourse, Lord Krishna is the one.

karma is the Sanskrit word for "action". That's basically what it means. There are different types of karma. The karma of your actions, the karma of your thoughts, the karma of your past lives, and the karma of the society or group you live in (group karma). The Law of Karma basically says that whatever you do has an effect on others and ultimately has an effect on you because everything is ultimately connected together (sort of like the Law of Cause and Effect in science). Maya is a term that is used to represent the concept of illusion. Usually what it is refering to in Hindu scriptures in the illusion that we are seperate from everything. That the world of our senses, that this physical world where everything is constantly changing, is the "real" world. By real I mean that this is all there is. That's maya. The reality is that we are all one, we are all interconnected. That everything is a manifestation of God and thus retains it's divine spark and connection to God and everything else in the universe. It is maya to think that how we treat others or what we do to plants, animals, the planet, etc does not effect us. It does. Because we are all one, we are all connected. \n\nThat's karma and maya.\n\nHope that helped.

If you highly recommend it as a good translation of the Upanishad, I would gladly like to receive it. You needn't give it to me for free, I will gladly pay you for it and the shipping. The only version of the Upanishads I have is not very good at all. It only has five of the Upanishads in it and most of the book is "Translator's Commentary". The book was translated by a Christian missionary so the version tends to use Christian terminology (and the Translator's Commentary, which takes up half of the book, is full of "how the Upanishads compare to the Bible"). Its an awful translation! :(  I probably should have known better since the first version of the Bhagavad Gita that I bought was from the same company and it failed to translate a great deal of the Sanskrit (so in the middle of sentences would be Sanskrit phrases, but then no translation of what it meant). Thankfully the head organizers of the satsang I attended got together and got me a copy of the version they use (which is the one that was translated by Christopher Isherwood & Swami Prabhavananda). It's a very good version that I am so thankful to be able to read. That said, if your Upanishads was translated by Swami Prabhavananda then I have great hopes that the translation does a great deal of justice to the Upanishads and well worth the read. \n\nI don't feel comfortable posting my address, etc, here, but you can contact me for that (just click 'contact gabriel_zachary). I do live in the US (Oklahoma). I hope you find a good home for the book (even if not with me...afterall if God intends for me to have it, then it'll be, if not then atleast I now have heard of the book and if you give me your recommendation of it being a good book, then I won't hesitate to buy it at a later date)\n\nPeace be with you,\n\nNate

Karma...it is a Sanskrit word that means "action".\n\nYour actions, physical and mental, produce karma. Karma is natural. It is not regulated by gods or judges, etc. Karma exists within the entire universe. Drop a rock in a river and you will see it sink to the bottom, you will see ripples on the water. This is karma. Being in the water, the water will undoubtably move the rock. This is karma.\n\nWhat you do, what you think, all these actions are karma. Actions lead to actions which lead to actions, etc.\n\nNow I know I've been told that that sounds like you never get out of the loop and that you must reincarnate because you'll always have karma...but actually what causes reincarnation is unfinished karma still attached to us. So one path in Hinduism, called Karma Yoga, teaches us to renounce our attachments to our actions. In essence, to act but without expecting anything in return.

Ancient Greek for 'love'.  However, ancient Greek distinguishes clearly between 'agape', or 'caring concern love' from 'eros' or sexual love.\n\n(Not to be confused with modern Greek where 's'agapao' means 'I love you' in terms of romantic/sexual terms.)

Well, I too had heard about this study around 3 years ago. It said that Ancient Greek and Sanskrit can be used more efficiently as programming languages for computer. For Sanskrit, the reason is that Sanskrit is a language where the position of a particular word in the sentence does not generally change the meaning of the sentence. Strange but true. Happy to know someone else also know it. Merry Christmas!\n\n--------------------------------------\n\nHi Belle, First of all, I should complement you for asking interesting questions. You should now start selecting the best answers amongst the people who have answered you. Merry Christmas!
