Thanks, those last two inserted lines are also the kind of culture that dictators and autocrats would use to get away with all kinds of ruthless crime and abuse. Means to ends. It also explains a lot about the nature of the TM movement culture in context. I too am thinking this showed up later in the 1970's. I don't remember it before then. Bevan, Neil Patterson and the Wilsons displaced and took over the reins from elders of the kinder-more-gentler old movement around then and this version of Saha nav recited even by real TB'ers today makes for a clear way of dealing with communication that is not essentially 'top-down'. It is risky any other direction than top-down. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" wrote: > > > > > > > > Om, you Sanskrit scholars here, > > > > did this get transliterated right? > > > > Thanks in advance, > > > > -Buck > > > > > > > > Saha Nav Avatu > > > > Saha Nav Bhunaktu > > > > Saha Viryam Narava Yanhai > > > > Tejasvi Na Vadhitam A Stu > > > > Ma Vidisavahai > > > > > > > > > > Sanskrit scholars here, > > > what does this prayer translate to? > > > Anybody know? > > > > > > > The translation that the TM movement recites > > is a couple of lines longer than the stanza has. > > The two added lines don't seem to go with the stanza. > > When did this come about and first come to be used? > > I have in front of me someone's hand written > > note card with this that references 1/8/81 > > MIU 2nd Christmas WPA > > >
