See how children in the K-2 kindergarten (4 years old!) chant Saha Nav Avatu at the MCEE Maharishi Centre for Educational Excellence in Lambakheda Bhopal India now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6cjZYTei3Y <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6cjZYTei3Y> MMY amusingly "with many blissful giggles "likes to describe it as: â various degrees of happiness enjoyed by the different beings in creationâ --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "raunchydog" <raunchydog@...> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "raunchydog" raunchydog@ wrote: > > > > Doug, this is the translation, as I remember it. It's not at all like anything, I've googled. For whatever reason, this is how Maharishi wanted us to understand the translation. IMO Maharishi's translation has less to do with the actual meaning of the Sanskrit words and more to do with the intention he wanted to convey on the feeling level of one's experience. > > > > Let us be together > > Let us eat together > > Let us be radiating the light of truth together > > Never shall we denounce anyone > > Never entertain negativity > > > > I found the correct translation of Saha Nav Avatu I tried to recall: > > Let us be together > Let us eat together > Let us be vital together > Let us be radiating truth, > radiating the light of life > never shall we denounce anyone > never entertain negativity. > > Saha nav avatu, Saha nau bhunaktu > Saha viryam karavavahai > Tejasvi nav adhitam astu, Ma vidvishavahai > > http://reniepraver.com/home/ > Other version to listen to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEbvC19vu5c <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEbvC19vu5c> Breathing instruction how to chant (remember the intimate connection between syllables.

For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. + Isaiah 35:8 <http://bible.cc/isaiah/35-8.htm> And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it The beginning of a life of Jesu discipleship (the gate) and the process of discipleship (the way) are both restrictive and both involve persecution.(!--so be nice to Buck ) Not sure is this a reference to his Dome -page-dilemma seeing -on the broad road to hell- different saints not choosing MMY" narrow road??"only or vice versa- tiresome [:D] John Oxenham wrote about that(in original old style)... âTo every man there openeth A way and ways and a way; And the high soul treads the high way, And the low soul gropes the low; And in between on the misty flats The rest drift to and fro; But to every man there openeth A high way and a low; And every man decideth The way his soul shall go.â anonym "What poor, despised company Of travelers are these, That walk in yonder narrow way, Along that rugged maze? Why, they are of a royal line, All children of a King: Heirs of immortal crowns divine, And loud for joy they sing. But some of them seem poor, distressed, And lacking daily bread: Ah! theyâre of wealth divine possessed With hidden manna fed. Why do they keep that narrow road, That rugged, thorny maze? Because that way their Leader trod They love and keep His ways. Why do they shun the pleasing path, The worldly love so well? Because it is the road to death The open Toad to hell. What! is there then no other road, To Canaanâs happy ground? Christ is the only way to God No other can be found." --whatever
