Guru Gita notes
Interesting links for the Guru Gita are given on the main
page. From those I use (mostly) 3 texts:
-
Video from Muktananda is roughly the same as
ShantiMayi's
sangha is using;
-
Sanskrit & Trika Shaivism rather word to word translation, with
Devanagari letters, uses the same Sanskrit text;
-
Hardlight a course with much help with pronunciation, also
Devanagari letters, beautiful translations, their text
contains less verses, and in different order. in the texts
their verse number is given next to ours, an X indicates they do
not use this verse.
My specialty will be to give a broad translation for each word,
in order to give (mostly) myself and (I hope) others more
innerstanding in the spread of meaning of the Sanskrit words.
I will be using different sources, see Citation policy.
See also some Notes
on pronounciation.
The english translation wil
be kept as the sangha is using, I will also make myself a dutch
translation, there I will take
more liberties.
I will also refer each word back to all places it appears in
the Guru Gita (and of course in the other mantras on the site).
When a word occurs in many verses, reference is given to this page
only.
This work is for me a great pleasure. I first encountered the
Guru Gita during my stay with my Guru
Shantimayi in
Rishikesh in february 2018, started this in june of the same year,
and I guess it will occupy me for the coming 3 or 4 years, at
least.
And inbetween I occupy myself with learning Sanskrit.
With the pictures below, and below the main
page and the overview I give you some words I have most
recently worked with. |
