I complain.
And what I dislike.. quite passionately.. are people who do not know how to speak.
I'm not being a language/grammar nazi here. No.
What I'm talking about is manners. Be it with friends or foe.
Don't assume that another's principles is just the same as your own.
Don't assume I'm the type to conform to the mainstream ideals.
Pisses me off.
Now that that's over with...
I wanna learn how to write Sanskrit.
I feel a certain connection with the mantras.
Particularly those that have 'Shanthi' in it.. which means 'peace'.
I decided to research on the lyrics in the song Navras by Juno Reactor and Don Davis.
Turns out it's from a mantra...
असतोमा सद्गमय। तमसोमा ज्योतिर् गमया।
मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय॥
Which is apparently pronounced as..
Asato mā sad gamaya
Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya
Mṛtyormā amṛtam gamaya
Aum śānti śānti śāntiḥ
Which means...
From ignorance, lead me to truth;
From darkness, lead me to light;
From death, lead me to immortality
Aum peace, peace, peace
From Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 1.3.28
(I'm copying from Wikipedia here.. not 100% reliable but undeniably the fastest)
Meh.. I wonder if it is okay to chant that without believing in the religion. XD
Totally loving Genius Party and Genius Party Beyond.. the anime.
Really good.
