Sanskrit

I liked this line from an article about Vedic Philosophy & Tesla:

There are words in Sanskrit that describe concepts totally foreign to the western mind. Single words may require a full paragraph for translation into english.

It makes me want to make up a word, but I can't think of any at the moment . . .

Hi, thanks for this link. Are you a student of Sanskrit?

Anyway, here are three words that would require a paragraph:

Dharma, Prana, Yoga(!)

Also, if you are interested, here's an intetesting related link:

No, I don't know anything about Sanskrit -- a friend and I were reading and talking about Tesla, and he ran across that article. But yes, I do find it interesting! Thank you for the link! :)
 

 

The Buddhist concept of dukkha would maybe need pages to be understood! (Or is that term in pali?)
