Just before going to “List of English words of Sanskrit origin – Part 1 of Part 7 | English words originated (derived) from Sanskrit | List of English words taken from Sanskrit | List of English corrupted words taken from Sanskrit“, let us know a brief, basic and very important information.

Have you ever given a thought about how the Indian cities names like Bendakaluru became Bangalore (now called Bengaluru), Mumbai became Bombay, Oodakamandalam became Ooty, Visakapatnam (Vishakhapatnam) became Vizag, Thiruvanantapuram became Trivandrum, etc.?

This is purely because, people from Europe and other parts of world can’t pronounce these Sanskrit words easily. So they pronounce as per their own capability.

Let us understand that now:

Please note that Sanskrit is not the right of way of pronouncing the word Sanskrit. The correct spelling of the Sanskrit word in Sanskrit is ‘संस्कृतं‘ or ‘संस्कृत‘ (‘Samskrutam‘ or Samskruta‘ or ‘Samskrut‘).

Since long time I have been witnessing that our great language Sanskrit have been used by other languages around the world. Some languages have been using the Sanskrit language directly and some languages have been using the Sanskrit language indirectly.

Like most of the European languages (this also includes languages used in North America, South America, Australia, Africa, etc.) have been using the Sanskrit language directly or indirectly. The only little difference in those languages is the mode of pronunciation. All the words around the world including English are Sanskrit words.

And more importantly, since it is very long time they have been using the Sanskrit language, there are few words – Which are very much similar to the words they use and also there are some words which are similar, but little difference because of the evolution of the pronunciation.

Also many Asian languages have taken Sanskrit language directly and also been using it indirectly. I want the world to know about the greatness of India (Bharata / Bharat) and it’s Sanskrit language, culture etc.

In this regard I have made lot of research since past 2+ decades now, and found out many words are from the greatest language of the world, that is, Sanskrit.

This program has been taken up only to showcase the greatness of India (Bharata / Bharat) and its language Sanskrit. And not to insult or defame any other language(s) and definitely not to hurt the sentiments of anybody.

[We all know Europeans cannot spell Sanskrit words easily. They can’t speak the tongue twister words easily].

Cereal : In earlier days if in any house adequate amount of cereals (dhaanya) is kept means, then in that house Lakshmi Devi will be present. One of the names of Lakshmi Devi is Siri Devi. Now look more closely the Sanskrit word Siri is very closely associated with the English word Cereal. The original word for cereal is Siridhanya.

Rhythm : Rhythm is originated from the Sanskrit word Vruttham (Vrittham). Province : In English province means a place, may be a tourist place. In Sanskrit Pravashya or in simple words pravasi means a tourist, who want to visit some place or some province.

M’ru : This is the Egyptian name for pyramid. Many of us know the great mountain Meru in our Sanatana Dharma word. Egyptians were building pyramids in comparison with the Mount Meru. Egyptian’s M’ru is taken from the Sanskrit word Meru parvat.

Moshe and Moses : The Egyptian name Moshe and the Christian name Moses are originally from Sanskrit name Mahesha (Mahesha). Sahara desert : Many of us know Sahara is the biggest desert in the world and is in northern Africa. In deserted parts of India, there is a tribe known as ‘Sahariya‘ in Rajasthan. ‘Sahara’ is derived from the Indian word ‘Sahariya’.

Ram-ses : This is an Egyptian word. Ram-ses is the title given to Egyptian kings. Even in India, a King is known as ‘Isha‘ (Isha / Eesha also the name of our Hindu gods like Ramesha, Umesha, Ganesha, etc.).

Isha means who has control over something or someone. A King should have the control over his place and people. Here we can clearly see the Egyptian Kings’ name as Ram-ses, which has originated from Sanskrit name ‘Ramesha‘ or ‘Ramesh‘.

Maturai : It was a place where Joseph and Mary took Jesus to keep Herod from killing Jesus. Many of us know the great city in India called as Mathura. Nile : This is a river name. In Sanskrit the color blue is known as Neela / Nila. River water when seen from upper view the color will be blue.

I have discovered a big secret with the comparison of our Sanatana Dharma and corresponding religion of Egypt.

Please compare the Tilaka (naama) of Sri Jagannath (other name of Sri Krishna as recognized in Puri, Orissa, India) or any Indian Sri Vishnu’s naama (like Tirupati’s Sri Venkatesha / Sri Srinivasa etc.) Now compare (See on the head) with these with Egypt’s Goddess Isis.

Primitive : In Sanskrit Pratamam (means first or early period), Prachinam (means very old or early period), Pouranikam (also means very old, very early time). All these Sanskrit words are very near to the English word Primitive and also very similar in pronunciation.
