Re: SANSKRIT NAMES FOR NEIVEDHYAM ITEMS

Dear all,

While this list may not be very exhaustive, it certainly covers most of the items offered as naivedyam as part of our propitiation process or rituals. However, as a past student of Sanskrit, I find that some of the names given are not with the right consonants or stress as part of Sanskrit. While we South Indians take liberties in the way the actual words/phrases are uttered, it is pertinent for people who can pronounce it correctly as dictated by the rules/diction of Sanskrit...

For example the translation for 'idli' cannot be 'laDDukam' which actually means 'laddoos' (the sweet ones that we eat..). If given permission by the forum and this editor allows me to paste multilingual phrases, I can try attempting the corrections.

That said, my sincere thanks to Mr. Gopalan for coming up with this very important facet of the rituals. Does God need Sanskrit? That is a different topic, but whatever one prefers to do, I wish we all pay due respects to the language behind it. Secondly, it is also encouraging for us Brahmins to rejuvenate the use of Sanskrit which is what we used to speak way back...

For example taking Mr. Gopalan's work:
English संस्कृतम् தமிழ்
1. Black gram vadai -> माषापूपम् -> உளுந்து வடை

etc
I can also help build these structures in other South Indian languages (Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam) if need be :-). Please let me know...

हरि ॐ तत् सत् ! ॐ नमः शिवाय!
With respects to one and all...
Venky
