If you were to ask me which two languages of the world are most similar to each other, I would answer without any hesitation: “”. And not because some words in both these languages are similar, as is the case with many languages belonging to the same family. For example, common words can be found in Latin, German, Sanskrit, Persian and Indo-European languages. What is surprising is that our two languages have similar word structures, style and syntax. Let us add even greater similarity in the rules of grammar - this arouses deep curiosity among everyone who is familiar with linguistics, who wants to know more about the close ties established in the distant past between the peoples of the USSR and India.
Universal word
Let's take for example the most famous Russian word of our century, “sputnik”. It consists of three parts: a) “s” is a prefix, b) “put” is a root and c) “nik” is a suffix. The Russian word “put” is common to many other languages of the Indo-European family: path in English and “path” in Sanskrit. That's it. The similarity between Russian and Sanskrit goes further and is visible at all levels. The Sanskrit word "pathik" means "one who follows the path, a traveler."
The Russian language can form words such as "putik" and "traveler". The most interesting thing in the history of the word "sputnik" in Russian. The semantic meaning of these words in both languages is the same: “one who follows the path with someone.” I can only congratulate the Soviet people who chose such an international and universal word.
Here are some more examples from Sanskrit: उस्रि usri - morning; द्वार् dvār - door;उच्चता uccatā - height;भ्रातर् bhrātar - brother; दुरित durita- bad; वन्य vanya - wild, forest (similar to our name Vanya and Ivan tea); शुष्क śuṣka - dry, dried up (just like our drying); लघु laghu - light; बलाहक balāhaka - cloud, clouds; शिला śilā - rock; द्व dva - two, both; त्रि tri - Three; स्मि smi, smayate- laugh; प्लु plu, plavate - to swim; पी I pī, pīyate - to drink; श्वस् śvas, śvasiti - whistle; लुभ् lubh, lubhati - to love, to crave.
When I was in Moscow, at the hotel they gave me the keys to room 234 and said “dwesti tridtsat chetire.” In bewilderment, I could not understand whether I was standing in front of a nice girl in Moscow or whether I was in Benares or Ujjain in our classical period about 2000 years ago. In Sankrit 234 it will be “dwishata tridasha chatwari”. Is there a greater similarity possible anywhere? It is unlikely that there will be two more different languages that have preserved their ancient heritage - such close pronunciation - to this day.
I had the opportunity to visit the village of Kachalovo, about 25 km from Moscow, and was invited to dinner by a Russian peasant family. An elderly woman introduced me to the young couple, saying in Russian: “On my seen i opa toua. snokha."
How I wish that Panini**, the great Indian grammarian who lived about 2600 years ago, could be here with me and hear the language of his time, so wonderfully preserved with all the minutest subtleties! Russian word "seen" and "sooni" in Sanskrit. Also “madiy” - this “son” in Sanskrit can be compared with “tou” in Russian and “tu” in English. But only in Russian and Sanskrit "tou" and "madiy" should change into "toua" and "madiya", since we are talking about the word "snokha", which is feminine. The Russian word "snokha" is the Sanskrit "snukha", which can be pronounced the same way as in Russian. The relationship between a son and his son's wife is also described by similar words in the two languages.
Absolutely right
Here is another Russian expression: “That is your dom, etot our dom.” In Sanskrit: “Tat vas dham, etat nas dham.” "Tot" or "tat" is a singular demonstrative pronoun in both languages and refers to an object from the outside. The Sanskrit "dham" is the Russian "dom", perhaps due to the fact that Russian lacks the aspirated "h".
Young languages of the Indo-European group, such as English, French, German and even Hindi, which directly goes back to Sanskrit, must use the verb “is”, without which the above sentence cannot exist in any of these languages. Only Russian and Sanskrit do without the linking verb “is”, while remaining completely correct both grammatically and ideomatically. The word “is” itself is similar to “est” in Russian and “asti” in Sanskrit. And even more than that, the Russian “estestvo” and the Sanskrit “astitva” mean “existence” in both languages. Thus, it becomes clear that not only the syntax and word order are similar, but the very expressiveness and spirit are preserved in these languages in an unchanged original form.
To conclude the article, I will give a simple and very useful rule of Panini’s grammar to show how applicable it is in Russian word formation. Panini shows how six pronouns are converted into adverbs of time by simply adding “-da.” Only three of the six Sanskrit examples cited by Panini remain in modern Russian, but they follow this 2600-year-old rule. Here they are:
Sanskrit
pronouns
kim
tat
sarva
adverbs
kada
tada
sada
meaning
which one, which one
That
All
Russian
when
thenda
vsegda
The letter “g” in a Russian word usually denotes the joining into one whole of parts that previously existed separately. European and Indian languages do not have the same means of preserving ancient language systems as Russian does. It's time to step up the study of the two largest branches of the Indo-European family and open some dark chapters ancient history for the benefit of all peoples.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to ignore the fact that there are a huge number of identical words in Russian and Sanskrit (see examples below). It is also impossible not to notice the commonality of many words of other European languages with Sanskrit, which is the Protolanguage, the Progenitor of all Indo-European languages. This article is more related to the connection between Sanskrit and the Russian language, and this will be the main focus.
In fact, it is Vedic Sanskrit that is the native language of all Slavic peoples, and awareness of this fact is very important for the general spiritual and cultural orientation of modern people. The Slavic linguistic mentality is directly related to the Sanskrit language and has its genetic roots in it (SKS: Russian "KoreN" - from Sanskrit "KaraNa", i.e. reason, root basis).
The thinking basis of the Slavs is based on Sanskrit. SANSKRIT is our, so to speak, SANSKaRa, that is, something inherent in the deep subconscious of the Slavs. Sanskrit sanskara, that is, imprint/imprint, is indelible because it is at a subtler level than the physical body and mind/reason. Sometimes, in certain happy moments, when consciousness gains expansion and enlightenment, this can be felt to some extent clearly.
No matter how much time passes, no matter what processes take place in the lives of peoples, the living-as-life-itself connection between the European Slavic languages and Vedic Sanskrit does not erase, deteriorate or perish.
Recognizing this close connection between Sanskrit and Slavic languages (i.e. Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Czech, etc.) is not so difficult. The facts, as they say, are clear. Parallels (i.e. direct relationships) between words such as “jnana” and “knowledge”, “vidya” and “knowledge”, “dvara” and “door”, “mrityu” and “death”, “shveta” and "light", "jiva" and "living", etc. etc. - are obvious and indisputable.
Further, it should be noted that one of the primary points in the study of Sanskrit-Slavic kinship is that those Slavic words that are of Sanskrit origin play an extremely important, if not the most important, role even in the linguistic structure itself, that is, they express/name the main (mental and somatic) functions of human life. For example, everything that is in one way or another connected in the Russian language with knowledge or spiritual and ordinary vision has a root basis in Sanskrit: KNOW, KNOW, RECOGNIZE, RECOGNITION, VISION, SEE, FORESEE, DREAM, SEE, MIRROR, (lake - surface water on which the moon is visibly reflected), review, see clearly, contemplation, ghost, contempt, suspicion, review, READ, COUNT, STUDY, etc. Also, these languages have a lot of common names from the field of phenomena, elements and objects of nature (fire-agni, wind-vata, water-udaka, etc.).
As has already been noted several times, Russian people really speak Sanskrit, only a somewhat corrupted and distorted version of it. Even from a superficial point of view, the echo, or echo, of Sanskrit is very noticeable in the Russian language. If the connection between the Russian language and Sanskrit is subjected to a more thorough and attentive analysis, then it will be possible to discover many amazing things (SKS: Russian “thing” - Sanskrit “vishaya”) and make a lot of amazing discoveries (in terms of word creation). According to the observation of some experts, the Russian language is one of the closest of all European languages to the Sanskrit language. And, perhaps, the Russian language is really the most preserved (in relation to Sanskrit) of all European Slavic languages due to the fact that Russia is remote from all Western European states, and did not actively mix its language with the languages of its neighbors.
In India itself, Vedic Sanskrit (the language of the Rig-Veda) also underwent gradual changes due to influence from the languages of the Dravidian population.
In order to discover and trace the most secret and internal layers of Russian-Sanskrit language correspondences/analogs, you need to get serious research(this goes without saying), etc. etc., - but the most important thing, from our point of view, is to apply the method of Mystical-intuitive penetration everywhere and with maximum awareness (the so-called yoga-pratyaksha - penetration into figurative-sound vibrations-correspondences, bypassing literal interpretations ) into the very Essence (SKS: Russian "essence" - Sanskrit "sat") of the subject. Why is this special attention? Because the methods of formal linguistics alone (SKS: “lingua, lingua” - Sanskrit “lingam, i.e. sign (in this case - linguistic sign)”) will not get by here - this will be too little, and it will bring rather meager fruits. Linear-formal techniques are so-called. If “academic” comparative linguistics works here, it will only be at the initial stage, at the peripheral level. If we want to unearth a real treasure, we will have to dig to much deeper layers of language, which are in contact not so much with the surface consciousness, but with the subconscious, with what is hidden deep under the ground of words and concepts, under a pile of terms, epithets and definitions . The approach that is proposed here is certainly sensitive to literal interpretations of words-concepts and at the same time paradoxical in the sense that it sometimes goes far beyond literal parallels and correspondences, trying to penetrate through the surface layer of forms into the depths of the essential content; The verbal, phonetic area of application of words-concepts expressed through speech is also involved.
For example, when it is said that the Sanskrit-Russian words are “tama” and “darkness”, “divya” and “amazing”, “dasha” and “ten”, “sata” and “hundred”, “shloka” and “syllable”, slogan", "pada" and "heel" are the same root, then this does not raise any particular doubts or objections; You don’t have to be Professor of Comparative Linguistics Müller to see the direct similarities here. When we feel a fundamental relationship between some Russian and Sanskrit words-concepts, but do not have formal evidence of this (KINSHIP), then identifying and pointing out this KINSHIP seems quite difficult (and even more so, presenting the evidence base). Difficult, but not impossible, because, as we have already noted, contemplative abstraction and paradoxical logic are quite effective and proven tools with the help of which such incomprehensibly deep and intimate linguistic connections between Sanskrit and Russian words are revealed and demonstrated, which sometimes captivates spirit. (Let us also not forget about the danger of getting carried away by far-fetched and far-fetched parallels and correspondences, inventions and fantasies.)
The sage Socrates, Plato’s teacher, says in the book “The State, Chapter 1” -
"...you became so meek and stopped getting angry...".
What immediately catches your eye about this small, compact phrase?
Firstly, all its elements are of Sanskrit origin;
secondly, two words that convey certain psycho-states especially attract attention - the adjective “meek” and the verb “angry”. Do they have any connection with Sanskrit roots? Of course they do, and in order to identify it, we will carry out the following research comparisons.
Let's look at the word "angry" first.
Ozhegov’s dictionary gives the following synonyms for the word “get angry”: “to be angry, irritated with someone, to feel anger towards someone.”
Then, it is not difficult to realize that the root basis of the word “get angry” is “serdt/heart/heart”, that is, “get angry” - this means “to show a certain CARDIAL affect, a movement of the soul.” Heart is a Russian word, derived from the Sanskrit word “hridaya”, i.e. they have the same root - SRD-HRD. Also, the broad scope of the Sanskrit word hridaya - heart, includes such a concept as soul. And the heart, and the soul, and the mind/manas - all this is covered by the area of \u200b\u200bmeanings of the Sanskrit word "hridaya". This is directly related to the psyche and the processes occurring in it. Therefore, the origin of the Russian word “to get angry” (i.e. to show some kind of negative heartfelt affect) from the Sanskrit “hridaya-heart” is quite logical and reasonable.
But here one tricky question arises: why in the Russian language this word (“to be angry”) has a negative connotation, and quite pronounced (SKS: Russian “bright” - Sanskrit “arch (bright sun)”), whereas, according to idea, everything related to the heart should reflect the positive attractions of the soul and heart, such as love, sympathy, affection, passion, etc.?
The point here is that, as you know, from love to hate is one small step; insightful Hindu Brahmins almost always paired passionate affection (kama) with hatred and malice (krodha), that is, they showed that they are inseparable companions. Where there is kama, there is krodha, and where there is krodha (malice, anger), there must necessarily be kama (lust) nearby. In other words, in Hindu psychology, passionate love and anger-hatred are emotional correlates, complementary factors.
Then, since one of the synonyms of the word “to get angry” is the word “to be annoyed,” another characteristic parallel from the field of ancient Indian psychology immediately arises: the root of the word “to be annoyed” corresponds to the word “RAJAS”, i.e. guna (in the Samkhya philosophy system) rajas, which is the source of all energetic movements of the soul, especially its active impetuous impulses.
So, it is shown that both the word "to get angry" and the word "to be annoyed" are of Sanskrit origin (from the words "hridaya" and "rajas" respectively).
Now the word "meek" is considered. It is also intended to convey to us a certain psychological characteristic of a person, his state of mind.
Synonyms for the word “meek” (according to Ozhegov’s dictionary): “kindly”, “submissive”, “meek”.
In an attempt to find a Sanskrit parallel, we turn our minds to the cognates from Sanskrit and discover the already mentioned famous word “krodha” (often found, for example, in the Bhagavad Gita). What does it mean? It means "wrath", "malice", etc. - that is, something completely opposite in meaning to the word "meek". But this should not confuse us now, because we know for sure that even words with the same root can be antonyms (i.e., opposite in meaning). In the process of linguistic evolution (or degradation), the meaning of a word could be subject to rethinking, deliberate or unintentional distortion - up to giving the word the opposite meaning to its original meaning. The word could be lost for some time, go out of active circulation, and then again unexpectedly “surface to the surface of the popular lexicon” - but with the opposite meaning, (or) with a completely different connotation. It is known that it is enough to add the prefix “a” to a word, and it will already be in opposition to the original one. We add another “a”, and the word again takes on a completely different meaning, etc. (For example, “krodha” - “malice”; “akrodha” - “kindness”; “a-akrodha” - “non-kindness, i.e. malice”, etc.)
It seems that this was precisely the fate of the word “meek.” Initially, among the ancient Aryans, it (in the form of “krodha”) meant anger, rage, malice, violent negative emotion - and then underwent an amazing transformation and began to mean something the opposite.

We ask Him (or: You) to also think and take care of us."
Sanskrit root words-cores in the Russian language are like a half-erased inscription on an ancient coin, which is extremely difficult to make out and decipher, but if you put in enough effort and patience, the researcher will enjoy the joy of discovering that in the end the inscription is read, understood and contains valuable information.

(This list could already be increased by at least two times - there is simply no time for this yet, and it is not difficult to get a general idea from this list. Soon, perhaps, there will be more examples of Sanskrit-Russian parallels and correspondences. However, everyone can make such a list themselves - you just need to carefully read the Sanskrit dictionary, Vedic texts and think carefully about all this information :))
Using the simple techniques of VZZB (Interchangeable Sounds-Letters), DP (Range of Concepts) and FZ (Phantom Sounds), you can discover and learn many words that have common Sanskrit-Russian roots. Significant changes have occurred with words (Vedic-Sanskrit) over time (about three thousand years), but the root base-core remains most often unchanged (and relatively easy to recognize), and it is this that needs to be focused on in research when searching and comparing cognate words of Russian and Sanskrit.
Already now, we can conclude with complete confidence that the words that the Russian language received as a legal inheritance from Vedic Sanskrit can describe and cover almost the entire huge sphere of human mental functioning and almost the entire area of human relationships with the nature around him - and this is the main thing in Spiritual Culture.
And this observation, among other things, is extremely important role in the matter of cleansing the Russian language of the garbage that has accumulated and, as it were, stuck in it - creating a lot of intellectual obstacles and blocks - due to the introduction of various alien and vulgar elements into the Russian language (the so-called "thieves' jargon", obscenity, etc. .). The presence (and active use) of polluting and vulgarizing factors (words, catchphrases, expressions, etc.) in the modern Russian language is a challenge to the entire Slavic-Aryan spiritual culture, the only adequate response to which will be to rid our language from this garbage using affordable means.
And one of the most important steps on this path is the return to the life-giving pure source of the Russian language - Vedic Sanskrit, the discovery and description of the deepest connections between these two RELATED languages, the commonality of many words (along with those that have already entered - or rather, returned - into use , - yoga, guru, mantra, etc.), and the community of a single Vedic Spiritual and cultural basis.
On this page of the site you can choose a name for yourself. Do not take this choice too seriously, but at the same time, allow yourself to take your choice as seriously as necessary in order to accept the chosen name as your own for a while.
As many people know, it is not by chance that in the East practitioners receive a second name in order to distance themselves from their past (usually material and meaningless), and also to identify with a new name, which often has spiritual meaning and significance. On this page of the site you are invited, although very distant from the authentic initiation rituals, but nevertheless realistically, to do approximately the same thing.
All names are Sanskrit names. For each name an approximate translation of its meaning is given. You choose a name and consider it yours for a while (for example, one day, a week or more). Try not to choose a name many times - accept the first name and feel it as yours, for any period you wish. You can then choose a different name, etc.
To choose a name - focus on your choice, think about it for a moment and click on one of the links below that matches your gender.
Choose your name:
On the next page your name and its meaning will be waiting for you.
All names in Sanskrit usually have many meanings and, as a rule, are obscure to many people, do not worry if you have chosen a name that is not entirely beautiful and original in your opinion - this is not very important, all names in Sanskrit have a deep meaning and significance - therefore the main thing is this.
Where do you think words like “the Almighty”, “preach”, “beef”, “guitar”, “toil”, “bandit”, “pocket” and many others came from? It is impossible to ignore the fact that there are a huge number of identical words in Russian and Sanskrit. It is also impossible not to notice the commonality of many words of other European languages with Sanskrit, which is the Protolanguage, the Progenitor of all Indo-European languages. This article is more related to the connection between Sanskrit and the Russian language, and this will be the main focus.
Today we will talk a little about the similarity of Slavic languages with the ancient language of the Gods, in which the Vedas were written - Sanskrit.
According to the latest historical research, in the Great = "Mongol" Empire of the XIII-XVI centuries (that is, for several centuries), the main languages were Slavic and Turkic. The official language of the Empire was probably Slavic.
Let us also recall that "India" is one of the ancient names of Rus'-Horde.
And only in the rebellious era of the Reformation of the late 16th - 17th centuries, after the split of the Empire, in its separated fragments, the reformers who usurped power began to actively create new languages in order to separate from the metropolis of the Empire (Rus-Horde) not only politically, but also linguistically , culturally.
It was for this purpose that in the 16th-17th centuries the new rulers called upon special people who were tasked with “inventing new languages.”
As a result, they created a science called "linguistics".
It was invented for a very practical (and important for the rebel reformers) purpose. Namely, to develop new languages in new states that have just separated from the metropolis. However, the hastily created languages ("ancient" Latin, "ancient" Greek, French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, etc.) were inevitably based on the state Slavic language in its broad sense. After all, the reformers simply did not have any other material.
Consequently, against their will, all the new languages and dialects they invented had to bear a deep “Slavic imprint”. There is abundant evidence of this. It's remarkable that they have survived to this day.
Previously, these “Slavic traces” were either ignored or hushed up, since people of the 17th-20th centuries accustomed to using the erroneous Scaligerian chronology. In which the very idea of the origin, for example, of the “most ancient” Latin from the Slavic language was unacceptable.(See book Russian roots of "ancient Latin").
The fact of the closest connection between Russian and Sanskrit is generally well known to specialists. Since the 19th century. At the same time, Today it is not customary to speak loudly about this amazing closeness. They pretend that this fact, they say, “doesn’t mean anything special.” After all, Sanskrit was used, they say, many, many, many centuries before the Slavs appeared on the historical stage.
Thus, while actually recognizing that the “most ancient” Sanskrit lies at the basis of the Indo-European languages, historians at the same time avoid in every possible way discussing its practical identity with Old Slavic.
Since then it turns out that in Slavic lies at the foundation of many “ancient” and modern languages. But historians cannot allow this. Therefore, calling the “parent Sanskrit” actually the Old Slavic language, made a crafty substitution.
In fact, it is Vedic Sanskrit- This native language of all Slavic peoples, and awareness of this fact is very important for the general spiritual and cultural orientation of modern people. The Slavic linguistic mentality is directly related to the Sanskrit language and has its genetic roots in it (SKS: Russian “KoreN” - from Sanskrit “KaraNa”, i.e. reason, root basis).
The thinking basis of the Slavs is based on Sanskrit. SANSKRIT is our, so to speak, SANSKaRa, that is, something inherent in the deep subconscious of the Slavs. Sanskrit sanskara , that is imprint , is indelible because it is on a subtler level than the physical body and mind/intelligence. Sometimes, in certain happy moments, when consciousness gains expansion and enlightenment, this can be felt to some extent clearly.
No matter how much time passes, no matter what processes take place in the lives of peoples, the living-as-life-itself connection between the European Slavic languages and Vedic Sanskrit does not erase, deteriorate or perish. Recognizing this close connection between Sanskrit and Slavic languages (i.e. Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Czech, etc.) is not so difficult. The facts, as they say, are clear. Parallels (i.e. direct relationships) between words such as " jnana " and "knowledge", " Vidya " and "knowledge", " dvara " and "door", " mrityu " and "death", " Shveta " and "light", " jiva " and "alive", etc. etc. - are obvious and indisputable.
Further, it should be noted that one of the primary points in the study of Sanskrit-Slavic kinship is that those Slavic words that are of Sanskrit origin play an extremely important, if not the most important, role even in the linguistic structure itself, that is, they express/name main (mental and somatic) functions of human life.
For example, everything that is somehow connected in the Russian language with knowledge or spiritual and ordinary vision has a root basis in Sanskrit: ZNA yeah, by ZNA wow ZNA wat, at ZNA nie, VIEW tion, VIEW there, before VIEW yes, yes VIEW there, ZR there, ZeR kalo, (oh ZeR o - the surface of the water on which ZR the moon is reflected there), both ZR about ZR eat, with ZeR tsaniye, at ZR ak, pre ZR tion, support ZR education, about ZR tion, CHIT ah, s CHIT oh, oh CHIT Yes, etc. Also, these languages have a lot of common names from the field of phenomena, elements and objects of nature (fire-agni, wind-vata, water-udaka, etc.).
As has already been noted several times, Russian people really speak Sanskrit, only a somewhat corrupted and distorted version of it. Even from a superficial point ZR However, in the Russian language there is a very noticeable echo, or echo, of Sanskrit. If the connection between the Russian language and Sanskrit is subjected to a more thorough and attentive analysis, then many amazing things can be discovered (SKS: Russian " thing " - Skt. " vishaya ") and make a lot of amazing discoveries (in terms of word creation). According to the observation of some experts, The Russian language is one of the closest of all European languages to the Sanskrit language. And, perhaps, the Russian language is really the most preserved (in relation to Sanskrit) of all European Slavic languages due to the fact that Russia is remote from all Western European states, and did not actively mix its language with the languages of its neighbors. In India itself, Vedic Sanskrit (the language of the Rig-Veda) also underwent gradual changes due to influence from the languages of the Dravidian population.
In order to discover and trace the most hidden and internal layers of Russian-Sanskrit linguistic correspondences/analogues, it is necessary to tune in to serious scientific research (this goes without saying), etc. etc., - but from our point of view, the most important thing is to apply the method of Mystical-intuitive penetration everywhere and with maximum awareness ( so-called yoga-pratyaksha - penetration into figurative-sound vibrations-correspondences, bypassing literal interpretations) to the very Essence (SKS: rus. " essence " - Skt. " sat ") subject. Why is this special attention? Because by the methods of formal linguistics alone (SKS: “ lingua, lingua " - Skt. " lingam , i.e. sign (in this case - a linguistic sign)") will not do here - it will be too little, and it will bring rather meager results. Linear-formal techniques are so-called. If “academic” comparative linguistics works here, it will only be at the initial stage, at the peripheral level. If we want to unearth a real treasure, we will have to dig to much deeper layers of language, which are in contact not so much with the surface consciousness, but with the subconscious, with what is hidden deep under the ground of words and concepts, under a pile of terms, epithets and definitions .
The approach that is proposed here is certainly sensitive to literal interpretations of words-concepts and at the same time paradoxical in the sense that it sometimes goes far beyond literal parallels and correspondences, trying to penetrate through the surface layer of forms into the depths of the essential content; The verbal, phonetic area of application of words-concepts expressed through speech is also involved.
For example, when it is said that the Sanskrit-Russian words: “ tama " And " darkness «, « divya " And " amazing «, « Dasha " And " ten «, « sata " And " one hundred «, « sloka " And " syllable, slogan «, « pada " And " heel " - are of the same root, then this does not raise any particular doubts or objections; You don’t have to be Professor of Comparative Linguistics Müller to see the direct similarities here. When we feel a fundamental relationship between some Russian and Sanskrit words-concepts, but do not have formal evidence of this (KINSHIP), then identifying and pointing out this KINSHIP seems quite difficult (and even more so, presenting the evidence base). Difficult, but not impossible, because, as we have already noted, contemplative abstraction and paradoxical logic are quite effective and proven tools with the help of which such incomprehensibly deep and intimate linguistic connections between Sanskrit and Russian words are revealed and demonstrated, which sometimes captivates spirit. (Let us also not forget about the danger of getting carried away by far-fetched and “far-fetched” parallels and correspondences, inventions and fantasies.)
The sage Socrates, Plato’s teacher, says in the book “The State, Chapter 1” - “... you became so meek and stopped getting angry...”.
What immediately catches your eye about this small, compact phrase? Firstly, all its elements are of Sanskrit origin; secondly, two words that convey certain psycho-states especially attract attention - the adjective “meek” and the verb “angry”. Do they have any connection with Sanskrit roots? Of course they do, and in order to identify it, we will carry out the following research comparisons.
Let's look at the word "angry" first.
Ozhegov’s dictionary gives the following synonyms for the word “get angry”: “to be angry, irritated with someone, to feel anger towards someone.” Then, it is not difficult to realize that the root basis of the word “get angry” is “heart/heart/heart”, that is, “get angry” - this means “to show some HERD eternal affect, movement of the soul.” Heart is a Russian word, derived from the Sanskrit word “hridaya”, i.e. they have the same root - SRD-HRD. Also, the broad scope of the Sanskrit word hridaya - heart, includes such a concept as soul. And the heart, and the soul, and the mind/manas - all this is covered by the area of \u200b\u200bmeanings of the Sanskrit word “hridaya”. This is directly related to the psyche and the processes occurring in it. Therefore, the origin of the Russian word “get angry” (i.e., show some kind of negative heartfelt affect) from the Sanskrit “hridaya-heart” is quite logical and reasonable.
But here one tricky question arises: why in Russian does this word (“get angry”) have a negative connotation, and quite pronounced (SKS: Russian “bright” - Sanskrit “arch (bright sun)”), whereas, according to idea, everything related to the heart should reflect the positive attractions of the soul and heart, such as love, sympathy, affection, passion, etc.? The point here is that, as you know, from love to hate is one small step; insightful Hindu Brahmins almost always paired passionate affection (kama) with hatred and malice (krodha), that is, they showed that they are inseparable companions. Where there is kama, there is krodha, and where there is krodha (malice, anger), there must necessarily be kama (lust) nearby. In other words, in Hindu psychology, passionate love and anger-hatred are emotional correlates, complementary factors. Then, since one of the synonyms of the word “get angry” is the word “to be irritated,” another characteristic parallel from the field of ancient Indian psychology immediately arises: the root of the word “times” DRAGE"to be" corresponds to the word " RAJ ac", i.e. guna (in the Samkhya philosophy system) rajas, which is the source of all energetic movements of the soul, especially its active impetuous impulses. So, it is shown that both the word “to get angry” and the word “to be annoyed” are of Sanskrit origin (from the words “hridaya” and “rajas” respectively).
Now the word “meek” is considered.
It is also intended to convey to us a certain psychological characteristic of a person, his state of mind. Synonyms for the word “meek” (according to Ozhegov’s dictionary): “kindly”, “submissive”, “meek”. In an attempt to find a Sanskrit parallel, we turn our minds to the cognates from Sanskrit and discover the already mentioned famous word “krodha” (often found, for example, in the Bhagavad Gita).
What does it mean? It means “anger”, “malice”, etc. - that is, something completely opposite in meaning to the word “meek”. But this should not confuse us now, because we know for sure that even words with the same root can be antonyms (i.e., opposite in meaning). In the process of linguistic evolution (or degradation), the meaning of a word could be subject to rethinking, deliberate or unintentional distortion - up to giving the word the opposite meaning to its original meaning. The word could be lost for some time, go out of active circulation, and then again unexpectedly “surface to the surface of the popular lexicon” - but with the opposite meaning, (or) with a completely different connotation. It is known that it is enough to add the prefix “a” to a word, and it will already be in opposition to the original one. We add another “a”, and the word again takes on a completely different meaning, etc. (For example, “krodha” - “malice”; “akrodha” - “kindness”; “a-akrodha” - “non-kindness, i.e. malice”, etc.) It seems that this is exactly what it was the fate of the word “meek”. Initially, among the ancient Aryans, it (in the form of “krodha”) meant anger, rage, anger, violent negative emotion - and then underwent an amazing transformation and began to mean something the opposite.
Sanskrit root words-cores in the Russian language are like a half-erased inscription on an ancient coin, which is extremely difficult to make out and decipher, but if you put in enough effort and patience, the researcher will enjoy the joy of discovering that in the end the inscription is read, understood and contains valuable information. All those who are interested in and practice yoga, as well as the study of ancient Indo-Aryan philosophy, have to deal with many Sanskrit words and terms (however, almost any Sanskrit word can be translated into terms). In addition to existing studies on this topic and lists of Sanskrit-Russian (and Sanskrit-English) parallels and correspondences, a new (but far from exhaustive, since everyone can add to it) list is proposed, which may provide some additional help in memorization Sanskrit words:

Using the simple techniques of VZZB (Interchangeable Sounds-Letters), DP (Range of Concepts) and FZ (Phantom Sounds), you can discover and learn many words that have common Sanskrit-Russian roots. Significant changes have occurred with words (Vedic-Sanskrit) over time (about three thousand years), but the root base-core remains most often unchanged (and relatively easy to recognize), and it is this that needs to be focused on in research when searching and comparing cognate words of Russian and Sanskrit.
Already now, we can conclude with complete confidence that the words that the Russian language received as a legal inheritance from Vedic Sanskrit can describe and cover almost the entire huge sphere of human mental functioning and almost the entire area of human relationships with the nature around him - and this is the main thing in Spiritual Culture. And this observation, among other things, plays an extremely important role in cleansing the Russian language of the garbage that has accumulated and, as it were, stuck in it - creating a mass of intellectual obstacles and blocks - due to introduction of various foreign and vulgar elements into the Russian language(so-called “thieves’ jargon”, obscenity, etc.). The presence (and active use) of polluting and vulgarizing factors (words, catchphrases, expressions, etc.) in the modern Russian language is a challenge to the entire Slavic-Aryan spiritual culture, the only adequate response to which will be to rid our language from this garbage using affordable means.
And one of the most important steps on this path is the return to the life-giving pure source of the Russian language - Vedic Sanskrit, the discovery and description of the deepest connections between these two RELATED languages, the commonality of many words (along with those that have already entered - or rather, returned - into use , - yoga, guru, mantra, etc.), and the community of a single Vedic Spiritual and cultural basis. tamma (Sankrit) - darkness

1. Asana. Pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable. Literally translated as " comfortable position”, but in yoga classes it usually means “asana” or simply “pose”. For example, Balasana - child's pose, Navasana - Boat pose, Simhasana - Lion pose, and so on.
2. Namaste. One word, but the translation is long: “The sacred in me welcomes the sacred in you.” The word “Namaste” is often used to open (and end) yoga classes. A simplified version is possible: “I’m amazing. You're amazing. All these other people are amazing too. Isn't it great that we all did yoga together? Thank you everyone for this experience and presence.”
3. Om. Oooooooommmmmmmmm. It is believed that this is the sound that the universe makes, the primary, primordial sound. It is sung at the beginning and end of yoga classes. The image of this sound has become a kind of universal symbol of yoga - it adorns the walls of yoga studios, appears in jewelry and tattoos of yogis around the world. But what does it really mean? We are all part of the universe - we, too, are always moving, changing, breathing. And when we chant Om, we remind ourselves of this.
4. Shanti. Peace, quiet. When we sing “Om Shanti Shanti”, we seem to appeal to this peace. In Buddhist and Hindu traditions, the word "shanti" is repeated three times, which symbolizes peace at the level of spirit, soul and body.
5. Vinyasa. It is needed in order to logically connect one asana to another. To make it beautiful and comfortable. Thanks to vinyasa, during practice you will always be busy and will not make a single stop. It is actively used in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Jivamukti Yoga classes, and rarely in Iyengar yoga.
6. Mantra. Just because you repeat a word often does not mean that you are chanting a mantra. Mantra is sacred. It is believed that each mantra is associated with a specific deity and by chanting one of them, you are calling on someone. So don't just sing for the sake of it - be selective and respectful. The most popular mantras: Gayatri mantra, Om namah Shivaya, Hare Krishna. Point 3 (see above) also applies here.
7. Shavasana. Favorite asana of yogis. If you saw that everyone in the class was sleeping, it was her. Shavasana is performed only at the end of the class in order to relax and assimilate the experience gained.
8. Pranayama. If you start doing yoga, you will have to “learn” to breathe. Pranayama pacifies the mind, calms nervous system, raises energy levels and... unobtrusively leads to Enlightenment.
9. Mudra. From Sanskrit “seal, sign”. We all know how to put our palms together (especially when we need something), but this is just the beginning. There are many mudras, and each of them is responsible for a special state of mind. Do you want to develop compassion, courage, wisdom? Your hands and fingers are at your service!
10. Bandha. Energy lock. The main one is Mula bandha (contraction of the anus muscles through volitional effort), which teachers advise to hold all the time (yes, can you imagine?!) Other locks should be performed only during class. At the request of the teacher.
The largest specialist in Vedic culture in Russia, Doctor of Philology, Russian linguist and professional translator of the Rig Veda Tatyana Yakovlevna Elizarenkova (1929-2007), who wrote scientific works "Grammar of the Vedic language" , comparing Sanskrit and Russian, writes:
“When translating from Vedic into other languages, the Russian language has a number of undoubted advantages over Western European languages. These advantages are determined both by the greater degree of correspondence between Vedic and Russian due to the better preservation of archaisms in it than in Western languages, and by the greater proximity of the Russian (Slavic) mythological and poetic tradition to the Indo-Iranian.”
