Many such terms are used in emblems of the institutions in India resembling
the Latin ones in the Western world. A reference to the institutions may be
appropriate. These may resonate collection of subhaashhita but will give
direct explanation of sayings commonly used in Philosophy encoded in the
Sanskrit texts including Upanishhads. The writing could be for a page
or two in the form of an essay or pravachana explaining the intricacies of
sayings and sighting other texts. The first step is to collect such
`revealing' messages, and then a few can start writing on them.
So here is an opportunity to add your favorite, inspirational, wise
statement. Please send them to Anand Raghavendra ANANDR@nebfef.com
They will be re-posted after editting. The format in which the final outcome
will be is given below:
vaakya

complete shloka
word by word meaning

comments, some insights, quotes, notes for implementations in daily practice.)
