I want to find a site where I can get sanskrit characters and sayings with English meaning. Does anyone know of a site or source for these? I'm particularly interested in the chants rendered in Sanskrit. Thank you

There are many sources that you can find online using various search engines. Here is a very classic, traditional representation of the characters that is just a scan of a book page:

http://theosophy.org/Other%20or%20Uncertain/Gods%20and%20Heroes%20of%20the%20Bhagavad%20Gita%20(GAB)/131.jpg

and here is an interesting web-based approach that gives you a lot of detail about each character but is not so good for searching from the English side:

Here is one of many possible sources of prayers and chants:

Try just Googling ’sanskrit.’

you would have them do to you?" or "Forgive and forget" Do YOU?

Doesn't anyone in this day an age believe in those things anymore? What about here on Askville? Do you think we act that way? or is it "Everyone for themselves" mentality on here?

Just curious, I have noticed a lot of 'bickering, and name calling, etc of late and it seems as though people need to remember those sayings more frequently than NOT!

What do you think? I feel that if more thought about those things happened then some of the stuff that is said on here could be left out totally. Is it impossible for everyone to just "agree to disagree" without a "BATTLE" or "@#$@"?

Lets see if we can try for just ONE WEEK! See if it makes anything different on here. IF it doesn't then, I guess at least we can say we tried.

What do you say? What are your thoughts? Are you willing?
