Sakti should be replaced too then

Languages originate from other languages or produce another language; it will never emerge on its own. The old languages struggle when it comes to the modern world with new technological words, where language scholars will give up and loan those words from another language. Modern languages loan words from the older languages too – e.g Parkir (Parking) which refer to tempat letak kereta. Lending and borrowing doesn’t make the language stupid, it doesn’t mean the language is not civilized but it helps in the continued usage of a language.

Languages never had problems with other languages like how religion has/had; it gets victimized by the practitioner, yes the religion practitioner. Things get better when the language can speak for themselves - unfortunately the alphabet is not made up of living creatures but helps to make mankind civilized. It reminds me of the quote in John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. In layman ’s terms, which is the direct translation – each word belongs to Almighty God. This means every language belongs to God; we cannot blame God for choosing Sanskrit in the beginning, followed by Hebrew and then finally Arabic to give knowledge to the humans. Can we blame God for the language evolution over the eras?

Lately, there were words banned especially the word (nanana, I obey the leaders decision. I will try not say it till the end of this article). I strongly adore the way leaders stinks, no no THINK I mean. English language, don’t get me into trouble! The leaders are protecting the citizens from being misled and I like the judgment of their people - they don’t know how to differentiate it so to ease confusion, we withdraw the loan words. To prevent confusion, the word can now be partially used by some and not by other states.

Concerning the ‘misleading’ or “confusion’ of language, we should consider other words too. There is a common word used in daily life that is not only misleading but indirectly praying, oh gosh ... PRAYING to a different god – if you think there are too many gods!! SAKTI, it originates from Shakti/ Sakthi- which means ‘power’ referring to cosmic energy in Hinduism. Shakti/sakti is the concept of divine feminine creative power, referred to ‘The Great Divine Mother’ – Durga, Mahakali, Parvati and the list goes on.

The Shakti goddess can be viewed in the context of science where the feminine Shakti manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unnoticeable form. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, the most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti. If you still can't quite get what is Kundalini, this is one of the examples where English has to borrow like how it does for Yoga (Sanskrit originally).
Referring to the above paragraph, if we are talking in the context of science, then each time we insert ‘Sakti’ into our Malay language, it carries a different meaning. Example – Kita bukan penentu tapi tuhan yang maha sakti, lagi maha berkuasa, now you get the actual meaning. By the way, maha in Arabic means a woman with beautiful eyes and in Sanskrit means great. It usually follows with another word - Maha Avathar, Maha Brahma etc likewise in Malay, Maha Berkuasa, Maha Penyayang. Now, is the ‘maha’ referring to power or goddess?
 
With my above justification on sakti, it will never go wrong when you know what you are referring to and the context referred to. I am leaving to the readers to judge whether we should ban and take ownership - ‘trademark’ it - since every word - not vulgar words, let satan take the ownership of vulgar words - gives more exposure to the right path to our community and not block the language since its duty is to communicate and ease any explanation on certain words.

Hope we don’t further ban the words Firman, Wahyu, Iman; these are commonly used in both holy books (Malay language version). Replacing other words to their articles or in holy books may mislead the interpretation. I am ending the article with a bhajan (devotional lyrics):

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Patita Pavan Sitaram
Sitaram, Sitaram, Bhaj Pyare Mana Sitaram
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram,Patita Pavan Sitaram

Ishwar Allah Tero Nam,Sabako Sanmati De Bhagawan
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Patita Pavan Sitaram...

Wow 224,000 prophets..

Image
Islam theology recognize as many as 224, 000 prophets. They were chosen by GOD to teach mankind but only 25 prophets were identified, where the balance of 223,975? If we look at geographical, the 25 prophets were from desert nation and if we look at the globe, desert nations covered less then quarter four. Who and where are the balance prophets. If only 25 of them and their location within the Nazareth, this mean GOD wants HIS teaching speared from 1 continent to the rest of the world but if out of 224, 000 only 25 of them identified this means the rest preaching contradict with 25 of them and were not indentified them in that particular continent. This shows they are not chosen by GOD. Even the above statement sounds logic but for sure they teach well in deeds to humankind. The huge crowds of prophets were from all around the globe, this sounds better. Their preaching and teaching could be common but when it was interpreted by human century after century, there goes argument and civil...

Are we practicing by knowing or unwilling to know?

The Hindus in Malaysia are so emotional, past several days I am bearing in mind tons of emotional comments on their FB/ youtube/ blogspots for the remark made by MP Zulkifli Nordin for his discrimination about Hindu. The Hindus especially in Malaysia, we so proud of Hindu for the oldest religion, our ancestors were great- artifacts from Raja Chola empire was found in Kedah, Indonesia before Islam, before science-only Hindus found nine planets, Bodhidharman, oh yes in China unbelievable that is also from the movie!! All this left over history to make us walk proudly but our practice as per actual Hindu?  By now some of intellects or emotional Hindus start cursing me for my statement; please, emotional act can result bad judgment, with humble request please read my article till the end. How can my statement go wrong, during temple festivals at least 1 gang fight by our youngsters to show heroism. Police force required to control the crime during holy riots; if there is none, th...

The science behind “Nagama”

Image
How do the current hindus observe Nagama – worship as serpent goddess with egg and milk; a total diversion in the context of religious past 1500 years back. Reason of worshiping this serpent structure remains; where married woman repay when they do not get pregnant. Doesn't make sense at all snake and pregnancy; let’s unwrap it. Don’t view the serpent in the context of religion but if we look at ancient science – most ancient science has this snake related topic – what is snake up to? It is not really about snakes but DNA merely. The DNA was first identified and isolated by  Friedrich Miescher  in 1871, but DNA has been identified during ancient Hindu simultaneously Anunnaki. DNA is found in other livings so what is so big deal for human then – DNA acts according to genetic; genetic is consist of surrounding changes. E.g Labrador is easier to train compared to boxer breed; the genetic function and DNA changes to suit surrounding factors. Same happens to human (true fr...
