767 - Q&A Saturday: Scriptures, Sanskrit & Being Simply An Instrument
from Sravanam Diaries · host Sulalita Devi Dasi
In today's episode we are concluding our reply to @the__weird_1 regarding how to read the scriptures and approach them with purity of the mind and as to why in ISKCON we write "Krishna" instead of "Krsna", meaning as English transliteration of Sanskrit, all foreign languages have to resort to transliteration due to lack of knowing the language of Sanskrit and Devanagari. And sure enough it looks imperfect, but we are a work in progress. Also in the last question of the episode I speak about how devotees find content, "something to post" by being Nimitta Matram, simply an instrument.
