Ayur Arogya Saukhya - Greeting in Sanskrit - TravellerG

[TravellerG]

Pranam … *…dear LGs,*

I wish you “Ayur Arogya Saukhya” (or Saukhyam).

As LGs, we meet many People around the world & it is interesting to note the meanings of such Greetings, Wishes, (Prayers), etc.

T**hese three very powerful ‘Sanskrit’ words have very deep meaning. (Did you know, that the Sanskrit & Tamil are two of the Oldest Languages, known - Wiki)

But, v**ery basically, in simple words, one can understand the phrase as*:*

"Live Long - with Good Health - & Immense Happiness"

Usually this phrase is used as divine greeting or as prayer; also, e**lders bless youngsters, using these words, in Indian tradition.

Ayur (Ayuh / Ayus) is a Sanskrit word meaning “Life” or “Vital Power”; the state of being Alive with Consciousness.

(The word Ayur is also in “AyurVeda” which means the “Life Science”; Ayur = Life & Veda = Science [in simple words]).

Arogya is another Sanskrit word, which in brief can be defined as “Overall well-being"; in spirit, it is the “Health of Mind, Body and Soul [Spirit]” - healthy life without diseases of mind and body.

Soukhya is overall happiness or welfare – the state where you don’t need anything more – when all desires have completed.

Conclusion:

“Ayur Arogya Saukhya” =

A greeting / prayer for fulfilment of every desire to its ultimate degree and to be at peace, in healthy state of Mind & Body!

Reference:

“Narayaneeyam” by Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri.

Another very similar prayer / blessing is:

“Ayur Arogya Aishwarya Abhivrudhi rasthu” (Aishwarya = Luxury or a state of having everything you wanted. Abhivrudhi = Achieve & / Grow More & More – Let the above three ‘Gunas’ (properties) grow more & more, in You

Although, each of these words have much deeper meanings, I have just briefed it in simple lines, for easy understanding.

How do you Greet (Pray) with similar meaning, in your Language/ Country?

Thanks

Yes, dear @Tejal - "…devlipi language…“Sacred & Unique”;

Unfortunately, although Sanskrit’s origin is from Bharat, presently, Sanskrit is more popular in many other countries…

“…still i recite sanskrit shloka in my daily Pooja…” nice to hear this…

Hi @TravellerG

I appreciate your contribution to Sanskrit.
I have one more suggestion. Can you include the Sanskrit text in Devanagari script also?

[ReshamDas]

Hi @TravellerG ,

Thank you so much for this special post and through this, for highlighting the significance of the language of Samskrit in the cultural multiplication called India. Samskrit is indeed called devlipi, as it is considered to be the mode of communication among the Hindu gods and all the major Hindu mythologies are scripted in this particular language.

In today’s context where there is partial agitation among the use of a common language across the huge nation of India, due to traditional use of regional languages over thousands of years in the different parts of the country although Indian constitution never declared any particular language as the national language of the country, Samskrit fills up that gap easily and it bridges the differences of Indo-European Aryan linguistics and the Deccan Dravidian linguistics, uniting the north with the south in establishing the motto of our dear nation - Unity in Diversity. This indeed proves why Samskrit deserves the tag of being the Devlipi.

Beautiful prayer dear friend @TravellerG
If each of us could put them into practice in everyday life, it would certainly be a better world for everyone!
I really like the positivity and thinking of others of your religion through your prayers.

The prayers of the Catholic religion (I speak for my country Italy) are all aimed at the worship of the sanctity of this religion (God, Jesus, Our Lady, etc. etc.) and very few are directed towards nature or love for others.

I gladly reciprocate this prayer @TravellerG : Ayur Arogya Saukhya!

[TravellerG]

Thank you for your kind words; I am not a scholar in Sankrit - but for religious & cultural reasons, leaned it as an ancestral gift.

Regards…

[TravellerG]

Hi, my dear friend, @C_T ,

Thanks for your kind words; I am not a scholar; we have our friend, @aaryesdee who should be more appropriate to help us, regarding the “Script”

Dear RSD Kindly request for your help… “…Can you include the Sanskrit text in Devanagari script also?..”

[TravellerG]

Hello dear @ReshamDas …

[sorry being late]…

You are extremely correct… The Devlipi is divine & unique.

Special thanks for a very detailed & meaningful reply!

Regards

[C_T]

Hello @TravellerG

That’s not complicated.

You can use the Google input tools to write in any Indic script.

Your wish is to have excellent "आयुर ", “सौख्य” तथा “आरोग्य” to everybody.

That’s a genuinely noble desire.

[TravellerG]

Very kind of you, very dear @davidhyno …

“…practice in everyday life, it would certainly be a better world for everyone!..” very true… no doubt!

For your kind information:

“…positivity and thinking of others of your religion through your prayers…” these verses are not ‘religion’ dependent - common for all and mostly understood by almost all Indians & nearby countries.

"…positivity and thinking of others…"This is embedded in the ‘Indian Heritage’ - special thanks for this comment.

“…I gladly reciprocate this prayer @TravellerG : Ayur Arogya Saukhya!..” most humbly & happily accept your greeting, very dear friend.

[TravellerG]

Thank you very much my dear friend, Inga [ @helga19 ]

Yes, Sanskrit & Tamil are the oldest Languages as per record (Wiki).

Incidentally, I could get a very brief video about how to pronounce your greetings; is this right?

Regards

[TravellerG]

Thank you for your prayers - humbly accept the same.

[TravellerG]

Humbly accept your prayers, dear @Shrut19

Sir Ji’ I’m not a Sanskrit scholar, but trying to learn few basic.

As far as I’m aware, there is no Sanskrit script, but it’s written using Decanagari script. Devanagari is used to write several languages and Sanskrit is one among. It has Swars and Vyanjans and compounded letters.

Devanagari is believed to be of Devas language. Therefore we use sanskrit in Devanagari script.

I have nothing more knowledge other than than this.
