हृदय सूत्र - hRdaya sUtra



This is not a translation - not yet. It is just an enunciation of the words of the mantra with links to dictionaries for each word. I used the short version from wikisource, which is slightly different from the song but i have to put the song for pronunciation. Where i could not find a word in dictionaries i chose the closest or divided the words into smaller ones until i found those. For those who don't trust http://spokensanskrit.org they can verify each word using one of the dictionaries found here http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de at nr.1 and 7 but it is my understanding that http://spokensanskrit.org includes those.

Starting with second row with Latin transliteration, Arya avalokitezvara bodhisattva... you can follow the words of the song, sort of like at karaoke... If you loose track, just hit the refresh button on the browser or F5 and start over...

The apparent difference of words in Sanskrit in the video and below is because of using of different Latin transliterations. I have used the Harvard-Kyoto, the video uses some sort of direct phonetic Latin transliteration.

The reason for this small project was i was searching easy ways to learn Sanskrit pronunciation. But i ended by actually learning quite a few Sanskrit words and many other interesting things.

For those who don't know. Beware. This is a text central to Buddhism and equivalent to maybe Lord's Prayer in Christianity. Although the song and words impose respect by their own sounding, please treat it as such!
