Murli Dictionary
Hindi is also shown in Latin characters, using an adapted form of ISO 15919 transliteration.
How to read the transliteration
This site uses transliteration based on ISO 15919, with a few adaptations to make reading easier: h is added after c, ś and ṣ, and i after the vowel r̥. These adaptations bring it closer to the Hunterian system used in India while retaining the distinctive marks of ISO 15919.
| ISO 15919 | On this site |
|---|---|
| c | ch |
| ś | śh |
| ṣ | ṣh |
| r̥ | r̥i |
A few reading pointers:
- ā, ī, ū: the line above the letter indicates a long vowel.
- ṭ, ḍ, ṇ: the dot below distinguishes retroflex consonants from t, d, n.
- A tilde above a vowel indicates nasalisation.
About this dictionary
The construction of this dictionary is based on common definitions in Hindi and English. Many words or expressions are redefined or even created by Baba. Hence the importance of knowing these definitions specific to this knowledge. These redefinitions and new definitions can be found in the murli. It is easy to forget some of them. This is therefore a work in progress and subject to change at any time.

Earlier definition
(maybe) The Persian wheel (or saqia, tablia, rehat, tympanum) is a lifting device for extracting water from a well using animal traction, a succession of containers filling at the bottom and emptying at the surface, often to supply a land irrigation network. Because it is not using the power of flowing water, the Persian wheel is different from a noria and any other type of water wheel.
(maybe) A noria (Arabic: ناعورة, nā‘ūra, lit. "growler") is a hydropowered scoop wheel used to lift water into a small aqueduct, either for the purpose of irrigation or to supply water to cities and villages.

Earlier definition
Nār or rahaṭ, noria or Persian wheel. It is a wheel with buckets attached around it. The wheel turns with the force of the current (noria, water wheel) or with the force of oxen (Persian wheel) and draws water from a current to bring it into a higher water conduit (used for 'agriculture). Each bucket fills when it is at the bottom, in the water, and has a short time to fill. Then gradually empties in a little less than half a turn into a water conduit. This represents soul energy that takes a short time to fill (a short time in the cycle) and takes a long time to empty (the entire rest of the cycle).
Earlier definition
