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.

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

This is therefore a work in progress and subject to change at any time.

Earlier definition
Musk. A fragrant substance obtained from the gland of the musk deer. In Indian culture, Kasturi is also a symbol of purity and innocence.
A deer is enchanted by a captivating scent and embarks on a quest to find its source. After roaming far and wide, the deer finally discovers that the alluring aroma is emanating from its own self. In a moment of realization, the deer understands that it has been searching for its own essence all along. This story is often used as a metaphor for self-discovery and the idea that what we seek is often within us. Unaware that divine qualities such as wisdom, love, and bliss are inherent within the soul itself, we had been searching for them in the external world. Baba came and revealed to us that they reside within us. When Baba bestows a gift upon us—likened to Kasturi (musk)—He is gifting us a treasure of wisdom that is equally rare, pure, and fragrant; truly, it is an invaluable treasure.
