Bhosadike - Bho sad ike

Lets see the word

Bho sad ike

It would surprise many of you to know that the origins of this word are

in a Sanskrit greeting,

Bho sad ike? Meaning,

Sir, are you well?

Everyone knows that 'Sad' is a prefix used for good things,like sadguru,sadiccha etc.'Bho' is a term used for respect,brahmins will know it since it is used in the abhivadaye.

  

Ika is a atmanepadi verb meaning to be.

ike ikaavahe ikaamahe

ikase ikethe ikadhve

ikate ikete ikante

are its forms.

This was a popular form of greeting in ancient India,before the Mughals

came and prohibited this greeting, for reasons unknown.

However some enterprising locals continued to use this

greeting.Therefore, to assasinate this greeting morally, the mughals

gave it vulgar connotations, and those are alive even know.

It is time we revived our ancient indian traditions heeding to the call

of Swami Vivekananda who urged us all to go back to the vedas.

Say Bhosadike to all the people you meet and explain them its true meaning.

Every truth has three sides: yours, mine and the real one.
