Meanings of some Important Sanskrit words in English, Though it is difficult to find the exact meanings of so many words, to the know the meanings one has to understand sometimes full Hindu philosophy, to get the exact meaning. I have compiled the meanings from various sources all the credit goes to the original translators.

Danam: Charity
Svadhyayam: Study of texts for ‘Self-realisation’

Aarjavam: Straightforwardness
Ahimsa: Nonviolence
Satyam: Truthfulness
Akrodham: Absence of anger

Soucham: Cleanliness
Adroham: Freedom from envy
Natimanita: Absence of self esteem
Jnanayogavyavasthitam: Practise of Yoga for Self-realisation

The ‘demonic’ qualities one should aim to get rid of are:

I will try to find more words, which are very useful to understand the meaning rather to go for literal meaning one should understand the the emotion or being of would certainly help to understand, more than any one else , i myself learn first.
