RE:The translation seems to be incorrect
by Krishnamurthy P.V. on Apr 28, 2007 11:49 AM

When translated it means, " Honourable President, welcome to Greece". Mahabhaga means a term of respect .It can also mean ," Excellency, Mr. President, welcome to Greece." In Hindi it can be said as" Rashtrapati Mahodayji, Yunaan me aap ka swagat hai."
It is the most heartening to know that Europeans learn Sanskrit, while most of the Indians term it as dead language.Some regard it as the language of Hindus or Brahmins and so on. Will Indians learn from this, that Samskrutam naama daivi vaaganmakhyata maharshibhi. Long live Bharat.
