MARICH SAHASTRA NAMAVALI



Tribute To Chilli Peppers

Om Ganeshaaya Namah
Om Gurubhyo Namah
Om Anna Devatabhyo Namah



Friends,
For the first time ever in the history , I have composed and compiled one thousand names and attributes of the world's most loved spice which we know as "CHILLI'.
The compilation of the names has been done as in the same fashion as religious sanskrtit names of Gods and Goddesses have been compiled in Sanskrit Religious Literature.
I not only adore and love chilli peppers , I revear the wonderful spice. It is the greatest gift ever given by Latin American continent to India and the rest of the world.
I hope that people will appreciate my love for this wonderful spice.

Excellent Job HemantBhai :) Now for the benefit of folks like me who are Sanskrit Challenged.. is there anyway you can translate this into English? In fact its a nice way to learn how an Hindu Homage/Omam is conducted..

I will be visiting this page on a regular basis just to get a grasp of various vocabulary.. KUDOS to you for this excellent work!!!

OK, let me restate.. after reading closely.. some of them I do understand and some I don't at the current point.. I must say it is darn creative :)

do svidaniya,

welcome to the ultimate chilli blog.
Yes, you have given me an idea. I will translate first 70 names from Sanskrit to English. Those names indicate health benefits that we can derive from consumption of Chillies.

You may add yourself as a follower of this blog.

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

storm,

Don't you agree that if it were not for this wonderful pod,our diets would have been as un interesting as those of inuits?

NJA,

I could not agree more. I cannot fathom life without chile/chilli.

JJ Moneysauce said...

All the way to the inuit diet? That's a little drastic, but I agree.

Read Farley Mowat's People of the Deer for some uh...eye-opening discussion of inuit food.

Barf.

Nichiro said...

Jason,

Thanks for the info . I will try to read the same. But you also agree that inuit food means all meat/fish/seal blood and no spices.
