Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP!

You were speaking in one class that Gandharva are Fairies, Trolls are Rakshasas, Bhutas are ghosts etc. Maharaj, anywhere I can find more of these translations of creatures?

Like in Harry Potter there are different creatures that look after the vaults, etc. JK Rowling creates a world much like ours but with many different kinds of creatures.

Our SP’s books already have many species. If we can leverage those and show other kinds of life-forms related to pastimes, a lot of interesting stories can take birth.

I’m trying to write the story for our Ramayan in a new bottle.

Ys,

SMDD

HpS/ASA - Thank you! We remember in one Translation like in the first few cantos that Srila Prabhupada directly writes, "Gandharvas (Fairies)". You can probably find it with a keyword search on Vedabase.Io.

💻 😯

Other than them, and for them, we just see considerable similarity in description of character, activities and abodes of:

• Trolls = Raksasas.
• Kusmandas = Imps.
• Nagas = Chinese Dragons.

We don't know the where the lists are but we see them again and again, maybe in places like the different species coming to take milk from Bhumi in 'Maharaja Prthu Milks the Earth' etc.

Maybe one Blog reader can give more suggestions!

I don't know about Harry Potter, but C. S. Lewis [?] with "The Lord of the Rings" et al was basing his beasts [?] on very traditional description. He was Oxford professor.

O.K.??? Try asking in one of the online classes if need too.🙂

Thank you!
