To add to article

To add to the article: the etymology of the name "Meru." 173.88.241.33 (talk) 05:33, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

the Hare Krishnas have a "Mount Meru" according to the cosmology described in their sacred scripture, Srimad-Bhagavatam. On one of their sites when I pointed out there is a Mt Meru near Nairobi in Tanzania boy oh boy did the proverbial hit the fan! They have a general loathing of western acadamia and very little respect for universities, encyclopedias and other "official" sources of information. I found it quite amusing that they were so offended by the suggestion that their sacred mountain could be in Africa - but I think it is worth mentioning here as a possible etymological source for the name. Btw I have no idea what Meru means in Sanskrit or Swahili. Wokepedian (talk) 06:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fwiw, goo translate doesn't give a result for Swahili Meru. Well... it does. "Meru". Great help, thanks for that, goo. Wokepedian (talk) 13:59, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
