Queen - I Want To Break Free (Official Video)

I want to break free! मोक्षः(mokSaH)





One of the most over used word in the world. मोक्षः(mokSaH).


मोक्षः(mokSaH) has multiple meanings but its mostly about getting detached from something or getting released or even a discharge from debt and liberation.


Mostly think the word मोक्षः(mokSaH) has a "holy" undertone but nope my dear..words are neutral. Only when we personalize it we start to feel its holy or unholy.


Let me give you an example:


What do we call a escape from a prison in Sanskrit?


कारागृहात् मोक्षम् (kArAgRhAt mokSam).


Well unless the prisoner escaped prison to run to a secluded spot to meditate and start an ashram, I do not think there in anything holy in the act.


Anyway today's lesson was just about मोक्षः(mokSaH)..it all depends what we are trying to break free from but Freddie Mercury surely described मोक्षः(mokSaH) well in his classic hit.
