Japan possesses regions such as 'Hiroshima' and 'Fukushima' and 'Nagashima' and 'Tsukishima' and 'Sakishima' names which are very much related to the ancient language of Sanskrit.

 

'Shima' is a word within the language of Japan whose meaning is the 'border' the 'boundary' the 'island' its origin being 'Sima' a word within the language of Sanskrit meaning 'border' and 'boundary'.

 

'Shima' meaning 'island' is seen within 'Hiroshima' meaning broad ( hiro ) island ( shima ) and 'Fukushima' meaning blessed ( fuku ) island ( shima ) and 'Nagashima' meaning long ( naga ) island ( shima ).

'Tsukishima' is a name which means moon ( tsuki ) island ( shima ) and it may also be related to 'Suci' and 'Shuci' words within Sanskrit whose meanings are 'bright' and 'shining' and 'moon'.

 

'Kirishima' is a mountain within the lands of Japan and we may find that the 'Kiri' is very much related to 'Giri' a word within the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'mountain'.

 

Japan has many other regions possessing 'Shima' such as 'Hiroshima' 'Fukushima' 'Nagashima' 'Innoshima' 'Kagoshima' 'Tokushima' 'Iwoshima' 'Shimabara' 'Takeshima' 'Komatsushima' and many more.

Japan then transforms the 'Sh' into 'J' and 'Shima' whose meaning is 'island' then becomes 'Jima' whose meaning is 'island' and a suffix seen throughout the lands of Japan.

 

'Nekojima' means the cat ( neko ) island ( jima ) and there is a possibility that 'Neko' meaning 'cat' is cognate with 'Nakha' a word within Sanskrit meaning 'nails' and 'claws'.

 

Japan has 'Sakurajima' meaning cherry blossom ( sakura ) island ( jima ) and 'Takarajima' meaning treasure ( takara ) island ( jima ) and also 'Gajajima' 'Tairajima' 'Ukejima' and many more.

"During the first eight centuries of our era, so far as religion and art are concerned, central Asia was a sort of Indian colony. Its forgotten that in the early Middle Ages there existed a "Greater India" a vast Indian empire." Rene Grousset

 

”From Persia to the Chinese Sea, from the icy regions of Siberia to the islands of Java and Borneo, from Oceania to Socotra, India has propagated her beliefs, her tales, and her civilization.” Sylvain Levy, the famous French Indologist.

 

"India was China's teacher in religion and imaginative literature, and the world's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics, Arabian Nights, animal fables, chess and philosophy" Lin Yutang.

Well, initiation or no initiation, first thing is knowledge..... Initiation is formality. Just like you go to a school for knowledge, and admission is formality. That is not very important thing. (Srila Prabhupada, 16 October 1976, Chandigarh)
