I utilized the
Oxford English Dictionary when researching for my paper and it actually came in
rather handy indeed. In one of The Beatles songs they use a phrase “Jai Guru Deva om” and obviously I was unsure of the meaning, so step my
step I figured it out, using the Oxford English Dictionary to look up each word
individually! This is what I came up with…
"Jai" means "O Hail" or
"Victory to"
"Guru" means "Teacher"
"Deva" means
"God/Lord/Demi-God"
"om" some say is the source of all existence
that comes from vibration
So the phrase
ended up meaning, I give thanks to my heavenly teacher
