No, thats a Schwan.

I wrote wrongly...Not Goose...Hansa in sanskrit is a Swan...considered a king of birds and quite majestic...

I dont know why goose was stuck in my head....

and I corrected myself in the post you quoted...Luft is aerial...Not specifically flying in both german and sanskrit..


On a sidenote, do you have cranes in india? Maybe thats why we have this misunderstanding here.
 
Umm, can't reveal much info here yaara. Hope you understand. :-)

So you have soldier's blood in you! Didn't you try for the Army as well?

You showed your photograph on the Web & you can't even tell what are you studying or do for a living ? :unsure:

I mean I know that you work at the Gentlemen's club as a part-time performer but thats just about it ! :undecided:

No I didn't try for the Army - the family was opposed to it plus I'm slightly asthamatic so I would've probably been shot-down at the selection stage !:(

Pardon my intrusion, but I've not come across any Sanskrit word for flying/flight/air which is cognate with Luft, not that my Sanskrit is any good. But which Sanskrit word are you refering to here?
 
Hansa = Goose in Sanskrit and German...

Fan = You know the meaning....

FanHansa = Bird that flies the fans (of the world cup)

Even Luft Hansa is basic Sanskrit
Luft = Flying in Sanskrit
Hansa = Goose

LuftHansa = Flying Goose
Hansa is SWAN in sanskrit

The word Luptha...I remember the word as indicating aerial or flying if you will...

I took 3 years of Sanskrit...and my memory hasnt gone completely to the dogs yet

No, thats a Schwan.

Just so you dont think that I pulled this our of my ***....Here is someone else on the web agreeing with me...It seems to be someone from the airline itself

What is the meaning of the Lufthansa logo

I can still show my pics, precisely because it cannot be traced back to my identity. I can have a face a still be nobody. But once I'm somebody and someone decides to teach me a lesson......:fie:

My best friends cannot stand the sight of my beer-belly. The patrons at the Gentlemens' Club will sue the owners if I ever set foot topless there.:laugh:

I wanted to try for the Army, but didn't. A big mistake in hindsight, I feel now.:(

Luptha means concealed or hidden. It does not have any meaning that is connected with flight or air. And I too took Sanskrit....for 5 years.:D

Im quite certain we do....They are called Saras in India..

Sarus crane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Let me explain why the crane is the symbol for Lufthansa and why its so important in germany. The crane is the most elegant bird we know.

The pair dances and stays together their entire life.

They get very old. 60 - 80 years. And if one dies the other will never have another mate again. He rather stays alone than betraying his dead partner. In each autumn the cranes leave germany. They go in large swarms and fly in a V-formation.



When they leave they call and you can hear their calling when they fly over you. People knew in old times that this means winter is coming. Hard times are ahead but they will come back and with them comes the spring.

They represent evrything positive for us. Love, loyality, trust, elegance, freedom and hope.

2 years ago we had the problem that we had a snowfall in may and the cranes were forced to do an emergency landing not far from my town. Some were injured. The firefighters even came and brought the injured ones to the vet and helped them. Local farmers came with trucks full with corn and feed them, till evrything was ok. So you see, its an important thing in our culture.
 
German Bahn sounds like vahan(vehicle). :D :D

Yes. It is indeed speculated to be a cognate-word with Vahana....Not just that, the German word for tyre, Rad, is also a cognate with Ratha.

Well German and Sanskrit both come from a proto indo-germanic ancestor language.
