It comes from the Sanskrit shloka ( a shloka can be loosely translated to a "verse"), which goes "Ahimsaa paramo dharma" meaning non-violence is the highest moral virtue.
It is a phrase mentioned several times in the hindu epic, Mahabharata though it became popular because it was used by Gandhi during the non-violence movements for independence of India.
I changed the shloka a bit to make it the opposite of what it originally meant which I thought was kind of silly, I guess, I dunno-
So, my url literally means "Violence is the highest moral virtue" :p
The Ambani family has always been the epitome of luxury. From their parties to their ultra-luxurious weddings, the business family doesn’t shy away from going extravagant.
We desire of savitar, the god, this fortune much to be enjoyed,
The best, all yielding, glorious gift of bhaga we would gladly win.
Savitar, the god, send us far away from all the mourning and tragedies,
Send us only what is good.
He Surya narayan, uttam sukho ki asha h hame, bhaga dwara pradatta Vijay hmari ho.
Saare ashubh ki hamse dur rkhe aur sara shubh hmare antar m vaas kare.
Savitar is a Vedic diety. He is an Aditya (son of Aditi). Several times he is put synonymous to Surya Narayan while others, he is distinguished. From what I've read, savitar is sun before it rises above the horizon and it become Surya as soon as it becomes visible. So generally savitar is regarded as God of motion in a way.
