Bhosadike.....
It may surprise you to know that the origin of the phrase "Bhosadike" is, in fact, an ancient Sanskrit greeting. "Bho Sadh Eke" meaning, "Sir, are you well?"
'Bho' is a term used for respectful greeting. Similar to Aho Jaise Bho Bho Balakah Shruyatam.
'Sadh?' is a prefix used for 'Good Things'. As in Sadh guru, Sadh bhavana, etc.
'eka' is a atmanepadi verb meaning 'To Be'. Other forms of this are:
ekatha ekethe ekanthe
ekase ekethe ektheve
eke ekaavave ekamehe
Hence "Bhosadike" was a popular form of greeting in ancient India before the Mughals invaded India & prohibited it for some reason.
However some steadfast Indians continued to use this greeting.
Therefore, to asassinate this greeting morally, the Mughals gave it profane and vulgar connotations, which unfortunately prevail even to this day ??.
It is time we revived our ancient Indian traditions heeding to the call of the purists to go back to our ancient way of life.
So say "Bhosadike" to all the people you meet and explain to them its true, pure meaning.
