Can anyone translate anyone of the following phrases to Sanskrit?
I know its a lot to ask but if anyone can translate or give some good websites with already translated phrases or nice tattoos. Thanks.

1. For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying.

2. Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul.

3. Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor them; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.

Hi, KML1002!

I seem to have had some reasonably good success using the following site. Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit (http://www.spokensanskrit.de/) I do wish that we had a designated expert here in translating words, names and phrases into Sanskrit. However, every once in awhile, there are a couple of people that show up who really know their stuff about translating written names, words and sentences from other languages into the written Sanskrit. Hopefully, someone like that will come along and notice your post.

You may have to try the site above in the different ways that are available and maybe also try some things that are suggested on it in order for you to be successful.

There is also another site that you could try. It would be the following one. Free Online Translations to Sanskrit, Hindi & Marathi for Tattoos, Names & Sentences (http://freetranslationblog.blogspot.com/)

I think that the guy that runs it is the same one that comes around here, now and then, to answer very finely concerning questions like the one that you have.

It's my understanding, that there is also a way to contact people on either site to get help.

If this is for something permanent, like a tattoo, then I would recommend that you get a least several opinions concerning the translations.

Thanks!
