Samay

In Sanskrit, Samay means "appointed or proper time, right moment for doing anything." On a general parlance, samay is a unit of time.

Meaning

In current usage, samay means "time" in Indian languages such as Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Gujurati and others.

In Jainism

Meaning

Samay represents the most infinitesimal part of time that cannot be divided further. The blink of an eye, or about a quarter of a second, has innumerable samay in it. For all practical purposes a second happens to be the finest measurement of time. Jainism however, recognizes a very small measurement of time known as samay, which is an infinitely small part of a second.

Measurements

The following are measurements of time as adopted by Jainism: Indivisible time = 1 samay
Innumerable samay = 1 avalik
16,777,216 avalik = 1 Muhurt
30 Muhurtas = 1 Day and night
15 Days and nights = 1 Paksha (fortnight )
2 Pakshas = 1 Month
12 Months = 1 Year
Innumerable years = 1 Palyopam
10 millions of millions of Palyopams = 1 Sāgaropam
10 million of millions of Sāgaropams = l Utsarpini or 1 Avasarpini
1 Utsarpini + Avasarpini = 1 Kālchakra (One time cycle).

Samay (band)

Samay are a band based in Leeds, UK, formed by musicians from India and Europe who take the traditional music of India and combine it with jazz, flamenco, samba, funk and chill-out.

Overview

Samay (mythology)

The Kumpo, the Samay and the Niasse are three traditional figures in the mythology of the Diola in the Casamance (Senegal) and also in Gambia.

Multiple times in the course of the year, i.e. during the Journées culturelles, a folk festival in the village is organized. The Samay invites the people of the village to participate with the festivity.

He can run very hard and with his stick he mandates strict order in the community. He knows everything that happens in the village.

He can be considered the ceremony master of the traditional dance event.

    Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own

    by: Sammie

    you don't get to tell your heart how to feel
    it does what it wants when it wants to
    all that you can do is pray that it lands in the hands of somebody true!
    and you don't get to tell your heart where to stay
    no it will not obey cause it knows the truth
    let's not confuse it! you try to prove it wrong
    but the heart has a mind of its own
    chorus:
    you can't run from the place that you belong
    cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
    before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    can't fight that burning in your chest
    you can't fight, feeling such a mess
    your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    you don't get to fall at the perfect time
    for someone love is ending, for someone else is just beginning
    someone is gotta cry, someone needs to know why
    but the heart tells no lies!
    and you don't get to tell your heart when it heels
    when it breaks like rock through shatter glass
    all you can ask is that the pain moves fast
    one day this too, shall last!
    by know i hope you know, it has a mind of its own!
    chorus:
    you can't run from the place that you belong
    cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
    before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    can't fight that burning in your chest
    you can't fight, feeling such a mess
    your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    it's so real, can't you see it?
    is the heart that really means it
    and the heart won't let you lie,
    it won't let love be defeated!
    sometimes is inconvenient,
    but the real truth is you need it
    cause the mind will leave you lonely
    chorus:
    you can't run from the place that you belong
    cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
    before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    can't fight that burning in your chest
    you can't fight, feeling such a mess
    your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
