Anonymous asked:
Since you're Asian, was there mythological or other reference you noticed in ATLA? Just curious.
Sure. Off the top of my head:
- Bhumi means ‘earth’ in Hindi.
- Agni means ‘fire’.
- Avatar is commonly translates into ‘reincarnation’ but it also means ‘manifestation’. In that sense, Aang is the reincarnation of the physical manifestation of the planet.
- My mom has studied Reiki so I was somewhat familiar with the concept of Chakras.
- Like Aang said, Guru refers to a spiritual teacher.
- Asura means ‘demon’. That could refer to Azula’s Machiavellian tendencies.
Can’t think of anymore now. :|
