[edit] Etymology

Devanagari: अन्तराग्नि
Antarāgni (Hindi Antar: Within, Agni: Fire) stands for 'The Fire Within'. There is some controversy regarding the appropriateness of the name. In Sanskrit, the combination of 'Antar' and 'Agni' should give the word which may be pronounced as un-tur-ugh-nee while the current pronunciation is un-tur-aag-nee.
