Samsara, more like Sansar (संसार) means World. One may want to escape the world but there is no negative connotation that I'm aware of.
I'm a Hindu and speak Hindi.
- nsenifty 5y agoSamsara is the correct Sanskrit (more like Samskrta) pronunciation and the original meaning is the endless birth and death cycle caused by attachment. The Hindi vernacular Sansaar indeed means the physical world just like Samsara in Kannada (and other Southern languages?) means Family. Both the world and family are due to attachment.
