Be-hosi
बेहोशी

also written: Behoshi
Meaning
Loss of senses and swooning unconsciousness, the heart so overcome by feeling that awareness fails.
Literally: senselessness, unconsciousness

Be-hosi is the swoon of one overwhelmed, senses lost in the grip of rapture or grief. In mystic verse it shades into the self-loss of be-khudi, the heart so taken by the Beloved that ordinary consciousness dissolves.
