Respected Arvind Ji,

 

Very Well said, wonderful observation and is indeed true. Ambaa's unique ways

of revealing Herself to the devotee cant be simply restricted to pure Vyakarana

of LS and in that sense the explanation of LS could spring from a different

route.

 

even during the lifetime of SIR, many very well read scholars did not

necessarily agree with His explanations, certain scriptures and these arose from

his True inner experience.

 

We are fortunate to have few members like these in our group.

 

Regards

expert. On the other side there is infinite scope for bhAvArtha, we

can quote from various sources and increase our bhakti through

rAsikhyam and bhAvam.

Dear Aravind:

 

That is indeed the goal of this discussion and the forum. We expect

that members share their insights into the names and how they apply to

their lives. At the same time it is important that we familiarize

with what the well known commentators have said on this topic. Many of

us may not be in position to do an exact grammatical analysis. But I

have found over time that one can get a better understanding of the

name by reading its meaning in Sanskrit. By reading and re-reading and

thinking about it, one can develop a good feel for the name. And there

are published translations to help us in this endeavour.

 

Thanks for your insight into this name and I found it very valuable.

Cultivating the feelings such as maitrI and karuNa towards other

beings is indeed a surest way to attain chitta shuddhi. And it is also

the natural course of action to be taken if one truly believes that

SHE is the indweller of all beings. Even if it takes time/lives to

achieve that in practice, it is something worth starting.

 

Thanks again and I wish you will write more often.

 

With best wishes,

Ravi
