AW: Hindu Names and meanings

[Guest guest]

Dear Ramji,

 

Hari Om! The sites you have pointed out are commercial. Besides, they do

not really give out the meaning of any name. Instead, what they are doing

is attributing some qualities to that name and commercializing them! I

wonder what made them arrive to certain personality conclusions just by the

first name. I personally belive these are not good sites to search for a

good name. There is a book called "Puranic Encyclopedia" where they have

compiled more than 200000 names and their *real* meanings, and the

characters of puranic people who lived by assuming those names.

Unfortunately, I can't find the reference on the Internet. However, there

is another book which I personally have a copy with me. It is really of

great help and there are lots of names in it. It is available from Amazon.

It is really a good book.
