nair-ji !

 

Thanx fotr your input on 'sri'

 

Looks like great minds think alike ! Subramaniyaji thinks like you ,

you think like me ! what can we say ! howver, i guess certain things

are worth 'repeating' and remembering'

 

A big smile!

 

( While addressing people, we normally use ShrI for men and

> ShrImati (Abbr. Smt.) for women. The male ShrI is actually a

short

> version of ShrIman. Sunderji, your thoughts are invited.)

 

i almost said the same thing in my post which appeared prior to your

post

 

 

SrImAn - ONE OF THE NAMES OF SRI Vishnu

 

a) One who is endowed with wealth.

b) One who is full of all glories.

c) One who is radiant.(sri kantha)

d) The Lord of MahAlakshmi(sripathi)

e) One who has MahAlakshmi in his vaksha-sthala. (SRINIVASA)

f) One who is endowed with all the powers.

 

For instance, you never ever say 'vaishnavism' - you always say 'sri

vaishnavism' - this is out of respect for everything in the sri

vaishnavism tradition is because of 'sri' - the goddess of WEALTH(

BOTH MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL WEALTH) ! SHE IS sRIDEVI AND

HER 'SUKTHAM' IS CALLED AS SRI SUKTHAM !

 

The great wisom is called 'sri vidya' for it is considered the most

auspicious wisdom . Dev's yantra is therefore sri yantra , devi's

chakra is sri Chakra - for they ARE ALL AUSPICIOUS.

 

IF YOU HAVE 'SRI' IN YOUR HEART, YOU have everything ! For all

worldly wealth is transcient , Goddess alone is permanent - our

beloved Nitya sri !

 

When you refer to great scriptural texts , you say Srimad Bhagwat

Gita , Srimad bhagwatam .... ETC ...

 

WHEN YOU REFER TO A MARRIED LADY, YOU SAY SRIMATHI!
