Guest guest Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Not at all pesky, very far from that. We see it as sincere seeking.. Sounds like a good job for brother Rajaty in North India and Jen Polan currently in South India. I'm being rather lazy tonite so I'll let them both Wise Souls answer this one. They will do a better job than me in this regard. Let's wait to hear from them..... Gotta go now, see ya around agin soon.

What does this mean and when would one use Sri or Shri or are they interchangeable? I know that when things are put into English letters they might be written different ways. I have seen Murugan's name written Murukan before. And I have seen Hindu as Hindoo too. So, are Sri and Shri the same or different, and when are they used?Also, can someone explain to me the addition of ji or i on the end of certain names. Sometimes I will see this and it seems almost like a signal of devotion. For instance, in Brasil you might say Ricardinho instead of just Ricardo. Or in Spanish I have seen them say Miguelito instead of Miguel. My name is Bill, but some people might say Billy. I am asking this about Rajat too. Since he is often Rajaty-Boy to SY. It's a cute kind of thing. But do these -ji and -i endings which suddenly appear on normal names indicate this or something else?Thanks, BillDo You ?
