Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Hi everyone and Namaste Is salutations a good trananslation of the word Jai or is there a more accurate defenition? Is Jaya different than Jai? Any info on this would be much appreciated as we are thinking of using Jai as a possibility for a baby name!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 "Jaya" (in Sanskrit), or "Jai" (in modern Indian languages -- local variants include "Joi" and "Jey") originally meant <victory>. Parvati Devi is often shown with two girlfriends named Jaya and Vijaya -- meaning The Victorious, and The Conquering. Lord Indra's eldest son is named Jayanti, meaning Victor. But when used in prayer, "Jaya" usually has the same connotation as English "Hail." -- Kalipadma On Wed, 31 Oct 2001 13:52:38 "jagadheep D" <jagadheep writes: > Dear Barrie, > > >Is salutations a good trananslation of the word Jai or is there a > >more accurate defenition?

Thanks, Barrie I do not know the exact translation of Jai, but Jai Ma means Hail the Divine Mother (Ma means mother, but when we sing bhajans, we usually mean the Divine Mother). As far as keeping Jai as a baby name goes, I have a friend whose name is Jaiganesh, who is called Jai. Jagadheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Namah shivaya 'jai' actually means 'Victory' similar to 'Jaya'. So 'Jai Ma' will mean victory to the Divine Mother . it can also mean 'salutations to Mother' or 'Hail Mother'. bala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 jai has always been a very powerful exclamation for me. i'm not sure of the text book definition but it is a proclimation of victory, for example one might shout it out after a hero comes home victorious from a terrible battle.
