Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Dear friends, What is the meaning of "Subrahmanya", one of the many names of Lord Skanda? Is it composed of the root words "Su" + "Brahma", indicating that He is the creator, which would fit in nicely with His role as the giver of children? Or it is "Su" + "Braahmanyam", i.e. loosely translating, the "Of the Good Brahmin" or Guru? Or it is "Subhra" + "Man", indicating His pure mind? Or, is there another meaning of this name altogether? Thanks for your guidence, Venkatarama Sreelatha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Dear Sreelatha ji, I have read it to be the second meaning, ie, 'Su' + 'Brahmanya', which denotes one who is pleasant to Brahmins (one who likes Brahmins), referring to the ideology of Brahminism here.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Mukund ji, How are you? I'm well, thanks for asking.
