Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Dear Sadhu Maa, > I am so confused about who Kumar, Kumari and Ty_Maa are? to unconfuse you: ;-) I'm Kumari. Tanmaya and I use the ty_maa nickname which means 'thank you Maa'. Kumar is another member. "Kumari" is feminine form of the Sanskrit word for the Divine Mother as a young girl. "Kumar" is the masculine for the deity as a young boy. Hope that helps, Love, Kumari , "Sadhu Maa" <sadumaa wrote: > > I am so confused about who Kumar, Kumari and Ty_Maa are?
