And also a name of Devi of course... Max >SVAHA.SVA- means in sanskrit: Self. HA is the last letter of >sanskrit alphabet.Normally, this is the last sound we make when we >die (give up the ghost).One of the meaning of SVA-HA, is " total >surrender " , giving totally oneself to Tara,offering oneself to Tara >Devi. -- Max Dashu Suppressed Histories Archives http://www.suppressedhistories.net New: Women's Power DVD http://www.suppressedhistories.net/womenspowerdvd.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
