Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Jai srimannarayana Bharathji! We usually call every person with a respectable term as sriman or sreeman. This is to say that they should always flourish with sri means good wealth. This wealth refers to physical wealth, monitory wealth or any potentiality in that sense. When we talk in terms of spirituality, this refers to the Divine Grace of Goddess Maha Lakshmi. Wherever Her Graces falls that becomes wealthy, right, so Sriman word is used there as well. You can call one as sripada which means the divine foot of the Lord. This person is like that lotus foot of the Lord, or something like that. But that is not much in use of Acharyas. The prefix you wanted to add before addressing a person, right!. It is so interesting. In fact, it is different when you address different persons. If it is a boy or a girl, you need to address them as chiranjeeva, if it is a married woman, she must be addressed sowbhagyavathi, if it is a widow, she must be ganga ka:ve:ri samanuralaina.. as a matter of fact, sriman/srimathi can be used to all irrespective of their status. =chinnajeeyar= Q) 1) Generally we call a devotee with " Srimaan " . What is the exact meaning of that " Sreemaan " . 2) Can we call a devotee with the prefix as Sripad. Like Sripad Ramana Garu Like that..... 3) What are the words does Sastra mentions that can be prefixed before a devotee's name when we are adressing (sambodhana) them... Please enlighten me.....In the service of vaishnavas, Bharath Radhekrishna.Chennu Vijayawada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
