Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 > Berijoy asks: > ok, it's high time i asked this question: what does "jai" mean, as > in "jai maa" JAI means "Victory to". So in this case it means Victory to the Divine Mother. This phrase has been popularized as a greeting - so instead of "Hello", we could say "Namaste", "Hari Om" or "Namah Shivaya" and of course "JAI MAA" In some places in India, they greet each other with "Jai Ramji ki" - Victory to Lord Ram. IMHO, this is a beautiful way to greet anyone - to first remember the Divine and then to relate with the person. Thanks for bringing up this question.
