Dear Bhaktas:
The discussion is turning out to be personal.

==================================================

Dear All.,

the explanation given by Sri Srinivasan Swami is 
wrong.

In tamil the backside "puram" will be written with
periya "rra" and not chinna "ra" as it is written in
Gopuram. Hence, this cannot be the meaning.

It is very important to check the fundamental spelling
differences in tamil script before passing on meanings
(wrong meanings) to a large number of people in a forum
like this. 

The unfortunate thing is that such things do get propagated
and people accept it without questioning.

Let us not be responsible for the propagation of
wrong meanings.

thanks for your understanding.
