Dear Bhaktas: The discussion is turning out to be personal. Such personal remarks may please be avoided. Moderator ================================================== 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. -arulmari --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Fri, 28 May 2004 18:53:56 From: Srinivasan Iyengar <sriniv1410@xxxxxxxxx> To: srirangasri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: sriniv1410@xxxxxxxxx >Dear Patrons of this site, > >Namaskarams.
