Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Does anyone know the meaning of the word Rai? It is part of the Spiritual name I was given recently. Raghu Rai Kaur. I am told the name means Princess who dwells in the domain of God. I have been able to find some information on the word Raghu but not Rai. Willowmina Quote
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Dear Raghu Rai Kaur, here is some info i found: Cappeller Sanskrit English Dictionary says: rai: Meaning m. (f.) possession, wealth, riches. raghu: , f. {raghvI3} running, swift, fleet, light; m. runner, courser; N. of an ancient king, pl. his race. (from: http://www.uni-koeln.de/phil- fak/indologie/tamil/cap_search.html ) Although the dictionary is Sanskrit and not Gurmukhi it may help you as well.... Also note that the 7th Sikh Guru was named Guru Har Rai: 7. Guru Har Rai (1630 - 1661): The 7th Sikh Guru advocated Sewa (selfless service) and took it to common man.
