Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 You asked : What does "Ashtotharasathanamavalis" means? Pls find my elucidation below: Ashta means the No. ' 8 ' Sahasra means '1000 ' Ashtothara means '1008' namavali means garland of names These are appellations fm the 'Sanskrit' Language of India. Hence ... Ashtotharasathanamavali - -means the list of 1008 names with which our Sai, Our Swami, Our Baba ( who is in u , beside u , above u , below u and around u ---Always ...in All ways ! ) is worshipped !! These 1008 names refer to various hundreds of 'attributes' of the Divine Sai Form ( like Comapssion, Love, Onmniscience etc etc ) But as Baba has often said that controversy over the point which is better or more imp is meaningless and unnecessary, for, as He says, when there are two pieces of "Barfi," one square, another circular, one yellow and the other purple in colour unless one has eaten and realised the taste of both pieces, one cannot believe that both are the same. Tasting, experiencing ... that is the crucial thing, to know the TRUE identity! Hope this enlightens u. Ram RAM RAM Thank you & God bless.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 It means 108 names of God. When do the chanting of the name you offer flowers/akshata each time you say the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
