Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hi All, A short while ago the meaning of "Valampuri" was questioned. I checked the Apti Sanskrit dict. and found it means "spinning opposite". I also asked India's most decorated Sanskrit scholar, Prof. Dr. Satya Vrat Shastri, Padma Shri, about the secret meaning of Valampuri... Are U all ready for this...??? Here is is his reply... 'Valampuri is the name of a village in Tamilnadu in South India near Rameswaram. The Sankha found from there is named after it---Valampuri Sankha." Now that is the DEEP meaning!
