Guruji and GuruAmma in front of Devipuram

128. Sādhvī


Sādhu means a sage. Sādhvī is a sagely woman.

If we consider the letter meanings, according to the Śiva Sūtras: 

  • the letter Sa stands for sattvaguṇa

  • the letter dha of yoni and 

  • the letter va is amṛta or nectar. 

Thus this combination implies the derivation of nectar from the source of the universe, the womb of the universe, mentally, through a contemplation on the last sound ‘ī’.
