Hey all,

so i have some questions regarding some titles I've heard in Hindu culture. I was hoping some of you might help to clarify them for me.

Sri or Shri = ?

Acaraya = (I think this means one who leads by example, Like ghandi or S. Prabhupada ?)

Swami = ?

Guru = (I think the best translation for this is 'teacher', although I've heard others. And a Satguru is the 'highest' teacher, please confirm)

Namoh = (I think this means 'to bow down' or 'worship'

Jai = (I think this means 'Victory' ?), I think this is also what people say at various times during some temple practices, am I right ?

Devi = ?(As in Tulasi Devi)

Thanks everyone for your help, I am a student of languages and it would be greatly appreciated. I hope to someday learn sanskrit but that won't be anytime soon. Sounds like a pretty complex language.

Haribol
