About our site name : SRI AIM
As there is one Vedic Pranav which is chanted as “AUM“, there are five Pranavas in Tantra Sastra. Out of these five, “AIM” is one which signifies the Goddess of Wisdom and knowledge derivable from various arts, sciences and technologies. Goddess Saraswatidevi or Saaradadevi is the Vedic goddess from whom all types of knowledge including spiritual wisdom can be obtained by worshipping Her in various ways. In Mantra Sastra theses are called “Beeja-aksharams” or mono-syllables. “SRI” is also such a beeja-akshara. A seed has an enormous inherent capacity to generate plants or trees in all-conducive conditions. Same way, these monosyllabic seed-sounds are capable of producing a specific sacred energy that helps in the upliftment of a spiritual seeker under the able guidance of a traditional guru who himself is an enlightened one.
“sriaim” quintessentially implies the sublime arcane scientific art that is revealed both in the Vedas and the Tantras and other allied subjects. It is surely not the primary theme of “sriaim” to deal with any esoteric sciences or arts. “sriaim” mainly aims at introduction and illumination of the role of spirituality, vedic rituals, personal spiritual practices such as daily worship of Chosen Deity, various arts and sciences of Indian origin, literature in general, aesthetics and so on.
