Re: [sv-rituals] Re: Significance of NAmam

Maybe the sender of the mail (reg use of namam as derogatory)
must have made the comment because of the 'general usage of Namam
The word 'Namam' is used in a derogatory sense by the general public
in tamil nadu.and is used when one has been cheated by someone else
Similar reference is with names like govinda-govinda  etc.This kind
of practice reg the inappropriate usage has to be curbed.
