Spoorthi Meaning What?

I understand that many people would've found it difficult. That is why, I chose to blog about it. Spoorthi, which could be spelled as Spoorthy, for me, means fulfillment.Some people might call it 'positive fulfillment', others might call it 'abundant life', many might just equate it to 'inspiration'. Spoorthi meaning, ultimately, remains same in each of the versions or definitions.

The word Spoorthi comes from Sanskrit. Spoorthi meaning is usually poetical inspiration, blooming, display or manifestation according to the Sanskrit language. It's same as the aforesaid meanings, either way.

Spoorthi is not to be confused with sphoorti. Often, I've come across people telling that it's sphoorti, and not spoorthi. But spoorthi is about inspiration, sphoorti is about energy. I like to tell them that spoorthi can include sphoorti, but sphoorti is mostly about physical prowess.

Also, poorthi might mean almost the same. Poorthi means supply, or satisfaction. Spoorthi and poorthi, then are very similar. But in Sanskrit, if we had a half sound of 's' before a name, it usually enhances the meaning in a positive way.

Personally, I didn't know about the word poorthi, but after knowing more, asking more, I just realized the word exists. However, spoorthi sounds a lot more positive to me. It has a different sound that attracts me. Also, the meaning from Sanskrit, poetical inspiration, is beautiful.

Soon, we'll have someone else talking about the name, hopefully.

Couple of Yogis

The crime lies in the mind.
A couple of yogis were there on a river side. One girl came and asked them to carry her to the other side of the door.
The first yogi replied "we can't even look at women, forget touching and carrying them in arms".
The second yogi carried her in his arms and took her to the other side.
A few days later, the first yogi questioned "don't you think you did wrong that day by carrying that girl in your arms? Aren't you ashamed?"
The second yogi replied thus "I left her at the other side of the riverbed. You are still carrying her"
The truth is we do need an open mind and a free perspective.
Not my story, but someone else's, don't know whose.
