' main menu About Us Our goal is to present information on Vedic religion that is both scholarly and religious. Devasthanam is the website of the Sanskrit Religions Institute. The expression deva-sthanam has two meanings. The term deva, as an adjective, means divine. As a noun it means God. The word sthanam means a fit or proper place. Thus deva-sthanam means both the divine place and the residence of God. The symbol indicates beauty, grace, and splendor. It also refers to the goddess of wealth, Laksmidevi. Transliterated it appears as Sri. Thus the name of this web site is Sri Devasthanam.
