Actor

A swami (स्वामी svāmī sʋaːmiː), sometimes abbreviated “sw.”, is an ascetic or yogi who has been initiated into the religious monastic order, founded by some religious teacher. It is believed to be originally used for the ones who were initiated into to the Advaita Vedanta movement, started by Adi Shankara. The meaning of the Sanskrit root of the word "swami" is "one who is one with his Self" ("Swa" stands for self) The usage of this word is not just for a yogi but also used for a religious guru, with or without disciples. The Oxford English Dictionary gives the etymology as In Bengali, the word (pronounced ˈʃami), while carrying its original meaning, has a dual meaning of "husband". The word also means "husband" in Malay, where it is spelled "Suami". "Swami" also means "husband" in Khmer and Odiya. The Thai word for husband, sami (สามี), is also a cognate of the word swami. ==References== Category:Honorifics Category:Indian culture Category:Titles and occupations in Hinduism Category:Sanskrit words and phrases
