jalamu is different from jaalaamu.
And jaalamu generally strikes a meaning of samoohamu; not a trick.
The meaning trick comes with a few words only. The more popular
meaning is samoohamu.

I do not think so. Bhavam is generated from the root "bhava" ( puTTu ,
janminchu ). Bhavam => what was born in mind, buddhiki taTTinadi/tOchi
nadi.

Looks like a far fetched meaning. More so because of misinterpretation
of the word bhavamu.

Bhavajaleekudu may be more or less ok with the meaning assigned.
But I object bringing Spiritual leaders into this catagory because
they are NOT trying to trick us; but trying to educate us.

As I wrote a few days ago, often, words can be interpreted
to produce more than one meaning. May be some of the interpretations
are not so accurate. But, what counts is the meaning that sticks.
Bhavajalam refers more to a collection of thoughts or so than any
thing by rooDhaartha.

I doubt whether my disagreement counts with some, but cloning a meaning

No. There is a difference. jaalam refers to gross collection and not to a
series. No order of things is implied by the word jaalam.

I am not a Cutlural Guru in the above list, but unfortunately couldn't
resist the temptation to write. I beg to be excused. I hope all of us
can post view points, if I'm not wrong.
