The article begins "Maha Homam in Sri Chakra Yantra for Global Peace is being performed under the aegis of Sri Sri Sri Sadguru Shakti Swaroopananda Maharaj..." I have known of double-Sri gurus and swamis, but this is my first encounter with a triple-Sri. I wonder if there is an upper limit to how many Sris one can have before a name. If not, we could witness an outbreak of Sri-inflation. Quadruple-Sris, then Quintuple-Sris, then decade-Sris and score-Sris and century-Sris. And before you know it, we'll be witnessing mega-Sris and giga-Sris, perhaps even tera-Sris (although I think that would be excessive).
