Yogācārya T Krishnamacharya and therefore our family belong to a spiritual lineage called Śrīvaişnava-sampradāya. In this lineage, both the God and the Goddess are honoured together as equally important. It is a teaching to accept the polarity of this world, where there is not just one side, but always another side as well. And completion comes when we can honour different sides of the polarity and honour them as equals, thus transcending the trap of ego which usually likes to take sides. This mantra honours the timeless relationship between both the Goddess Śrī and God Śrīman Nārāyaṇa.
