hi i am santosh rallabandi. from ankisa ,tq.sironcha,dist.gadchirolil.Santosh (Hindi: संतोष), also spelled as Santhosh, is a common Hindu male or female name which is derived from the Sanskrit word "Santōṣa" or Santosha. Santosh means contentment. It is the second of the five yogic principles (Niyama) as listed by Patanjali and provides a foundation for selfless living, wisdom and peace of mind. Other meanings of the word Santosh are "Satisfaction", "Gratification" or "Happiness". In South Indian languages, Santosh, often means happiness. Depending on the region of usage, the variants of Santosh are "Santhosham", "Santhoshi", "Santhosha" or "Santoshi". Santosh or Santoshi is also sometimes an Indian female name.

In some parts of the country, people name their children 'Santhosh' in devotion to Goddess Santoshi Mata. It is common practice in India to keep a Santhoshi Mata Vratham (fasting) to please the Goddess. It is so believed that fasting and praying for her for 16 consecutive Fridays brings peace and prosperity in one's family.

Santosha (skt. संतोष saṃtoṣa, "contentment, satisfaction"[1]) is one of the niyamas of Yoga as listed by Patanjali.[2] Contentment is variously described, but can be thought of as not requiring more than you have to achieve contentment. It may be seen as renunciation of the need to acquire, and thereby elimination of want as an obstacle to mokṣa.

The alternate spelling samtosha is also seen.
