Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Sat Nam ya'll, I've been offline for a little while getting my laptop de-wormed. I see there's been some chatter about Spiritual Names. Here's my experience for what it's worth. I decided at the first of the year that I wanted to apply for a Naming. It was in fact, the first piece of business I took care of in the new year. Sent off all the paperwork - nada. Then I decided that it all got lost in the mail or some such, so I did it again - mas nada. For some reason, after I came out of the hospital this last time, it didn't seem to matter much anymore. I feel like I came out of this latest experience with such a clear sense of myself that a Naming would almost be redundant. Does this make any sense to anyone, or am I just a heretic?(I've got Angry Villagers on speed dial!) Maybe it's just not a part of my path. Sat Nam, Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hello Leo, A friend of mine wrote to YB with some questions , including a request for a spiritual name. I had also requested one for her last year when I was at the Master's Touch.. She got a reply very quickly to her other questions, but got no spiritual name. She did have a dream in which YB told her that her name meant the ocean. She has never received a spiritual name and since it was requested twice we had to conclude she wasn't meant to have one. I use my spirtual name here., but not anywhere else because I feel my given name has great meaning for me. I feel my spritual name contains an important message for me, which hit me the moment I understood the meaning of the name, and it serves as a reminder when I'm liable to forget that message. How, ever my given name is the one I resonate with. So it just depends on the path one is following, doesn't it ?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Dear Leo.... Are you able to share with us, the clarity, you gained about yourself...from your last experience? Do you now have a sense of what your highest manifestation would be? What a world we would live in, if we began with some understanding of "who" we are and what our potential is!!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Sat Nam Leo & Avtar, I cannot imagine, that YB would not grant a spiritual name for somebody requesting it. I simply believe, that the request got lost and that you should perhaps call. Mine was granted also pretty fast, also later on the ones for my wife and the kids. As you already mentioned: The spiritual name contains a message, the description of your true nature - and I am particularly proud of mine. Nevertheless in 'normal' daily life I am using my given name as this is the one the people around me are used. The spiritual name is just being used in the spiritual world..... Blessings and love from Shanghai, Adarsh S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Dear Adarsh, I don't believe for a mintute Yogi Bhajan would refuse to grant a spiritual name, and I agree the requests somewhow got lost. But why ? Things like that happen for a reason. In fact I had an email corrospondance with 3ho about the request for my friend's name that I submitted, and when that went nowhere she wrote herself and asked. She did get a reply to her her questions, but no name ! When one gets a blank wall like that, and one is following a spritual path the time comes when one needs to accept what has become obvious. For whatever reason, she wasn't meant to have one, at least not at that time. Blessings, Avtar ______________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
