Namaste

Your post is really great. Think of Swami's name: Satyananda= "the

Bliss of Truth". This name was given to Him by His Guru when He had

attained a certain mastery of the teachings, and also, the name serves

a statement of the goal of one's existence. Sat= TRUTH, ANANDA= bliss

Living a live dedicated to TRUTH, to become absorbed in TRUTH, one

will become totally blissful, and, if one becomes blissful through

one's practices, one will speak and live TRUTH always and they will

radiate love, purity, and harmony to all creation.

So, a name can state a goal and an totally fulfilled state of life,

all based on TRUTH.

This really helps me keep my mind and heart on TRUTH. I really want

to help this world, this entire universe, be harmonious.

Thanks for your thoughts. Keep it up.

Jai Maa Jai Swami
