Thank you, Linda, for your personal story about your "interim" name.

In a way, I feel that Radha may or may not be an interim name for

myself as well since it "popped up" in meditation at Amma's Rhode

Island retreat last summer. She did not give it to me Herself...or

did she? ;-) When it happened I thought to myself (gleefully),

"Well, that's one less request I need to make of Amma in person!" I

have been plagued by doubts every so often, however, though some

input from Dawn recently re-committed my energies to the name.

Nevertheless, I may ask Amma for a name next summer -- and see if

what she tells me coincides with my love of Radha and Krishna!

Much love,

Christine Radha

Dear Steve ~ I hesitated to post this before because this is not a

name that I got from my guru, but I will share the story anyhow,

especially since I intend to ask for a name this year. I think my

sister was tired of me not having a name, so she gave me one, Vimali.

She told me that this was the Energy of Gayatri, and since I love the

Gayatri mantra, it seemed wonderful. Yet I have chosen not to use it,

because, well, actually, my sister is what I once heard Swamiji

refer to as an (my) upa guru ~ the guru that leads you to your guru.

Since she has led me to Amma, Karunamayi and Shree Maa and Swami,

maybe that does give her some sway to give me an interim name. : )

Jai all upa gurus, Jai all gurus, Jai are para gurus, Jai all

parapara gurus, and so forth ~ Linda P.S. Perhaps I will start

using this name until I get an "official" one.
