Perfectly correct, Shantambhai!

Certainly, Swami Bhorat will be following idea of giving western names to indian disciples.

He sends news that your new name is: Wayne Carr!

Beloved Stephen,

Thank you for your loving post. Master finds it most interesting, full of wind. And so do we.

The message is to carry on with the meditation. And you will find even deeper insights will simply happen. Not through thinking, but from another, very windy place…

Just like that!

Won´t it be “winds of change” when named changed westerns change back to their original face, original name. They are anyway back to the roots.

I am sure, in future some Indian master will again change the names of his disciples, but this time to western names. For example, Mohan becomes Mike, Sarla becomes Susy.

Giving Indian names to Indians has not worked much; giving Indian names to westerns has made them corrupt and double-tongued, the way Indian elites are.

Names are not names, they transmit cultural and social baggage too.

Hi Samarpan (23 November 2019, at 3:20 pm),

Grateful for your Bruce Menzies (aka Anand Murti)´quote; it surely makes a difference and may be also some healing antidote to the Netflix hype (?) and its after-effects.

One can listen to some interview with Bruce’s voice on fremantleshippingnews.com and I’ve gone halfway through it by now – as I before that remembered that Bruce had (times ago) a very short visit in Sannyasnews too, as a contributor (and I did like that!). Maybe ´our´ (caravanserai) lot had been a bit inspiring and I´m so glad he is not a cynic.

A fellow-traveller, Australien too, and working as a lawyer*, father of two sons and living close to some places where a few sannyas friends of mine have disappeared into, whom I lost contact with long, long ago.
The recording is technically difficult to listen to at my secluded (Apple) place here, but maybe for some of you better to hear, and I´d recommend it as it is encouraging on the balancing-ground.

Thanks, Samarpan.

Madhu

*P.S:
Love it that he is a lawyer, presumely worth his salt, I´d imagine (fantasize…) – and someone from the friends of THIS I would really like to meet here in Munich!

The winds of Change:
They too need rest
They too get tired from change.

Taking what comes internally and externally in our stride.

Ain’t this the truth?
We get to move through life taking what comes in our stride. Down-to-earth.

“There is a deep humility in seeing the world as it is and not as we want it to be. There is a profound relaxation when we accept ourselves as we are and cease to hankerfor what we are not. We are infused with an
absolute grace as we rest in the present moment and are neither preoccupied with our past nor fixated upon our future.”
