Chapter 15: Spiritual Name🔗

When somebody calls out, ‘John’ or ‘Jill’, immediately, unconsciously, the attention of John or Jill is drawn and the person looks to see who is calling him or her. This is how deeply our name has been embedded in our unconscious. Your name can be a powerful technique for realizing yourself.

Another important thing is that whenever someone calls out your name, you suddenly become conscious and aware of yourself. You must have experienced a situation such as sitting in a big classroom and suddenly, the teacher calls out your name for some reason. Whether you were dozing off or listening to the teacher, you will break from that thought pattern, and you will be jolted to the present place and time.

The new name which I give, this spiritual name, is to constantly remind you to mother the psychological revolution which has happened in you. You constantly mother the new life, the new understanding which has happened in you. Constantly you remember it. That is why I give you the new name.

A name has a tremendous influence over our state of mind. The spiritual name indicates the spiritual path of the individual according to his or her innate nature, which will lead to the ultimate flowering of the individual and actualization of his or her potential.

You see, if at all your name can be used towards your spiritual growth, that is the best thing, because the whole day from morning till night, either you will be using it for yourself or somebody else will be using that name for you. Then understand, every moment becomes a spiritual practice. If the right word from the right master is given to you as a technique, as a name, every time it is repeated, you are entering into the higher consciousness. Every time you understand and remember the meaning of it, you are in a different plane.

People come and tell me, 'The spiritual name you gave me is so beautiful. Whenever I remember that name, I am fulfilled. Whenever I meditate on its meaning, I am just overflowing.' The name can take you to the deepest level.

One more thing, any other word is only an addition to you, but your name is the center of you. Your name is the center, everything else is an addition. That is why in the vedic tradition we use only some god's name. We have, for every god, 1008 names, sahasranama. Sahasranama is used for two different purposes. One is to address the gods and deities; the other is to pick up names for your kids. Our elders would try to find the appropriate name. They would see the family deity and the nakshatra of the child and refer to the sahasranama to find out the right name. The name is so powerful, it can take you beyond the mind.

To be a Nithya Spiritual Healer, you are required to change your name legally to your spiritual name given by Paramahamsa. 4. Once you have relaxed into yourself, drop my laughing face and feel only the boundless energy.
