In a recent post welcoming our new member ni dios ni amo, I asked what his/her name meant. Chanahari then commented:
QUOTE (Chanahari @ Mar 7 2005, 07:56 PM) We could start a topic on this question. Some names make me curious as to what does they mean.   Many of our members have picked creative names, some in esoteric languages not known to common mortals  This is a thread where we can explain the meaning of our member names, and also tell why we have picked this particular name.To start with myself: dhyAna means "meditation". It is the first part of my initiated name in ISKCON, Dhyana-kunda dasi. I liked my name. It refers to a pond in Vrindavan, where, as my spiritual master explained, Krishna used to go to meditate on Radha when He was missing Her. The pond no longer exists but is mentioned in some old topographical documents about Vraja area. -------------------- Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. (Einstein)
