Have you ever felt a drive , to find out the meaning of your identity to others ? Identity: as how people know me. As what I am to them. There I set out to find the meaning in me- My name: Saranya.
Saranya- one of the other names by which Goddess Durga is known to mankind.Saranya - one who gives shelter to those who come for help.
Sanskrit word- Saranyu , wife of Surya Bhagavan, chief solar diety. Saranyu , goddess of dawn and clouds who having turned herself into a mare is persued by Visvaswat(god surya) and becomes the mother of two Asvins, divine twin horsemen in the Rig Veda.
Saranyu - meaning quick , fleet nimble.
What is the significance of a name? When one is born, three names are whispered into one's ear according to the hindu tradition. Is name just an identity ? Till now, it was for me. I never had the urge to find out what my name means. Infact many dont even address me by my formal name. We have nick names, loved ones call us by different names. How significant is the name to your personality ? When one is born, how do we know that he/she is going to acquire certain qualities ? With a name like Saranya, am I expected to possess the quality of being protective ? I do not search for these answers, but I hope to discover them some day

I love you! :D

Hey,
I knew your name was part of a Sanskrit verse, one I was told to repeat often enough by Amma if I was to get excellent marks and stuff like that.
I believed her then and did all she told "religio"usly.
I guess when you are born knowing you are a pretty picture you really dont look too much into the meaning of names. But interesting read!
Anyways I have changed by blog so maybe you should update your site. It is http://littlegrownups.blogspot.com/
