Neohumanist College president should have Samskrta name

Baba

Neohumanist College president should have Samskrta name

Namaskar,

In this era of stark materialism, Baba's teachings on neo-humanism are a soothing balm for seekers yearning for a new outlook. And it is wonderful to see the great strides Wts and margiis are making on a daily basis in advancing those ideals. At the same time, there is always room for some improvement; by this way, we can become even better pracarakas of Baba's teachings.

Our Samskrta names carry great spiritual meaning; they are not just mundane terms. That is why Baba guides us to use them in all circumstances - not just at dharmacakra and our AM gatherings.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "The Sanskrit name should be used in all worldly dealings." (1)

At the Neohumanist College of Asheville (NC, USA), the young man acting as president and CEO works hard to ensure the institution properly manifests its stated ideals. So it would be a big plus if he would use / be given a Samskrta name as the top representative of this college.

So instead of using his birth / worldly name of Ricky Peterson, it would be a great step if he used a Samskrta name. That would help convey the idea that our neo-humanistic philosophy is truly something different from the materialistic norms in vogue nowadays; and, verily, using a Samskrta name is 100% in line with Guru's teachings.

Our gratitude to Mr. Peterson for his work, and, simultaneously, we invite our dear brother to implement this simple yet fundamental change. We thank him ahead of time for his understanding and cooperation.

in Him,
Sanjaya Deva
