What’s in a name ?

A name is something many people try to live down or live up to. Your name is your unique identity and having an exceptionally great name is something very few get to enjoy … lucky few like you. 😉

Your first name Adi names you a pioneer ( the first or the beginning). The literal word meaning is “the one in front”. You are one who blazes a trail and walks first.
Chakravarthy names you a conqueror, the king of kings, an emperor. Become a king of people’s hearts and a conqueror of every fear and every submissive feeling.
Your given name Aditya stands for the Sun god; the creator and sustainer – the Lord of light who heals and strengthens all beings ; the permanent source of energy – the Lord of days, the destroyer of darkness ; and the restorer of everything vital, the remover of cold and frost – the most powerful being man can see.

You are not a Nate or a James … you are Adi; and your name symbolizes your ancestry; a culture that existed more than 5000 years before Christ. Your heritage is not a mere few hundred years old like many of your peers in the US; yours is an ancestry that dates back thousands of years to the Indus Valley times. You have within you the sparks of a civilization where sages who were akin to gods wrote about the secrets of universe while still in caves ! Having that kind of ancestry proclaimed in your name is rare, so carry it with honor.

When you introduce yourself pause and say your name with pride and confidence. Pronounce it flawlessly. You are A-dhi-thya or Adi- Chak- ra -varthy ; it’s not any more complicated than a Mark Zuckerberg and if someone mispronounces it , correct it. Patiently. But correct it you should, because your name has a meaning. And every time you are called by your name ; you are being asked and given the authority as well – If it is Adi ; then fearlessly go ahead and walk first – when you are called Aditya be the source of light and energy; the sustainer and the destroyer depending on the situation. When you are called by your full name you are hailed as a conqueror and emperor. So make sure your name is always pronounced correctly.

Words have power Adi my love , and everyone calling you by name is giving you that power as well , knowingly or unknowingly. Every time your name is called you are being blessed and anointed; the multitude of people who have already called your name have poured their favor on you and many more who will come into your life will do so in future. No one else but you deserve the majestic name you have been given. You deserve to be called the Sun, the first, the emperor, Aditya Chakravarthy. Live up to your name every day Adi my son!
