Sumukhi - my Sanskrit name

which as Joan Suval says is my "original name"

I like that name - the name that we have beyond all names.

And when she gave it to me - and even before - Guru's Grace - I felt Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati's grace reminding me again and again to know who I really AM.

"Sumukhi" - means "the bright-faced, a face illuminated by the inner light of wisdom."

And Joan Suval explained that she always saw light in this face.   I can't see my own face - except when I look in the mirror or at pictures.  So it's nice that a few others see Light. 

hopefully, even through the shadows...

Infinite gratitude for our Great Guruji's never-ending, ceaseless, moment-by-moment LOVE -

Jai Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati ki JAI!
