Ask Osho!

How do you find new names for your sannyasins?

Synthesized from Source practice

"A name is merely a label; by shedding it, you begin to dissolve the boundaries of identity and awaken to the vastness of your nameless essence."

According to Osho, he uses his own unspoken system: playing with words, etymologies and meanings across languages, mythic resonances, and the seeker’s present state, to coin a fitting new name. Yet naming is only a device: by changing your label he loosens identification with name, then body, mind, and heart, opening you to the nameless witnessing consciousness.
He picks a meaningful, playful name that fits you, mainly to help you see your name isn’t you.
Why this matters practically
- Loosens attachment to ego and social labels.
- Trains you to witness beyond body, mind, and heart.
- Uses a simple ritual to spark inner transformation.
