Is it Necessary to Name a Child Correctly ? | Scientific Reasons | Sadhguru

Sadhguru looks at how children were named in Indian culture and tradition. He explains the scientific basis behind the choices, and how sound can influence the human system. Therefore, an appropriate combination of sounds was chosen, according to the child and the family's situation.
To understand this, if you know something about physics, If you feed a sound into an oscilloscope, a sound measuring instrument, depending upon its frequency, amplitude and other dimensions of the sound, it will give out a specific form every time. So a sound has a form attached to it. Similarly a form has a sound attached to it. So when you look at a sound human hearing happens only within a very limited frequency of sounds. It’s a very small range. There is a way to look at a sound.
Now when a child is born, depending upon the geometric situation of the solar system - there is also a way of considering the larger universe but that is too complex - at least considering the geometric situation in the solar system, people decide that this sound would be best for somebody who is born at this time on this day.
It is important to a certain extent. If you are in pursuit of liberation, the name that you utter… the sound that you utter becomes important. Because in Indian societies a lot more care was taken to name the male child rather than the female child because - not because… this is not a sexist bias - because you have to live with that guy. Because he is going to be around till you die. Now when you are dying, if you want to call your son, you call him Shiva - nice. If he is Sam, what to do? So the parents are concerned, we will be going on… because he himself may not use his own name often but we will have to utter this name again and again; what works for the geometry of the family. With a girl they don’t know what to name her because they do not still know who she will marry.
Till about twenty-five years ago for most women they changed the names at the wedding looking at the husband’s name, looking at the characteristics of his whatever, celestial geometry they would change the name to suit. Now that is considered derogatory. “Why should I change my name?” Not necessary. Because this has come… because everything has become exploitative, because of that resistance will come for everything. If it is conducted in a proper manner everybody would accept. When it’s not conducted in a fair and proper manner then it becomes a problem.

My parents are Buddhist. Our temple in China has a list of names that can be given to our children for generations to come. All that has been lost from my generation onward. The list of given names has been calculated generations before we were born. Decades ago, my mother had gone to a person who could calculate the history of our life to come because the person calculate our life based on astronomy, mathematics and the weather condition, time, day of the week and date of our birth. She did that and all the things that the person stated during that session were all true for my parents and all of us. They are very specific events for all those that is thinking that all those things could happen to anybody. Believe me when I tell you that the things that the person stated were not common things that will happen to any family. I am sure that art is no longer in existence which makes me very sad.

But.....the names which people find the most auspicious are given due to the meaning we have given to that sound. They're words with meaning. They're not even just names with a deeper meaning. So unless I missed something then we are not naming according to reverberations, but rather due to human alloted meaning to that sound. The explanation that males were given more ceremony and thought when naming because they were going to be around you till you leave this plane, makes zero sense. Again unless I missed something that is saying that females don't have any value to you/the family in the time she stays with you/the family. And then also has that "throw away" name discarded and given a new name, not according to her own being but rather to the male and his placement within the universe. To me this is contradictory to female energies and goddess worshipping, where the female is acknowledged and given respect. I often hear how archaic patriarchal values and norms are disregarded as wrong by simply saying "Modern society is so far removed from any spirituality and understanding that, this great tradition and spirituality of what seems oppressive but we say is spiritual, they see this as oppressive, and that's why they can't see passed their own ego to see this as enlightenment". I just dont buy this. Oddly I only see this angled used when trying to say let's keep practicing toxic patriarchy. Some things can change MOI.

[@shriyasridharamaiya9216]

Are you a feminist? :P When you analyse something as negative from the start, you're already biased to what it actually is. I think a few things were clearly missed/misinterpreted. Regarding meanings and sounds, a lot of names considered "good" or "sacred" in ancient India had not just good meanings but also good reverberations, example, Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna etc. Meaning is what we as humans gave it, for the existence as a whole, it's only the sound. And these sounds have a positive impact when you utter them, is what he meant. Secondly, regarding toxic patriarchy, he clearly said, when things are done in an exploitative manner, resistance comes up, when they are conducted reasonably and respectfully, it is accepted. He even says times have changed now. Back then, they married off the girl as early as 10-12 years, so yes, naming the girl wasn't considered important, hence the family she married into gave her a new name, according to their family characteristics, as she spent most of her life there, which does make more sense because she doesn't call out her name, people around her do. I'm sure here a part of it was unclear or unexplained, but I think they also considered the girl's horoscope for this purpose. Back then, there was a lot of importance given to kundli matching and marriage prospects. I'm sure this was considered too. Ancient Indian rituals, are afterall, extremely well thought out and thorough. And like you said, in a land where we worship Goddesses, patriarchy is indeed unacceptable. The ancient Indian culture did not discriminate against woman, it was all well thought of and for the good of the woman. It is the people who later changed it to make it exploitative.

@@shriyasridharamaiya9216 You start of asking whether I'm a feminist, as if feminism is a destructive agency, as toxic misogynistic patriarchy is. White feminism is toxic though, but that's another discussion. If you believe that feminism is toxic I think you need to go back and look at what feminism is, how strong it has been as a role player in the world's revolutions, shaping of societies and in basic human rights for people. Im not sure if you're a woman, but if your name is an indication of your identity then you are a woman, thus you have greatly benefitted from feminism fought by women to ensure your rights. In India feminism played a massive role in breaking colonialism. Poolan Devi for one was one of the fiercest feminists ever to exist. The same with other incredible Indian women. Thereafter you go on repeating what was said in the video. Now friend, I dont have a problem understanding what has been said in that manner; I can hear just fine. Lastly you end of actually agreeing with what I wrote....Hmmm. I think you have confused culture with spirituality. This is a common mistake. Spirituality does not oppress, other or otherwise differentiate in toxic ways. Culture on the other hand can do those things. Cultures are human made interpretations of a variety of things, including spirituality.

@@ts4686 @T S haha not bad, you did exactly what you accused me of doing :P But anyway, I have to admit, "Are you a feminist?" - was a wrong question. The right question was "Are you a pseudo-feminist?" The one where people speak of equality but expect unfair bias in situations where it is convenient for them, and yes, that includes white feminism as well. With actual feminism, of course, I don't have a problem. In fact, if my argument sounded so, I must justify, I'm one of those people who is strongly against misogyny and toxic patriarchy. But sometimes there's also a difference between these things and what the situation actually is. So understanding the difference is important - was my point. Your comment clearly didn't seem like you understood what he said, but anyway, if you have, good for you :) Though I don't think we agreed with each other in the end, if we had either you didn't understand me or I didn't understand you. I haven't confused culture and spirituality. In fact, you misunderstood my point, again. I'm saying the culture you speak of was tainted and changed according to the conveniences of people. There was no mention of that linked to spirituality. But in any case, in our initial/original culture, they were not mutually exclusive. Over time, it just changed according to the conveniences of people and patriarchal minds. Then the difference you speak of exists, culture being different from spirituality. The ancient Indian culture of conducting rituals for example, had a spiritual significance, women were allowed to conduct them also. Gradually that changed, women weren't allowed to do so later. So you see, they're not mutually exclusive but they were made so, by the later generations of people.

He said that as a joke...... but i think yes, his name might contain all sounds of the universe 😛

Nowadays you will live with your daughters as well as your sons. SO call them both with dignity and importance. I understand what he says, but don’t buy it, sorry. The daughter is also born under the stars and planets with their positions as is the son. SO both are important and should thus be called with care. (I suppose that this realisation made it as it is now) sadly Sadghuru only stresses the fact that the son should be well called. Not bashing/hating him he is a good man, and like his content. But I thought it would be nicer if he had stressed the importance of both. SO pls, don’t go tell me in the comments I’m a sadghuru-hater and all that nonsense. I believe Sadghuru has no problem truly with critical questions as long as they are polite.

[@TheArindamusician]

You missed the whole point . Girls used to get their names fixed during her wedding day because from then on , they would moved into new family. Definitely, not applicable in recent social scenarios.

[@snehareddy4904]

So sadhguru..naming a girl child is not importent ..bcs only the reason she marry a guy and go ...and she won't be with there parents in there old age,and they never call her ...thats why ..it is imp only to name a boy child correctly..wha!!! I respect you the most..but this speech is a bit hurting inside

Not really. He always says humans should have the freedom to live the way they want to. There’s no good or bad or right and wrong. Just different people with different beliefs. As to the way of living similar to him, it’s a process that not many are willing to follow. Just like many are not willing to follow Christianity or Islam because it’s just something they either can’t or don’t want to do.

[@advaya702]

You always have a choice to NOT FOLLOW what you think is not right according to you or your beliefs ... Why are you here than? To judge a mystic in negative way?
