Re: Anahad O'Connor
in reply to a message by Cyndi
He's a man, born in the US, and it looks like the name might be something to do with Sikh scripture - there is no info on it as an Irish name and it doesn't really fit with Irish orthography.Quoting some random person on an internet forum, for what it's worth:
'...his name has a couple of thousand years of tradition behind it...and, as I am sure your knowledge of Sanskrit will inform you, the Sikh Guru (Guru Granth Sahib) was renowned for his wisdom and wise utterances. These wise, enlightened astral utterances utterances are known as 'Anahad' in the Sikh scriptures .Loosely translated into English it is the voice of Guru Granth Sahib that you can only hear when you have attained an extremely high level of enlightenment and while in a certain difficult yogic position not achievable by lesser enlightened followers.From which...I can only conclude that Anahad O'Connor is either a truly enlightened Psychology major from Yale University or his parents were hippy-dippy smells-and-bells whacked out Irish immigrants having a laugh at the expense of their newborn and 'interestingly named' child.'
