What does Wah! ~ mean?

(Hindi) perfect, divine bliss
(Chinese) flower or joy
(Korean) energy, chi
(Japanese) peace, circle
(Vietnamese) harmony or flower
(Lakota) go, become
(English) wow!
The same meaning crosses many cultures.

I was given my name by a yoga master when I was 18. I was told it meant bliss beyond perfection. I didn't know what bliss was at that time in my life. A divine name is a catalyst; it often represents a hidden energy in you that needs to be uncovered. When people call your name, they activate the energy of that name. Everytime someone asked for 'wah,' I had to respond. The bliss in me was activated partly because people kept asking for it to appear! Wah is described in yogic texts as an indescribable peace, a joy beyond comprehension, an ecstacy beyond the senses. As my spiritual practice continues, I realise that my true nature actually has no boundaries, just like my name. I seek the essence of my name, tuning into the indescribable joy and peace that comes through spiritual purification.
