Name Change

In October 2010, Mercado announced that he would now be referred to as "Shanti Ananda," a translation in Sanskrit of "peace happiness." He says a "being of light" imparted a spiritual revelation to him, which he refers to as his "authentic mystic name." He is planning to write a book in 2012 under this new name.

Famous quotes containing the word change:

    If you live in Europe ... things change ... but continuity never seems to break. You don’t have to throw the past away.

    I will not change my horse with any that treads but on four
    pasterns.... When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk; he
    trots the air.
