Walter Mercado - Name Change

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:

    For as change is horror,
    Virtue is really stubbornness
    And only in the light of lost words
    Can we imagine our rewards.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    My love is fair, my love is gay,
    As fresh as bin the flowers in May
    And of my love my roundelay,
    My merry, merry, merry roundelay,
    Concludes with Cupid’s curse,—
    ‘They that do change old love for new
    Pray gods they change for worse!’
    George Peele (1559–1596)
