I decided my username 'exdancer' was too negative so I changed my publicly displayed name to 'Satya,' which means 'truth' in Sanskrit. Hope this doesn't lead to any confusion...

More information about the meaning of satya:

Satya is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates into English as "truth" or "correct". It is a term of power due to its purity and meaning and has become the emblem of many peaceful social movements, particularly those centered on social justice, environmentalism and vegetarianism.

Sathya is also defined in Sanskrit as "sate hitam satyam" which translates to "The path to ultimate truth or Sat is sathya (i.e. the real truth)".

Hence all the deeds, words, and wisdom that takes closer to the Ultimate Truth are the truth.

The accepted interpretation however, is "the Truth which equals love." This concept of truth is not merely a synonym of fact or correctness, but is more metaphysical, like the difference between brain and mind. This 'bigger picture' notion of truth implies a higher order, a higher principle or a higher knowledge.

I felt that the word was relevant to Lymies and our movement to uncover the 'truth' about chronic Lyme, as well as provide social justice for its sufferers. It also represents our individual journeys to a greater mind-body connection and purification.
