Suvrata Nirupa Sri Om
Namaste. This is Uma, sharing a bit about my spiritual background.
Chosen Silence
If I were to speak openly about my spiritual experiences — especially of Her presence in my life — I could probably write an entire series about them.
Yet, I have now chosen silence.
In the past, whenever I shared such experiences publicly, they often led to rumors and misunderstandings. When society is ready, She will find Her own way to reach people. I do not need to force anything.
Guru Mantra Experience
Though I have chosen silence in many matters, there is one experience I wish to share. It was the culmination of my spiritual journey.
I once chanted a Guru Mantra shared by Sage Om Swami in one of his books. I approached it without expectations — only with reverence, love, and curiosity.
Soon afterward, I had a vivid dream.
An unknown sage appeared before me. He was seated outside a house in some remote place. As I looked towards him, a dark cloth — almost like a blackboard — appeared between us.
Upon it was written a single word:
Nirupa
Nirupa...
To the best of my knowledge, I had never come across or reflected upon this word before that dream. Yet, I accepted it with gratitude.
Around the same time, my husband unexpectedly gifted me a black shawl, completely unaware of the dream. To me, it felt like a confirmation. Something that strengthened my faith in both the mantra and the experience.
Coincidence? Perhaps.
But you wouldn't call it that when you've had a ton more such experiences.
And so, I chose to accept it as grace.
Since then, the name Nirupa has held a special place in my life. I now use it as both my spiritual name and my pen name.
My Spiritual Name
So, this is now my Spiritual Name, shared in the same spirit and format I asked of others — for one must first walk by example.
- Legal First Name: Uma
- Country: United States
- Spiritual Name: Suvrata Nirupa Sri Om

Love,
