Maybe the same process as Black people become Muslim and changing their names. The become so different the need a new name to reflect the deep change they feel in themselves. But I really don't know.
Why do white people from California feel they need to go to India and culturally appropriate, and get an Indian name to "discover the meaning of life"?
@aquamanvan , Because they don't find meaning, fulfillment, or a truth they can experience in their parents' traditional religions. But the desire for that kind of connection and truth is still there. It's not just Californians. Europeans also go to India. Maybe we are drawn spiritually to what is both like and unlike what our pasts and our cultures offer us. Also, India has a tradition of the teacher, the guru, and India provides the literal and symbolic journey.

Asd a veggy Guru she is very much worth
listening to
and she radiates Love
as opposed
to some 'killer' gurus who eat meat
and
tell to their followers that it doesn't matter
and
so accumulate a Darfur kind of Karma.
