Brother Quote by Surya Das

“Why'd he name Ram Dass that? And Krishna Das that,…” quote by Surya Das — Download Open image

“Why'd he name Ram Dass that? And Krishna Das that, instead of vice versa? Is Krishna Das more Krishna like and Ram Dass more Ram-like? Maybe... why not? We grow into our names. But why did my parents named me Jeffrey and my brother Michael? Who knows?”
