1. Val’racharya
I am an entity that walks through this life accompanied by spirits, spirits both good & evil.
There, that is the secret that was promised. While my situation is far from special, my approach to dealing with it is probably unique, if not exceptional…if I say so myself, and indeed I do.
My name is Val’r. That’s Old Norse for ‘the dead,’ specifically those slain in battle. The English derivative of this word is ‘valor.’ For you fans of “Game of Thrones,” ever heard of ‘Valyrian Steel?” Truth be told, this name of mine, Val’r, was given to me by gurus, my superiors, my betters. It’s kind of an inside joke really, an inside joke about immortality.
The long form of my name, or my proper name is ‘Val’racharya.’ This is a compound word of Val’r (which you now know) and a designation, ‘acharya.’ Acharya means ‘one who teaches by their conduct.’ So then, ‘Val’racharya’ means ‘the acharya known as Val’r.’ Properly, an acharya is a Brahmana (a teacher of law) charged with the duty / dharma of developing the Ksatriya (administers of law). These are two of the four ‘varnas’ of the Vedantic philosophical system. In other words, he is a teacher for warriors; from which future rulers will & must be cultivated. Ksatriya is a derivative of the word ‘ksatra’ which means ‘authority or the one wielding it.’
“A Brahmana that does not teach, is no Brahmana at all.”
My mission, my goal with this little company of mine is simple and I will tell you here shortly, but first…
To thee my lord, of all things most high I prostrate myself in praise. Oh ‘Seed of The Universe’ I pledge my honor, my life & my immortality to thee in perpetuity.
