Query: Meaning of the First name- Vedant or Anant?

Vijay Kumar:
Vedanta stands for end of the Vedas... it is synonymous with Bhagavad Gita. In other words the extract of Bhagavad Gita is also known as Vedanta. Vedanta encompasses within itself the complete wisdom of the cosmos that is worth knowing by a normal Human being. Beyond Bhagavad Gita Vedanta there is nothing else to be studied or known. Vedanta is an end in itself.

Ananta stands for anything which is without a boundary and unlimited (not limited by any frontiers... man made or cosmic). It encompasses within itself a huge cosmos in itself. When we talk of Ananda absolute bliss... it signifies a limitless feeling of happiness... Anant happiness!

Ananta is related to the beginningless Cosmos... a cosmos brahmaand without a boundary! Whenever we talk of Anant... it gives immeasurable pleasure because we are indulging ourselves in limitless boundaries... something beyond the control of human beings!

Vedant stands for someone who shall strive forward in life for study of the Bhagavad Gita... study of something beyond the mundane life. Naming someone by the name of Vedant who ultimately indulges in wanton desires is not desirable.

At this stage none can know the future of your child. However, if you feel that your son encompasses saintly feelings... name him Vedant! Alternatively if your son gives a feeling of boundless joy name him Anant.

The sweet small inner voice coming out of our heart prompts us for the right answer... try to listen to this small sweet inner voice of your atman the soul within. As it advises... do the same for our atman the soul within always and ever guides us on the right path. Also ask your wife to repeat the same process and jointly take a decision. atman the soul within both of you shall guide you on the right path.

May God bless you, your wife and your child Anant (one who provides immense joy)
