Kasturi

is a most beautiful name. It actually means musk, the fragrance found in the musk deer. As Swamiji says, the musk deer chases the wonderful smell that is actually inside its own body. However, the devotee who is blessed with the name Kasturi should not run from one external pleasure to another trying to find happiness and satisfaction. Knowing that the great fragrance of Divinity is within, the aspirant should dive deep inside and know the inner kasturi, which is the fragrance of spiritual self-knowledge. Having found the glorious perfume of Divinity inside, never again will the aspirant rely on externals or be disillusioned by the world, knowing that all is the play of the Divine. Different names are often added to the word kasturi. Kasturirangan is a name of Lord Krishna. It means fragrant divine love, divine music and the divine play of the Lord.
