One of our 5th grade students is in the final voting to name our new baby elephant at the Columbus Zoo. Her entry is: 3. Sattva (SUHT-vah) - Translated from Sanskrit, this name means "purity" or "existence." In Hindu, individuals who are sattvic are believed to have a good memory... going with the old adage that an elephant never forgets. When you combine the name Sattva with that of his brother, Bodhi, you get Bodhisattva. In Mahayana Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is someone who uses his/her wisdom to bring others to enlightenment. Please take a moment to visit one of the url's below to vote for Sattva. http://www.columbuszoo.org/conservation/namethebabyelephantcontest.aspx or tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/cmnchr The voting ends at midnight on May 6. The new baby is very cute. Thank you in advance. Connie W.
