Guruji believes “since Vedavid is not a popular name, its characteristics will help the child to be unique in his own way when walking along the path, both personally and professionally”. “Also, Akshaya Tritiya is an auspicious occasion, so it indicates that the child would grow up to be wise, positive, and spiritual,” said Guruji.
