Owner testimonial:

The meaning of TAPASYA

The name of the yacht 'Tapasya' comes from Sanskrit (a monastic language, mainly from India) and has the meaning: "... to expose yourself with free will to uncomfortable situations in order to achieve something higher and better" (... to be at sea in heavy rain and hard cold wind, only to arrive at a beautiful and wonderful place where you also have the chance to meet nice and great people!).

Let me also explain why I chose Tapasya as the name for my yacht.

Well, sailors are said to be superstitious. They used to think that if a ship’s name had seven letters, it would be safe on the seven seas. If the ship’s name also had three A’s, which means the Trinity, it would protect you on the seven seas.

Tapasya is also a Hindu girl’s name of Sanskrit origin that means “austerity,” “meditation,” or “self-discipline.” It is derived from the word “tapas,” which means “heat” or “energy.” In Hinduism, tapas is a spiritual practice that involves self-discipline, meditation, and other forms of self-purification. It is a beautiful and meaningful name that is perfect for a girl (like a Grand Banks) who is strong-willed and dedicated to her goals.
