Filled with inner light; having a pale complexion
In Sanskrit, Nimai is derived from the word 'nima', often interpreted as 'filled with light' or 'inner light'. It is most famously associated with the 15th-century Bengali saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who was given the name because he was born under a Neem tree and possessed a golden, radiant complexion.
