Karilea I love it when you make me think!  How spiritual this was.
Ananya means "no other" in Sanskrit. It really refers to the civilization known as India.  This country has had major influence on our knowledge and religions, perhaps the answer to this riddle is the Buddha, Gandhi, but in fact, I think this time it refers to oneself as being unique? For if you have reached a place where you actually "know", there is no others to answer to but your own conscience and the creator?  Oh boy!  I bet I am way off track.  Oh well, got me thinking.  But then again, I am ananya (or unique!) Loved it!

Karilea~
Not only are we 'unique' ...
Now just where did I hear that recently ?
... but we're poets to boot !

Now that IS something to write home about !

Well, according to Ron, I am ananya.  I am a sole and have, once, been called a heel

Ah, thank you all for reading...

the meaning for the word [from the reading I had] was that it means "unique"...as all of you are, and rightly so!  As I spoke the word aloud, it has such a soft, pleasant feel that I just had to share it...

thanks again!
