Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Hi friends, Namaste to all of you after a long hiatus! English language is as unscientific and as unsystematic as any language can get. The ordering of letters (a, b, c, d etc) has no phonological significance whatsoever. No numerological theory that hinges on this alphabet order is meaningful. Similarly, the Gregorian calendar is equally stupid. Between April 6 of one year and April 6 of another year, there may or may not be any astronomical similarity. It is an *arbitrary* calendar which attempts to address only some mundane issues. OTOH, the solar, lunar and savana (fixed) calendars of India (and much of the old world) have a sound astronomical basis. Again, no numerological theory that hinges on this arbitrary calendar can be meaningful. So numerology as practiced by many people today (based on English alphabet and dates as per the Gregorian calendar) is just nonsense. The name analysis given in the exchange between Anjaneya and Robyn is an example of the systematic approach of Vedic numerology. I want to write a little more on this for the benefit of those who are interested in genuine Vedic numerology. Before I proceed, here is the table for a quick reference, in case you don't have Sanjay ji's "Jaimini Maharishi's Upadesa Sutras" book: 1 - k, T (as in toy), p, y (as in yacht) 2 - kh, Th, ph, r 3 - g, D (as in doll), b, l 4 - gh, Dh, bh, v 5 - n(g), N, m, S (as in Saturn) 6 - ch, t (dental), sh (as in sheep) 7 - chh, th (dental), s (as in sir) 8 - j, d (dental), h 9 - jh, dh (dental) 0 - n(j), n (as in name), no consonant leading in the syllable > Dear Anjaneya, > Namaste, > > Thanks for that. I am busy listening to Guru Sanjay's > tape on Jaimini astrology and trying to work out the > name. Yes, that fits in with Chandra lagna = Scorpio. > That has helped a lot. > > Best wishes > Robyn Well, the nama rasi (name sign) does not have to "fit" with Chandra lagna or anything else. It just so happened in your case. We can judge the natal planetary positions using nama rasi of a person to see which indications of the natal chart receive support from the name. In fact, we can also see the nama rasi corresponding to a work or venture by a native (e.g. name of a book, name of a company etc) to see the impact of that work or venture on the native. As it is always easier to learn from real examples, I will give a few. (1) Take Pt. Sanjay Rath's chart (7th August 1963, 9:14:50 pm (IST), 83e58, 21n27). His second book "Crux of Vedic Astrology: Timing of Events" was popularly known as "COVA" and he became very popular in the world of Jyotish after that book. COVA (kovaa) has two consonants - k and v. They stand for 1 and 4 respectively. Reversing the order, it is 41. Dividing by 12, remainder is 5. This shows Leo. So Leo is the rasi that shows how this book is known. What is its impact on Sanjay ji's natal chart? In his natal rasi chart, Leo contains Mercury (writing) and it is aspected by GL (Ghati Lagna - shows power and fame). This shows becoming very popular as a writer. Writing a book that was known as "COVA" made him famous as a writer. (2) Take the chart of SJVC (10th September 1998, 9:35 am (IST), New Delhi, India). SJVC's first major venture is the "Jyotish Digest" magazine. Let us say this magazine becomes well-known as "JD" (like Astrological Magazine is known as AM and Express Star Teller as EST). What will it then do to SJVC? The two consonants j and d show 8 and 3. Dividing 38 by 12, we get 2 as the remainder. It shows Taurus as the nama rasi of JD. Judge the impact of Taurus on SJVC chart. It is the 8th house of the SJVC chart showing hard work and research. The venture known as "JD" will make SJVC work hard and spread occult knowledge. Taurus contains GL and has argala from the raja yoga giving planets in Leo. This shows that JD will make SJVC very popular and famous. But, it does not aspect HL (hora lagna - money) and, moreover, it is the 12th from AL (arudha lagna) showing expediture. This does not really show SJVC making a lot of money on this venture. The financial gains of SJVC from JD may be modest, but the fame and contribution to the spreading of occult knowledge will be immense. (3) I've been using the abbreviation "JHora" for the upcoming "Jagannatha Hora" software to be released by SJVC. The nama rasi of "JHora" is Pisces (j, h, r = 8, 8, 2=288. Remainder is 0, i.e. 12). Because HL in SJVC chart is in Sagittarius and Pisces contains HL lord Jupiter and aspects HL, this venture known as "JHora" is likely to be financially profitable. Jupiter and Pisces also show that this venture will go towards establishing the teachings of maharshis. Perhaps the retrogression of Jupiter in Pisces is one factor slowing down this JHora venture. The software is almost ready, but so many hurdles in finishing it. (4) My own birthdata is: 4th April 1970, 5:47:20 pm (IST), 81e8, 16n10. My full name is "P.V.R. Narasimha Rao". In my childhood, I was known by a nickname of "Babji". The syllables in it are B[aab] and J[ee]. The numbers of b and j are 3 and 2, i.e. 23. The remainder when 23 is divided by 12 is 11, i.e. Aquarius. Aquarius is the 6th house in my natal chart with Moon and Rahu. I did not enjoy good health. But Moon is AK (atma karaka) and is aspected by Jupiter (Libra) and raja yoga planets in Aries. Because of AK and Jupiter, I learnt traditional knowledge so effortlessly as if I was remembering it from my past life. By an age of 11, I obtained 2 diplomas equivalent to a bachelor's degree in Sanskrit literature, one of them with distinction. It also helped that Aq was the strongest sign in the SAV (Samudaya AshtakaVarga) of my natal rasi chart. During the ages of 13-21, I was known as PVR (pee vee aar) - my initials. You can see that p, v, r give 1, 4, 2, i.e. 241. The remainder when 241 is divided by 12 is 1. This shows Aries. Aries, with 4 planets, has all the raja yogas of my chart. It is also aspected by AK (atma karaka - Moon here). It was a great period and I succeeded in everything I tried. When I came to USA for masters (1991-93), people started calling me Rao (raav). This is just one syllable with the leading consonant being R (2). The nama rasi is Taurus. From Taurus, my raja yogas are in 12th. This period was not so good. It was a period of disillusionment and change in life. Since I returned to USA in 1995, I've been known as "Narasimha". This has 4 syllables - "N[a] R[a] S[im] H[a]". The leading consonants in the four syllables are n, r, s and h, which stand for 0, 2, 7 and 8 respectively. The number 8720 gives a remainder of 8 when divided by 12. This shows Scorpio. Scorpio aspects the raja yogas in Aries. The Mahayogada of my natal chart (Sun) owns the 10th from Scorpio and occupies 5th from it. This shows professional success. Ketu in 10th from Scorpio shows spiritual (Ketu) activities in society (10th). With Scorpio containing AL and various important sahamas (Vidya - education, Yasas - fame, Gaurava - respect, Rajya - kingdom, Karma - profession, Samartha - enterprise), this is a key sign. (5) Take Bill Gates (28th October 1955, 9:25 pm (PST), 122w20, 47n36). Had he been known as "William" or "William Gates", his nama rasi would've been Taurus. With Taurus being the 12th house with Ketu in it, his spirituality would've prospered. Instead, he is known as "Bill Gates" (syllables: B[il] G[aets]) and the nama rasi is Sagittarius, containing HL (money) and aspected by Yogada Mercury and Mars. The name is more conducive to the entrepreneur in him than the spiritual person in him. Leo is the strongest sign in his SAV. It is the 3rd house of enterprise. It contains HL lord (bringer of money) and aspects GL and GL lord (power). It is a key sign and brings money through enterprise and power through money. Incidentally, nama rasi of his company Microsoft (syllables: M[aik] R[oe] S[oft]) is Leo! This company brought him moeny and power. (6) Exercise for the interested: A native has the following chart - Sg: Lagna; Cp: Sat, Jup; Aq: Ket; Ta: Ven; Ge: Merc, HL; Cn: Sun; Le: Mar, Rah; Li: Gulika, Mandi; Sc: GL. Hypothetically, let us say he founded a company called "Thank Engines". Find the nama rasi of the venture and judge if it brings him money or not. Suppose the company's first product is called "Tip One Thousand". Find the nama rasi of the product and judge if this is the product that brings him a lot of money. If he is considering "Tip Two Thousand" and "Tip Three Thousand" for the name of the next product, what will you advise? Find the nama rasis of the two names and judge which one is better. I will give the answers a couple of days later. May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha PS: Name is not everything. Remember that it is only ONE of the factors. Though this article concentrated on just that factor, that's not the only thing that impacts one's fortune. PPS: A series of articles by Sanjay ji and me on a hitherto secret technique is starting in JD from May 2002. I assure that this is the most reliable technique of predictive astrology that I know of for focussed yearly predictions. Don't miss the first article of the series! It is written in the same easy style that you find in Sanjay ji's books and my book, with lots of examples thrown in. If you haven't already d to JD, I strongly advise you to do it right away.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Dear Pvr108 Namaste Thank you so much for the table. I have been looking for it on the web without success. As a writer and with English as my main 'subject' I am interested in what you say. There are strong connections between Latin and Sanskrit as far as I know are there not? But not between English and Sanskrit or am I wrong? This would perhaps explain the reason that English is apparently not a language that can be reduced to numerical figures (quite a young language). Certainly, as far as I can remember, Hebrew for instance can be (same as Sanskrit). (Recently purchased a book on Kabbalistic Astrology which shows how numbers can be deduced from the Hebrew alphabet.) So it appears that the older languages can be reduced to numbers. I don't know. Just asking. It is very interesting. My first foray into Vedic numerology and I am finding it fascinating and absolutely essential for my Jyotish studies. Any more information you would like to share, I am ready to hear.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Dear Guru Narasimha, Add: I have only *now* seen the additional writing you gave us below. Thank you so much for that lengthy explanation. (btw: thats why I addressed you as Pvr108! I couldn't see your name.) This is certainly going to give me a kick start to my entry into Vedic numerology. I have ordered the book, so I hope to get it soon. One more question if I may: If one deliberately changes one's name (say for instance you see that according to your nakstraka your name should begin with Nooo...as mine does), then what implications would this have with reference to your karma in this incarnation? For instance, would this improve your situation with respect to karmas that have become difficult in your life?

This shows that JD will make SJVC very popular and famous.But, it does not aspect HL (hora lagna - money) and, moreover, it is the 12th from AL (arudha lagna) showing expediture.

Because HL in SJVC chart is in Sagittarius and Pisces contains HL lord Jupiter and aspects HL, this venture known as "JHora" is likely to be financially profitable. Jupiter and Pisces also show that this venture will go towards establishing the teachings of maharshis. Perhaps the retrogression of Jupiter in Pisces is one factor slowing down this JHora venture.

Because of AK and Jupiter, I learnt traditional knowledge so effortlessly as if I was remembering it from my past life.

Ketu in 10th from Scorpio shows spiritual (Ketu) activities in society (10th). With Scorpio containing AL and various important sahamas (Vidya - education, Yasas - fame, Gaurava - respect, Rajya - kingdom, Karma - profession, Samartha - enterprise), this is a key sign.(5) Take Bill Gates (28th October 1955, 9:25 pm (PST), 122w20, 47n36). Had he been known as "William" or "William Gates", his nama rasi would've been Taurus. With Taurus being the 12th house with Ketu in it, his spirituality would've prospered. Instead, he is known as "Bill Gates" (syllables: B[il] G[aets]) and the nama rasi is Sagittarius, containing HL (money) and aspected by Yogada Mercury and Mars. The name is more conducive to the entrepreneur in him than the spiritual person in him.Leo is the strongest sign in his SAV. It is the 3rd house of enterprise. It contains HL lord (bringer of money) and aspects GL and GL lord (power). It is a key sign and brings money through enterprise and power through money. Incidentally, nama rasi of his company Microsoft (syllables: M[aik] R[oe] S[oft]) is Leo! This company brought him moeny and power.(6) Exercise for the interested: A native has the following chart - Sg: Lagna; Cp: Sat, Jup; Aq: Ket; Ta: Ven; Ge: Merc, HL; Cn: Sun; Le: Mar, Rah; Li: Gulika, Mandi; Sc: GL.Hypothetically, let us say he founded a company called "Thank Engines". Find the nama rasi of the venture and judge if it brings him money or not.Suppose the company's first product is called "Tip One Thousand". Find the nama rasi of the product and judge if this is the product that brings him a lot of money.If he is considering "Tip Two Thousand" and "Tip Three Thousand" for the name of the next product, what will you advise? Find the nama rasis of the two names and judge which one is better.I will give the answers a couple of days later.May Jupiter's light shine on us,NarasimhaPS: Name is not everything. Remember that it is only ONE of the factors. Though this article concentrated on just that factor, that's not the only thing that impacts one's fortune.PPS: A series of articles by Sanjay ji and me on a hitherto secret technique is starting in JD from May 2002. I assure that this is the most reliable technique of predictive astrology that I know of for focussed yearly predictions. Don't miss the first article of the series! It is written in the same easy style that you find in Sanjay ji's books and my book, with lots of examples thrown in. If you haven't already d to JD, I strongly advise you to do it right away.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Namaste Guru Narasimha, The more I study Jyotish, the more I realise the incredible interdisciplinary nature of this work. Each door that opens, opens yet again onto another area of study. It is utterly amazing to me and fills me with a deep sense of humility before this profound science. Your post reminded me of the fact that I was given a nickname by an American friend of mine when I was a child (and which I had completely forgotten). The name was Bud. This name stuck through my schoolyears. I find it interesting that this (if my calcs are correct) signifies Aquarius, not only my western sun sign, but Lord Saturn who is deeply influential in my chart. You wrote: Neverthess, the free will is, theoretically speaking, free to choose its course! I am rapidly coming to serious doubts as to exactly how much free will we have in our lives! My new-found attitude flies in the face of all that I was taught as a Westerner, but the facts speak for themselves once one studies Jyotish. And this is despite the fact that there must obviously be adridha karmas in our chart. And this is yet another philosophical door that I must walk through to find the truth! Thank you once again for your assistance. I shall now attempt to understand this fascinating area of work (language) which is close to my heart.

There are other factors. Just changing name will not completely change one's luck. It will only make some difference.(2) One would choose a good name for oneself or for a venture only when one is so destined. After all, if one is not lucky, one may change his name from David (Libra) to Robert (Scorio) and people may start calling him Rob (Taurus) or Bob (Gemini) or Bobby (Sagittarius).(3) Our lives are not completely decided by our karma. Past karma decides the situations we will face and the environment in which we have to conduct new karma. That limits the options available to the free will, sometimes dramatically. Neverthess, the free will is, theoretically speaking, free to choose its course!> This would perhaps explain the reason that English is> apparently not a language that can be reduced to numerical> figures (quite a young language).

My first> foray into Vedic numerology and I am finding it fascinating> and absolutely essential for my Jyotish studies.Any language that has a sound (sic) phonological basis is a candidate for meaningful numerology.In Sanskrit, the way you arrange consonants has a sound phonological basis. The first 25 consonants are divided into 5 groups of 5 letters each. Each group has the tongue touching the interior of the mouth in different places. We have k-group, ch-group (palatal), T-group (alveolar), t-group (dental) and p-group gradually move from the inside of the mouth to the lips. Within each group, we have voiceless, voiceless aspirated, voiced, voiced aspirated and nasal sounds (k, kh, g, gh, ng). Even the last 8 sounds (y, r, l, v, S, sh, s and h) have a phonological basis for their order.The problem with English is that each sound does not even correspond to a physical sound. Forget assigning numbers to letters.I did hear about Hebrew, but don't know much about it.As for the calendar, people take 1-12 for months and use dates of the Gregorian calendar and use them in numerology. This is just nonsense. If things were defined a little differently, March 2 would've been February 30 and so on. The whole thing is so arbitrary, without any astronomical basis. Why will formulas based on an arbitrary creation of a man influence our destinies? OTOH, if you are talking in terms of the lunar days (tithis) or solar days, they are based on planetary positions and hence they are formulas based on *God's* creation. They MAY influence our destinies.May Jupiter's light shine on us,NarasimhaArchives: vedic astrologyGroup info: vedic astrology/info.htmlTo UNSUBSCRIBE: Blank mail to vedic astrology-.......
