Impact of Name on Fortune (Vedic numerology)

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

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. Go to www.jyotishdigest.com for info.

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.

Best wishes

Robyn

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?

Best wishes

Robyn
