Numerology of Names

December 21, 2005

DEar Shri Sai kumar,

Vedic numerology is based on "Katapayadi " sutra where each sanskrit

akshara is alloted a numerological value. For instance the name Jaya

has two aksharas "Ja" with Vedic numerological value of 8 and "Ya"

with vedic numerological value of 1. This has to be reversed to get

the correct numerological value of the name. That Ja Ya = 81.

Reversed, it becomes 18. So, the numerological value of Jaya is 18!

It is for this reason that Bhagavat Gita is called Jaya samhita - a

collection of knowledge containing 18 chapters! This is the code in

which some ancient sanskrit classical works and sutras mention numbers

though outwardly the sanskrit word may have a different literal

meaning! However, it may have no significance in modern world where

most of your documents have to be written in English.

Modern numerology is based on Chaldean or Pythogorean systems.

Interestingly while English numerologists have values of names only

till 52, some Indian numerologists like Pt. Sethuraman - the late

numerologist of Chennai have given values of names till 108. Each

number has its own potency in this system which they claim is based on

ancient Indian texts (they have not specified which text). Each

number has an associated image with it and has certain distinct

characteristics. Expert Indian numerologists will use this to arrive

at a correct name. I do not know how it works, but from my experience

know that it works... and miraculously at that in certain instances!

I think numerology works because of collective mental magnetism as

English dates and English alphabets are the most widely used ones in

international communication. But, I do not think you can call it

vedic by any stretch of imagination because you are using a mlecha

language - English to derive the values.

Nameology has a vedic sanction. Prasna works like Krishneeyam

eloborate various syllables attributable to different planets. Based

on the horoscope, you have to select aksharas that are most auspicious

to the person and avoid aksharas and sounds that are unfavourable to

the native. Again, while giving names, the meaning of the name should

be such that it resonates with certain powerful yogas in the

horoscope. One example you can say in Indian tradition is that King

Vikramaditya was so named because he had Aditya (Sun) in Vikrama

(Courage) sthana i.e. Sun in 3rd house which gives rise to a powerful

yoga called "Vikramaditya yoga". An auspicious name will prove to be

a talisman for the child energizing the auspicious yogas and also

reducing malefic yogas to a certain extent.

Combining akshara shastra and numerology can be really effective.

Blessed be.

|| Om Gurave Namah ||

Namaste Sai,

Numerology(Ganita) is a sub branch of Jyotish. Actually more work

needs to be done in bringing out the understanding of this part. The

houses are numbered due to numerological significance. (There is an

old article written by Pt. PVR Narasimha, If her permits I will upload

it to the folders section latter, Or you can search for it in the

archives).

The whole decimal system is based on numbers. There are 9 grahas and 1

Lagna.

The Graha's one type of numbering is

1 - Sun

2 - Moon

3 - Jupiter

4 - Rahu

6 - Venus

7 - Ketu

8 - Saturn

9 - Mars

One reference for the above is CoVA by Pt. Sanjay Rath.

The Rashi are numbered from Mesha/Aries onwards. This is indicated by

Maharishi Jaimini to bring out the importance, By refering the

rashi's by number KaTapayaadi System. This system brings out the

relation between Numbers, Raashi and Alphabets (Phonemes).

Therefore try Ka-Ta-pa-ya-aadi system for names also.

All vowels are assigned zero,

a, aa , i, ii, u,uu, R^i, R^ii, L^i, L^ii, e, ai, o, au,

aM, aH = 0/Zero

16 vowel:

classified as, short & Long

Primary : a, i, u, e

and compound (from two vowel sounds): au (a+u), ai (a+i) etc

In english there is only 5 vowels i.e. a, e, i, o & u

Note: In Vowel pronunciations the toungue should not touch any inner

part of the mouth.

The consonants are number as

1-5 = ka(1), kha, ga, gha, ~na(5)

5-0= ca(5), cha, ja(7), jha, ~Na(0)

1-5 = Ta, Tha , Da, Dha, Na

9-0 = ta, tha, da, dha, na

1-5 = pa, pha, ba, bha, ma

sibilants (semi vowels)

1-0 = ya(1), ra(2), la(3), va(4), sha(6), Sha(7), sa(8), ha(9)

like word naaraayana

na = 0

ra = 2

ya = 1

na = 0

reverse write the number as per convention,

0120

Since rashi's are numbered around the zodiac in circular manner. take

reminder by 12, we get Zero reminder which denotes pisces. Hence

Naarayana is Pisces.

Raa(2)ma(5) = 52

goes to Cancer when you count around the zodiac from Aries.

So Rama denotes Cancer Rashi.

Similarly you can deduce your name

as Ganesha is the gate keeper. Praying Mother fervently and seeking the boon for

identifying oneself to be the amsa of Ganesha(amsa of Ketu) is the simplest way

for receiving the invigoration /the illumination/ the blessings (Sun's transit

of amsa of Ketu) of the Para. Chanting the mantra "Sarva mangala ..." and

making the paste of turmeric is the simplest form of 'Srishti application'. The

word lagna bhava indicates the manifestation of dhi sakthi. Similarly hearing

inwardly the utterance of the word Ganesha or in other words allowing the nama

of Ganesha to surface from within if we place a blade of doorva the lost memory

is regained and the linkages are established afresh intuitively through the

grace of the Para. OM HRIM GAM HRIM MAHAGANAPATAYE NAMA SWAHA Warm regards.
