Astro-Numerology - Lesson 2
By G. Kumar

Like Pythagoras' intoxication with the Music of the Spheres (Wisdom), the Indian Sages were infatuated with Knowledge. Many scientific truths were revealed by them in higher states of consciousness, which came to be known as the Vedas. One such sage was Vararuchi, who discovered the inter-relationship between numbers and letters of the alphabet. 

The concept of Name Number .

These are the various numbers given to the letters of the alphabet:    

           A I J Q Y = 1  

           B K R      = 2

           C G L S   = 3

           D M T     = 4

           E H N X  = 5

           U V W    = 6

           O Z        = 7

           F P         = 8

No letter has been assigned the number nine.

Individual Name Number

The Name Number is arrived by adding all the digits which correspond to the letters in your name.

For example:

P  R A S H A N  T  U P A S E

8  2  1 3 5 1  5  4  6 8  1 3 5                     Total 52

Individual Name No : 5 + 2 = 7

Here the individual Name Number is 7 & the Combined Name Number is 52.

There are effects for both the individual and the combined  name numbers in Astro-Numerology. We will deal with it in our forthcoming articles.

On the next page, you'll find the Fadic Number effects for Twoians (see Lesson 1), who are ruled by the Number TWO.
