Numerology The bard may have asked, “What’s in a name?” But as far as the Jumaanies are concerned there is a lot (Read: everything).

The number game now has a new meaning, to be Number 1 you have to now get the numbers in your Name right. Did you know that each alphabet of your name hasa certain value, and the sum total of this should be in harmony with your date of birth to have a smoother sailing in life? This necessitates one to know more about the study of numbers.

Study of numbers is best known as numerology. Like Astrology, numerology too works on the principal of the impact that the planets have on human lives.

The biggest proof of the fact that numbers govern our lives is that two children born to the same set of parents and having the same upbringing, but with different dates of birth have vastly different characters, which are shaped according to the date on which that individual was born, and also the name he is known by.

When you hear the word Numerology the first people to flash in your mind are the Jumaani’s, the famous Sanjay B Jumaani (operating from Mumbai) and Swetta Jumaani (Pune Office) have introduced a new kind of number game in Bollywood and also in the Television Industry. Whenever one sees a miss spelt title or name (Eg. Kksum), the only thing that comes to mind is “looks like a Jumaani job”.

Coming to the efficacy of numerology, this branch of knowledge could be termed asa science based on the fact that each and every alphabet has got numerical value and vibrations and one cannot see certain things, but can perceive this. Numerologycategorises people on the basis of name and date of birth. The sum total of the name of a person should be in tandem with the date of birth he or she carries. The sum total denotes whether that number is favourable or not for the person. Since date of birth cannot be changed, adding or deleting of alphabets is the only way to achieve harmony among these 2 sets of numbers. Once changed, new spelling could invoke better vibrations.

The other important factor to be borne in mind is the fact that planets have influence over the life of a person. A number denotes each planet too. i.e the Sun byNo.1, the Moon by No.2, Jupiter by No.3, Uranus by No.4, Mercury by No.5, Venus by No.6, Neptune by No.7, Saturn by No.8 and Mars by No.9. Uranus (4), Saturn (8) andMars (9) are most troubling and disruptive planets. Unlucky numbers for 4 and 8 persons are ironically their own numbers. To bring their name on more positive number, the name, surname or middle name has to be altered. Having done, thus, Jumaani assures success and happiness, with a lot of confidence. For those who come for an extra limelight in success already predicted by the astrologers, Jumaaniwould prescribe a precise dose of a few stray alphabets.

In short, Jumaani’s prescription contains nothing but alphabets: a to z. very rarely, it could be a new name altogether. Numerology is not a substitute for hard work. In Jumaanie’s words,“ Numbers and names alone cannot ensure success, we have to work hard”. Success is a blend of good fortune and hard work.

HOW DID IT START

Film distributor and friend Farahad Nathani tested Bansilal M Jumaani by giving him film titles a few days before the film release and asked him to predict the results, After 9 months of such tests, came film named “ Kaho Na Pyar Hai” which Bansilal changed to “Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai”. He added the alphabet A to both Na and Pyar. This addition of two ‘A’ s made all the difference to Rakesh Roshan. The film becamesuper hit.

Impressed by this, Rakesh Roshan introduced him to Jitendra. Tushar Kapoor – Jitendra’s son was suggested to use an extra ‘s’ in his name and Ekta Kapoor was suggested each and every title should numerologically suit her and Balaji Telefilems.Hence, mega serials like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kkusum, Kaahin Kissii Roz, Kundali, Kasauti Zindagi Kay, Kaahin To Hoga have been altered numerologically. This resulted in Jumaani's giving consultations to other block bluster TV serials like Desh Main Niklla Honga Chand, Sanjivani, Khullja Sim Sim, Kumkum, Kittie Party, Kalash, Kutumb, Jassi jaissi koi nahi, Ye meri Life Hai. Results of these changes were there for every one to see.

Some of the stars who have been benefitted at Jumaanis insistence include Smirti ZIraani {Tulsi – KSBKBT}, Roniet Bose Roy (Mihir),Shobhaa De, Ekta Kapoor, Ishaa “Khallas” Koppikar, Suniel Shetty, Ameesha (Patel), Tusshar, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan,

Birjoo Maaharraj, Kirron Kher, Baa {KSBKBT}, Anuradda Paudwaal, Prince of Mysore – Wadiyaar and many more.

Their works have already proved that cosmetic changes in spellings one can attain huge success through numerology. Understandably then, their services can be prevailed by anybody seeking advice in matters of marriage, love, career, studies, shop names, childbirth, name-changes etc .

NUMBERS & PLANETS

It has been 1 year since we lost our guiding Light, our Father, Mr Bansilal M Jumaani.He not only shaped our life, but with his remarkable command in Numerology, he had managed to change the lives of thousands of people.

He single handedly revived this age old science {around 5000 year old} in India, which is a haven to such an art and culture.

Based on his experience on the subject, I would like to present some of his findings,which if we apply to our day to day life, it can certainly enhance the way we live.

Amongst the Nine planets {Navgrahas} ruling our Zodiac, each of these possess their own beauty and charm. Each of these planets has been assigned numbers in Numerology as follows:

1= Sun {1, 10, 19 and 28 born} Sun also is the ruler planet of all Leo’s.

2= Moon {2, 11, 20, 29 born} Moon also governs those born in the zodiacal sign of Cancer.

3= Jupiter {3, 12, 21 and 30 born} Jupiter also governs those born in the zodiacal sign of Pisces and Sagittarius.

4= Uranus {4, 13, 22 and 31 born}

5= Mercury {5, 14 and 23 born} Mercury also governs those born in the zodiacal sign of Gemini and Virgo.

6= Venus {6, 15 and 24 born} Venus also governs those born in the zodiacal sign ofTaurus and Libra.

7= Neptune {7, 16 and 25 born} Neptune also governs those born in the zodiacal sign of Cancer.

8= Saturn [8, 17 and 26 born} Saturn also governs those born in the zodiacal sign of Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra.

9= Mars {9, 18 and 27 born} Mars also governs those born in the zodiacal sign of Aries and Scorpio.

Of the above Numbers, on the materialistic plane, certain numbers or planets are considered to be more auspicious and Favorable. On my father’s suggestion, we have been over the years using such numbers on our logo of our visiting card. The same can be seen on our website.

And these numbers are 1, 3, 5 and 6.

1= Sun : Sun {Sooraj} is the creative force which gives light and life to the entire universe. Humans, plants and animals cannot survive without its radiant rays. It represents Leadership.

3= Jupiter : Jupiter {Guru} is the biggest planet, known to be the planet of wealth and prosperity.

5= Mercury : Mercury {Buddh} is the fastest planet, known to be the planet of speed, communication, versatility and knowledge. {Buddh, meaning Buddhi}

6= Venus : Venus {Shukra} is the planet of luxury, beauty, peace, love and harmony. In other words, if those born with such numbers put a sincere effort, they do get in most cases what they deserve, while many of them would even get more than what they deserve. That brings me to the astonishingly remarkable discovery that 10 of the world’s richest men are all ruled by the materialistic 1, 3, 5 and 6, in one way or more.

TOP 10 RICHEST MEN

1) WILLIAM HENRY “BILL” GATES 28/10/1955 {2+8=1, Number 1}

2) WARREN EDWARD BUFFETT 30/08/1930 {Number 3}

3) CARLOS SLIM HELU 28/01/1940 {Number 1}

4) INGVAR KAMPRAD 30/03/1926 {Number 3}

5) LAKSHMI MITTAL 15/06/1950 {Number 6}

6) SHELDON ADELSON 01/08/1933 {Number 1}

7) PAUL GARDNER ALLEN 21/01/1953 {Number 3}

8) BERNARD ARNAULT 5/3/1949 {Number 5}

9) AMANCIO ORTEGA 28/03/1936 {Number 1}

10) DAVID THOMSON 12/06/1957 {Number 3}

The recent changes include MUKESH AMBANI who is also number 1 {19/4} and K P SINGH who is a number 6 {15/8}

Many years ago, when my father devised this logo and theory, he didn’t even knowwho Bill Gates was. Forget the other nine richest!

Well, the ball doesn’t stop there!

This induces one to think about the world’s top 10 powerful brands!

Incidentally {it can’t be a coincidence!} eight of the top 10 most powerful brands inNumerology add up to the Numbers 1, 3, 5 and 6! Read on:

1) GOOGLE Value, $ 66 Billion {Number 1}

2) GENERAL ELECTRIC Value, $ 62 Billion {Number 5}

3) MICROSOFT Value, $ 44 Billion {Number 3}

4) COCA-COLA Value, 44 Billion {Number 1}

5) CHINA MOBILE Value, $ 41 Billion {Number 1}

6) MARLBORO, Value $ 39 Billion {Number 1}

7) WAL-MART, Value $ 37 Billion {Number 3}

8) CITI, Value, $ 34 Billion {Number 9} Not amongst 1,3, 5 or 6

9) IBM, Value $ 33 Billion {Number 7} Not amongst 1,3, 5 or 6

10) TOYOTA, Value $ 33 Billion {Number 6}

‘GOOGLE' Example: G=3, O=7, O=7, G=3, L=3, E=5. 3+7+7+3+3+5=28=1}

From the above, it is clear that 1, 3, 5 and 6 are indeed quite fortunate; perhaps these numbers could be used when choosing to name a new born baby, company ora brand name. With cosmetic alterations in existing names too, one can shift the vibrations and bring the names on powerful numbers. {e g: RAYMOND’S was rechristened RAYMOND to bring it on Number 24 or 6}.

However, one must be warned not to do so unless one is an expert, as half knowledge is indeed dangerous.

PERSONALITIES

Michael Phelps : 30-06-1985

Till last year, most of us didn’t know about him.

Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar is lucky to be on the right path of Numerology ! He is No 9 (9/9/); rocking since last year when 2007=9. A Virgo ruled by No 5, he is rocking in his 41styear (41=5). All his recent hits Numerically corrected ! Namastey London. Heyy

'Khatron Ke Khiladi', the show that has fast become the trump card of new channel, 'COLORS' adds to 5, one of his lucky #’s too!

BENAZIR BHUTTO

Benazir was a Gemini, whose ruler is No 5 of Mercury, and 5 does not gel with 9 of Mars. Hence 9 was amongst her unluckiest Numbers.

We would like to show you the implications No 9 has had on Benazir Bhutto’s life. The numbers show the hidden influences that play in the destiny of the individual.

1 Her year of Birth: 1953 = 9

2 Her Date of Birth: 21-06-1953 = 9

3 Assassinated in the year 2007 = 9

4 Date of assassination 27th Dec = 9

5 Her husband’s name

Asif Ali Zardari = 9

1318 131 7124121 adds up to 36 = 9

6 His D O B: 26-7-1956 = 9

7 They married: 18th Dec = 9 {Her marriage affected her political career}

9 Her son’s name:

BILAWAL ZARDARI BHUTTO

2131613 7124121 256447

17=8 18=9 28=1

8+9+1 =18 = 9 The meaning of his newly acquired name that adds to 18 is:

18. “This number is pictured as ‘a rayed moon from which drops of blood are falling; a wolf and a hungry dog are seen below catching the falling drops of blood intheir opened mouths, while still lower a crab is seen hastening to join them’. It is symbolic of materialism striving to destroy the spiritual side of the nature. It generally associates a person with bitter quarrels, even family ones, also with war, social upheavals, and revolutions; and in some cases it indicates making money andposition through wars.

It is, however, a warning of treachery, deception by others, also danger from the elements, such as storms, danger from water, fires, and explosions.” Which leaves him vulnerable to attempts on his life too! Further glaring instances of no 9 in her life

10 She went into self-imposed Exile in 1998 = 9

11 She faced criminal charges of 1.5 billion $

Which is Rs90 billion = 9

12 Her age, 54 years at the time of her death = 9

13 We shall now look into the intricacies of the calculation of her name in numerology :

B E N A Z I R B H U T T O

2 5 5 1 7 1 2 2 5 6 4 4 7 = 51 = 6

And the meaning of Number 51 in numerology is:

51 : “This number has a very powerful potency of its own. It represents the nature of the warrior; it promises sudden advancement in whatever one undertakes; it is

especially favorable for those in military or naval life and for leaders in any cause. At the same time it threatens enemies, danger, and the likelihood of assassination”.

Remarkably, (and unfortunately) another great person who carried the vibrations ofNo 51, and who was also assassinated is none other than the Father of our Nation:

A. MOHANDAS K GANDHI which is his real name adds to 51

M=4, O= 7, H= 5, A= 1, N= 5, D= 4, A= 1, S= 3, K= 2, G=3, A=1, N=5, D=4,H=5, I= 1 = 51

Although, he was fondly known as BAPPU or MAHATMA, he personally used his name everywhere, including his autobiography as:

MOHANDAS K GANDHI

Let us delve into name vibration of some other leaders who have been assassinated:

B. ABRAHAM LINCOLN assassinated:

1221514 3153735

16=7 27=9 Total combination = 16

The meaning of no 16 is:

16: ”This number has a most peculiar occult symbolism. It is pictured by ‘a Tower with a Crown on his head.’ It is also called ‘the Shattered Citadel.’

It gives warning of some strange fatality awaiting one, also danger of accidents anddefeat of one’s plans. If it appears as a ‘compound’ number relating to the future, it is a warning sign that should be carefully noted and plans made in advance in the endeavor to avert its fatalistic tendency.”

C. JOHN F KENNEDY assassinated:

1 7 5 5 8 2 5 5 5 5 4 1

18-9 8 27=9 9 + 8 + 9 = 26

The meaning of no 26 is:

26: “This number is full of the gravest warnings for the future. It foreshadows disasters brought about by association with others; run, by bad speculations, by partnerships, unions, and bad advice.

It comes out in connection with future events one should carefully consider the path one is treading. It should not be associated with 4 or 8” But he was assassinated on the 22nd and 22=4!

CRICKET

Statistics never lie, and so it is a Numbers game after all! Be it the Number on a thermometer which spells your well-being, to the perfect Numbers that can shape a models life {36’’ 24’’ 36’’!}.

A golf course, or a life course, pick your Numbers carefully! Or simply the sizes of your shoes or skates that may well decide how you fare in all the ‘walks’ of life!

With Ekta Kapoor leading the brigade for the TV industry, what with the trade booming by the hour, and thus helping enhance the lives of thousands of people dependent on the industry, to some of the top actors, musicians and producers fromBollywood, Numerology has caught up in an alarming way.

So why should our Indian Cricket Team be left far behind? Especially as even here, Lady Luck plays an important role in deciding whether you are ‘out’ or ‘in’, not to forget the huge ‘moolah’ involved!

Latest statistics show that for the first time in the annals of Indian Cricket, India has registered more ‘wins’ than ‘losses’!

Unbelievable even to the die-hard cricket buff, but it is a fact that when India beat Bangladesh recently, it achieved this near-impossible act! 328 ‘wins’ against 327 ‘losses’ from 688 matches.

So when the ‘Numbers’ are indeed tilting in India’s favor, we ask Indian Cricket Teams favorite Numerologist, Sanjay B Jumaani the story behind the Numbers game, the latest epidemic to ‘affect’ the Men in Blue.

Says Jumaani:

A majority of the Indians from the current crop are firm believers in Numerology, what with Captain and Vice Captain, Dhoni and Yuvraj leading the pack!

While Dhoni, born on 07/07 not only sports Jersey # 7, he also wears a locket with the same #; Yuvraj, who blasted six 6’s in an over recently, born on 12/12, dons Jersey # 12, and in fact also has most of his car Numbers adding to 12!

Irfan Pathan, {27/10} who was out of the team consulted me and wore 63, {switching from 56} making a swash-buckling comeback in the Twenty-20 World Cup which we won; he also was the man-of-the match in the finals.

Sreesanth, a Scorpion governed by Mars {07/11} was a couple of years ago suggested 36. He is not complaining, though his adversaries are! Uthappa, his good friend also sports a Red Coral as suggested.

Shewag, found jersey # 44 {44=8} quite unlucky; he’s supposed to be a One-day specialist, but his average in the shorter form of the game was only around 29, whereas in Test cricket, where one is required to wear a white uniform, and not a Number, it was a whopping 52! Currently he has taken off 44 and has sprang back to form. He is the only cricketer in the world who has no Number on his back!

Dashing opener, Gautam Gambhir who was the 2nd highest scorer in both, a Twenty-20 series as well as the recently concluded IPL is born on 14/10, a # 5 wearing Jersy # 5 !

Consecutively three times Man-of-the match Suresh Raina, India’s latest ‘Rain-Man’ was in the IPL allotted Jersey # 13 {which most people dread} and very notoriously,he covered up the ‘1’ from ‘13’ with an untidy patch made of tape, much to the chagrin of millions of viewers watching this sight, to ‘change’ not only ‘13’ to ‘3’, but to also see a change in his beleaguered fortunes!

Not without reason, as he is a Sagittarian {27/11} governed by # 3 Jupiter, the biggest planet, representing wealth.

New find, Rohit Sharma is a # 3 {30/04} and 3, 6 and 9 are his best Numbers; he sports 45, which represents 9 of Mars, planet of aggression, a # also suggested to Irfan & Sreesanth for same effect.

Ditto with Yusuf Pathan, {17/11} who is a fellow Scorpion like brother Irfan

Ruled by 9 {Mars}; Yusuf is sporting 27.

Pragyan Oza also called me some time ago; we share the same birthday {30/08} and is wearing # 30. He picked up 2 of the 6 wickets that fell on his debut.

Zaheer Khan, one of IPL’s leading wicket taker is a # 7 {07/10} sporting 34 {34=7}too!

Dinesh Karthik {01/06} recently consulted me and is wearing 46, {46=1} wearing aRuby made by my wife Jhernna, who is also a Gemmologist.

Ishant Sharma {02/09} is wearing # 29, the first two Numbers of his birth-date; he is also wearing a pendant {# 37} as suggested by me.

Sohail Tanvir, highest wicket taker in IPL.

12/12/1984, being no 3, his lucky numbers are 3, 6, 9. His name adds to 39 = 3. Wearing jersy 33 (33=6), he is in the limelight in his 24th (24=6) year !

R P Singh {06/12}. Luck numbers - 3, 6, 9. Wearing jersy 9.

33, very powerful number in numerology. 6 denotes Venus, planet of luxury.

Both, highest wicket taker, and maximum run getter, Sohail Tanvir and Shane Watson sported 33.

Your's truly (Sanjay B Jumaani) adds to 33 !!

Reema Lamba struggled for 6 years, ended struggle with a new name, Mallika Sherawat, also added to 33 !

Same was the case with Bipasha Basu (33).

India adds to 3, on 3rd (=3) India were ones to score a 300 (=3) for the 300th (=3) by any cricketing nation.

At the same time, Jumaani says that while he believes it is also the ‘Hard-work’ that the team puts in; Luck also is a deciding factor. There may be a lot of skeptics, who may ‘rubbish’ his claims, but the fact of the matter is that the Numbers Game is here to stay, and how!

Twenty20 World Cup

How Numerology played important role in India’s Twenty20 World Cup.

It was the magic of the number 3, 6 and 9 that worked for India: “Irfan Pathan, who is a number 9 (born October 27), was wearing jersey number 63 (6+3=9), as suggested by me. The year 2007 also totals up to 9. India adds to number 3, Bharat to number 6, and Monday, September 24, to 6. Dhoni (born July 7, 1981) is a number 6.

Sreesanth, a scorpion ruled by number 9, was wearing jersey number 36 (3+6=9). Yuvraj, born December 12, is a number 3, was also wearing jersey number 12 (1+2=3). We last won the World Cup 24 years ago which totals 6, in 1983, which totals 3, so the family of 3, 6 and 9 works for Team India.

Infact Kapil Dev is also a number 6 {6th Jan} and 24 years ago (24=6), He led the Indian Team to a Maiden World Cup Victory in 1983 {1983=3}.

Success is a blend of good fortune and hard work.

CITIES

Cities have been renamed in the past and many a time, as a Numerologist, we couldinterpret the good or harm arising out of it.

Some do it out of ethnic or cultural demands, others for historical, and sometimes, roads are named to appease some legends. For example, Carter Road, a very prominent landmark in Bandra went for a name change recently. It was renamed after Naushad. Orissa is going to become Odisha. Mumbadevi became Bombay, andagain became Mumbai, Chennai from Madras, Kolkata from Calcutta and so on.

But sometimes the implications can be drastic, to very providential, to put it mildly. Because names carry vibrations, and each alphabet carry energies, and a name adds to a frequency, which in Numerology can sometimes make or break.

For starters, Poona was rechristened Pune; which was in fact for the betterment, as by default Pune adds to Number 24, which in Numerology represents Venus, the planet of love, peace, harmony and luxury. And one can easily gauge the progress our neighboring city has made on itself and its citizens, what with Puneiites being awarded with the ‘most satisfied’ citizens in the country some time back. In fact some very progressive places and top tourist attractions like France, Paris, Shanghai, Thailand, China, Hawaii {notice the extra ‘i’} add to the same number.

When Bangalore was going to be renamed Bengaluroo, we left no stone unturned to warn them against that spelling, suggesting Bengaluru, which adds to a dream # 33, or 6, Number of Venus, planet of love, peace, harmony and luxury. Thankfully, better sense prevailed as they did go ahead with the suggestion. {Bangalore Times,13/12/2005}

Mumbadevi added to # 6 too, and was a flourishing place, so prosperous that the British eyed it and went on to reap {rape?} it and developed it like no other city in India.

Orissa to Odishi would be a welcome change, as Odishi sums to 3, representing Jupiter, the biggest planet, also representing wealth and prosperity. In fact, in the years gone by, it was known as Odishi, and was one of the most thriving dynasties of ancient India.

But is it correct to play with the vibrations of a name, which shelters thousands andlakhs of people without professional advice? It’s like going to a chemist without a doctors prescription. For example the changed name, ‘Mumbai’ adds to # 18, not a good Number.

Revelation 13:18 reads:

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev. 13:18

"And he causes all, both great and small, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark" (Rev.13:16-1)

The Bible clearly states that 666 is the number of Anti Christ or the Beast.

It says that the devil will bear a mark on the hand or forehead or will have his nameadd up to 666.

Now let us see the numerological significance of the number 666.

666 when added give us the Number 18, and the meaning of this number in Numerology is as follows:

“This number has a tricky representation to interpret. It is pictured as ‘A Rayed moon from which drops of blood are falling; A wolf and a hungry dog are seen belowcatching the falling drops in their opened mouths, while a crab is seen quickening tojoin them. It is symbolic of greediness determined to destroy the spiritual side of nature.

IT GENERALLY ASSOCIATES A PERSON WITH BITTER QUARRELS, EVEN WITHIN FAMILY, ALSO WITH WAR, SOCIAL DISRUPTION, AND REVOLUTIONS; AND IN SOME CASES IT MEANS MAKING MONEY THROUGH WARS OR BY WARS. IT IS HOWEVER A WARNING OF BETRAYAL AND DECEPTION BY OTHERS, ALSO DANGER FROM THE ELEMENTS, SUCH AS STORMS, WATER, FIRE, EXPLOSION AND EARTHQUAKE.”

Mumbai faced its worst catastrophe during the 26/07 floods. That 26=8 of Saturn {Shani}, which doesn’t go well with 9 of Mars {Mangal} is another thing. Gujarat adds to 18, too, and again on a ‘Saturn’ ruled day {26/01}, it was rocked by a huge earthquake, taking countless lives and rendering thousands homeless.

In fact more recently Mynamar also lost around 1 lakh people in the recent Cyclone,and { I wouldn’t call it a coincidence} Mynamar adds to 18 too! It happened on a Saturday {Shaniwar, day of Shani!}.

No wonder there is so much of mayhem in places like Gujarat, Kashmir, Srilanka and Srinagar which add up to the same 18.

In fact 9 is also the number of Mars, a fiery and disruptive planet. Mars lends unending energy to people who are ruled by this number {Planet}.

The flip side, however is that 9 is so destructive that pace bowlers, Sreesanth and Irfan Pathan are wearing Jersey # 36 and 63 as per our advice, as they are not supposed to make love with the opposition, but make war. At least, Sreesanth is doing exactly that, {in the literal sense.

Most dreaded and feared by some of the best batsmen, West Indian speedster Malcolm Marshall was triply governed by 9 of Mars {18+04+1958=9, 18=9 and 9 orMars rules Arians}. Hitler was an Arian ruled by Mars, and so is over energetic JackieChan. Bruce Lee was a # 9 {27/11} and Indian Bruce Lee, Salman Khan {27/12} has the energies of disruptive Mars too!

Coming back to the auspicious # 6, Bharat, a progressive country, now poised by many to be the 8th richest in the world adds to # 15. It’s hence better that we use Bharat, rather than India.

Electronic and gift articles made in China have flooded the world market, 49-99 shops in India and Dollar stores in the USA, live off the produce of China. China, too,adds up to the number 15, the meaning of which is:

Number 15:

This is the most successful number. Success in business, domestic life and finance is indicated. It is good as a trade mark number.

Madras added up to a similar number, and hence was a progressive Metropolis, however on changing to Chennai it came on the number 25 the meaning of which is

Number 25:

This is a number denoting strength gained through experience and benefits obtained through observations of people and things. It is not deemed exactly "lucky", this number is full of the gravest warnings for the future. It foreshadows disasters brought about by association with others, ruin by bad speculations, by partnerships, unions and bad advice. If it comes out in connection with future events one should carefully consider the path one is treading

We all know the path Madras has taken after changing to Chennai, what with the Tsunami and other torrential floods ravaging the region.

Mumbai was known as Bombay this totals up to the number 17 the meaning of which is:

Number 17:
