When Names Shape Destinies
Shakespeare once asked, “What’s in a name?” But as the Jumaanis have long argued, the destiny of entire cities can shift with a single change in spelling.
The Vibrational Impact of a Name
Every alphabet carries energy, and when names are altered—whether for cultural, political, or historical reasons—the vibrations can prove either auspicious or destructive. Cities across India and the world have undergone renaming: Madras → Chennai, Calcutta → Kolkata, Bombay → Mumbai, and Poona → Pune.
While some changes arise from identity or history, numerology reveals their hidden energetic impact. Because names carry vibrations, and each alphabet carries energies, a name adds to a frequency, which in Numerology can sometimes make or break.
Success Stories: Names That Worked
Poona → Pune
Number 24 = Venus
The rechristening of Poona to Pune was for the betterment. By default, Pune adds to Number 24, which represents Venus, the planet of love, peace, harmony, and luxury. The result? Pune flourished, with its citizens once awarded as the ‘most satisfied’ in the country. Other prosperous places like France, Paris, Shanghai, and China add to the same number.
Bangalore → Bengaluru
Number 33 = Venus
When Bangalore was to be renamed, we warned against the spelling 'Bengaluroo'. We suggested Bengaluru, which adds to a dream #33 (or 6), the number of Venus. Thankfully, better sense prevailed. This change aligned the city with vibrations of luxury and harmony, contributing to its growth as a global IT hub.
Orissa → Odisha
Number 3 = Jupiter
The change from Orissa to Odisha is a welcome one. Odisha sums to 3, representing Jupiter, the biggest planet and a symbol of wealth and prosperity. In the years gone by, it was known as Odishi, one of the most thriving dynasties of ancient India, aligning its modern name with its prosperous history.
The Dangers of #18 – The Number of Upheaval
Mumbai & The Number 18
6+6+6 = 18
The changed name, ‘Mumbai’ adds to #18, not a good Number. In the Bible, 666 is the number of the Beast, and 6+6+6 gives us 18. This number is associated with destruction, quarrels, and upheaval. After the name change, Mumbai faced its worst catastrophe during the 26/07 floods (26=8, Saturn, clashing with Mars).
Other troubled regions like Gujarat, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, and Srinagar also vibrate to the number 18.
The Prophecy of Number 18
A Warning in Numerology
“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...’ It is symbolic of greediness and destruction. It warns of betrayal, deception, social disruption, revolutions, and danger from elements like storms, water, fire, and earthquakes.”
This explains the massive earthquake in Gujarat (adds to 18) on 26/01 and the devastating cyclone in Myanmar (adds to 18).
Numbers of Growth & Fortune
Number 15
Success in Business & Life
Represents Venus. Cities aligned with this number, like Bharat, China, and Madras (before its name change), have shown great progress and prosperity.
Number 17
The Star of the Magi
A highly spiritual number that promises immortality. Bombay, before becoming Mumbai, added to this number, reflecting its status as a city of dreams.
Number 23
Royal Star of the Lion
Guarantees success and protection from higher powers. We proposed Kashmier for Kashmir, to shift its vibration from the disruptive 18 to the fortunate 23.
Number 5
Speed & Adaptability
Aligned with Mercury, the fastest planet. Dubai and the USA vibrate to this number. Once barren, Dubai became an oasis of luxury, a testament to Mercurial speed.
Case Studies: Vibrational Shifts in Action
Chennai’s Shift
From 15 (Madras) to 25 (Chennai)
Madras added up to the prosperous number 15 (Venus). The city was progressive and thriving. However, Chennai adds up to 25, a warning number tied to misfortune through partnerships, bad advice, or natural upheavals.
Post-renaming, the city tragically faced both the Tsunami and devastating floods—a grim reflection of its changed numerical resonance.
The Kashmier Proposal
From 18 (Kashmir) to 23 (Kashmier)
Kashmir vibrates to the disruptive number 18. We proposed a simple spelling change to Kashmier, which adds to 23, the 'Royal Star of the Lion'. This shift could invite prosperity and peace to the troubled valley.
Interestingly, the Indian Army has adopted this spelling on its website—proof that numerology can inspire pragmatic solutions for a better future.
The Unseen Forces in a Name
Names are not mere labels; they are living vibrations that shape the destiny of millions. A city’s prosperity—or its turmoil—can often be traced back to the numbers it resonates with.
"What’s in a name? Everything—for in names lie the unseen forces that can build civilizations or bring them to their knees."
It's hence better that we use Bharat (15), a progressive country poised for greatness, rather than India.
