Cities

Cities have been renamed in the past and many a time, as a Numerologist, we could interpret 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, and again 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 and lakhs 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)
