Vedic mythology and names of gods

 

gods of Vedic mythology and metaphysical sense of names

 

The eighth page results the general table according to which gods of Vedic mythology correspond with numbers in numerology and sounds of human speech, and also results methods of numerological calculations according to which it is possible to compare words and names of people to gods of Vedic mythology.

Gods of Vedic mythology and metaphysical sense of names.

In total 33 gods of the Vedic pantheon of gods correspond with 12 zodiac signs and are displayed in 8 directions of light (cardinal points of world), and also correspond with 9 numerological numbers. In effect 33 gods cover space of the world as the astrological circle of zodiac signs and the magic square of numerological numbers and also 8 directions of light are formal symbols of a universe, and formal symbols of laws existing in the world, and formal symbols of ratio by which gods are interconnected. Therefore the general (common) chart of 33 gods of Vedic mythology can be shown as astrological circle connected with numerological numbers:

Red color shows names of heavenly gods Adityas in the pantheon of Vedic gods and the appropriate sounds of speech.
Blue color shows names of atmospheric gods in the category Rudras and also gods Ashvins in the pantheon of Vedic gods and the appropriate sounds of speech.
Green color shows names of terrestrial gods Vasus in the pantheon of Vedic gods and the appropriate sounds of speech.
Names of gods correspond with zodiac signs and numerological numbers, but in the centre of astrological circle there is a name of god INDRA who does not correspond with zodiac signs but corresponds with number 5 in numerology.

Comparison of gods of Vedic mythology and sounds of human speech with numbers in numerology allows to calculate numerical values of letters in words and to compare numerical values of letters to characteristics of gods, and including allows to compare numerical values of human names to characteristics of gods. It is possible to apply shown below summary table of numerological numbers and letters of the modern Russian alphabet for this purpose:

table of numbers in numerology and 33 letters of the Russian alphabet The shown table is convenient for numerological calculations, but results of numerological calculations are necessary for analyzing by means of the chart of 33 gods of Vedic mythology shown above.

Letters of the Russian alphabet (Russian phonemes) can be correlated to letters of the English alphabet (transcriptions of the English language) and consequently it is possible to calculate ratio of the English words and names with numbers in numerology and with gods of Vedic mythology. Namely it is necessary to transform the English words or names and to write by means of Russian phonemes, and then it is possible to calculate numerical values of the English words and names. For this purpose use the following table:

Russian phonemes and transcriptions of English language for numerology The detailed information on comparison of transcriptions of the English language with Russian phonemes look in the other section: metalinguistics.

For realization of numerological calculations it is necessary to summarize numerical values of letters in a word then it is necessary to correlate the calculated number with names of the appropriate gods of Vedic mythology. For example, the word SUN has the numerical sum of letters 9+3+4+1+3+9=29=2+9=11=1+1=2 that corresponds with characteristics which belong to gods PUSHAN, ASHVINS, SOMA who correspond with the numerological number 2. Namely besides usual sense, which designates the sun as heavenly object, in the word there is metaphysical sense which is connected to characteristics of gods of Vedic mythology.
Or the word SKY has the numerical sum of letters 1+9+9+3=22=2+2=4 that corresponds with characteristics of gods ANSA, VAYU, PRABHASA, namely to everyone numerological number there correspond some gods in the pantheon of Vedic mythology and consequently each word has complex metaphysical sense which develops of characteristics of gods.
Also human names have complex metaphysical senses and correspond with gods who personify different philosophical concepts. Namely 33 gods of the Vedic pantheon are elements of a universe, and fill the sky and the ground, and penetrate space between heaven and earth, and also penetrate spheres of the human person. Heavenly gods Adityas correspond with sphere of human consciousness. Gods Rudras are in space between heaven and earth or otherwise to tell atmospheric gods and consequently correspond with sphere of human individuality. Terrestrial gods Vasus correspond with sphere of human feelings.
In process of numerological calculations it is necessary to consider:
- the sum of numerical values of letters of the first name in comparison with heavenly gods;
- the sum of numerical values of letters of the first name and the second name (surname or family name) in comparison with atmospheric gods;
- the sum of numerical values of letters of the family name in comparison with terrestrial gods.
As the name and family name of the man correspond with three spheres of the human person:
- the name corresponds with consciousness;
- the name plus family name correspond with individuality;
- the family name corresponds with feelings.
Pronouncing of a name influences consciousness of the man. Pronouncing of a name and family name influences individuality of the man. Pronouncing of a family name influences feelings if to take into account that feelings react much more strongly when a family name is told, rather when a name is told.
For numerological analyses of a name and a family name it is possible to use the following table:

table for calculations of numbers of human names in numerology In the table it is possible to see the calculated numerological sums of numerical values of letters in the name and the family name of Michael Lermontov (Russian poet).
The number of a name is calculated in the top line of the table, the number of a family name is calculated in the bottom line of the table, the number of a name plus family name is calculated in the middle line of the table .
The top line of the table corresponds to sphere of consciousness, the middle line of the table corresponds to sphere of individuality, the bottom line of the table corresponds to sphere of feelings.
In the top line there are names of heavenly gods who correspond to number of a name; in the middle line there are names of gods who correspond to number of a name plus family name; in the bottom line there are names of gods who correspond to number of a family name.

As it is possible to see, numbers multiple to number 3 are calculated in three spheres of person of Michael Lermontov: in sphere of consciousness number 3, in sphere of individuality number 3, in sphere of feelings number 9, that speaks about harmony of three spheres and harmony of the person. To sphere of consciousness there correspond heavenly gods VIVASVAT and VARUNA who correspond with zodiac signs Scorpio and Crab and consequently it is possible to correlate parameters of consciousness of Michael Lermontov to characteristics of zodiac signs Scorpio and Crab in a context of astrology. To sphere of individuality there correspond atmospheric gods PARJANYA and AHY BUDHNYA who correspond with the numerological number 3 and consequently it is possible to correlate parameters of individuality of Michael Lermontov to characteristics of number 3 in a context of numerology. To sphere of feelings there corresponds terrestrial god DHARA who corresponds with the southern direction of light and consequently it is possible to correlate parameters of feelings of Michael Lermontov to characteristics which associate with the south.
Namely characteristics of directions of light (cardinal points of world) have the following values:
- the southern direction is a kind character;
- the northern direction is a severe character;
- the western direction is a gloomy character as the sun comes for horizon in the west;
- the east direction is a vital character as the sun ascends in the east;
- the southwest direction is a connection of kind southern character and gloomy western character;
- the southeast direction is a connection of kind southern character and vital east character;
- the northwest direction is a connection of severe northern character and gloomy western character;
- the northeast direction is a connection of severe northern character and vital east character.
It is necessary to take into account that characteristics of directions of light cannot be correlated to characteristics of peoples which live in the north or in the south, in the west or in the east as the man can be in different points of a terrestrial surface. But it is necessary to take into account the general associations according to which the north symbolizes a cold, the south symbolizes heat, the west symbolizes a sunset, the east symbolizes a rising sun. And also it is impossible to compare directions of light and the appropriate terrestrial gods of Vedic mythology to gods keepers of the world ("guardians of the world" or Lokapalas) of Hindu mythology as ratio of gods in Hindu mythology are changed in comparison with ancient Vedic mythology.
Except for calculations of numerical values of letters it is possible to consider metaphysical senses of human names without numerological calculations according to ratio of letters with gods. For example, the name SVETLANA consists of three letters which correspond with heavenly gods in the category Adityas; two letters which correspond with atmospheric gods in the category Rudras; two letters which correspond with terrestrial gods in the category Vasus. Hence, the metaphysical sense of the name SVETLANA is connected to gods of Vedic mythology who correspond with three spheres, as shown in the following table:

metaphysical sense of names and numerology of letters Heavenly gods VARUNA, ANSA, SURYA correspond with sphere of consciousness.
Atmospheric gods APAM NAPAT and RUDRA correspond with sphere of individuality.
Terrestrial gods DHARA and SOMA correspond with sphere of feelings.
It is possible to consider zodiac signs, numerological numbers and directions of light with which the listed gods correspond, or it is possible to consider characteristics of gods which are described in texts of Vedas, namely poetic epithets and metaphors of gods of Vedic mythology it is possible to correlate to three spheres and to analyze psychological features of people.

But it is necessary to distinguish characteristics of gods in Vedic mythology and characteristics of gods in Hindu mythology as the same gods in two mythological systems personify different phenomena of the world. Namely it is necessary to distinguish gods in texts of Vedas and gods in epic texts of Mahabharata and Ramayana as texts of Vedas are a basis of Vedic mythology, and texts of Mahabharata and Ramayana are a basis of Hindu mythology. And also it is necessary to take into account that in comments to Vedas and in philosophical texts of Brahmans, Puranas, Upanishads in some cases gods correspond to criteria of Vedic mythology, but in most cases correspond to various philosophical directions of Hinduism and deny criteria of Vedic mythology. And moreover it is necessary to take into account that directly texts of Vedas have different understanding of properties which gods have, but nevertheless the hierarchy of Vedic gods corresponds with a phonetic structure of human speech that allows to analyze metaphysical senses of words according to characteristics of gods.

The following page describes differences of Hindu mythology and Vedic mythology.
