The sound or name of a person or business largely influences others’ perception. It is also possible the person with a specific name gets certain characteristics simply because of the name. The names of business have effect on the minds of people – both as employees and as customers. Some business names are easily recognizable and are kept in the minds of people, while others are not.

Numerology in Indian astrology explores the options of removing the negative effects on persons or businesses by making small modifications.

There is confusion about Dhanwantary as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu or a group of gods who transcribed the knowledge of life (Ayurveda) to humankind.

A story tells Lord Dhanvantary appeared from the ocean with a pot of divine nectar of immortality, while the gods and demons were churning the ocean of milk (palazhi). This story undermines Dhanvantary as an incarnation of Lord Vishu, because Lord Vishnu was in the form of a tortoise supporting the Mandara Mountain, which was used to churn the ocean.

This dhanvantary has four arms, each bearing different items signifying the different specialties in Ayurveda. One among the objects is a leech, signifying surgery in Ayurveda.

A re-incarnation of this Dhanvantary occurred when the King of Kasi was able to ask Lord Dhanvantary as his son. Lord Dhanvantary, responding to the deep penance the King of Kasi was in, agreed to be born in human form. He, as the son of the King of Kasi remained an ascetic, but was forced to become the King of Kasi. He prepared the treatises of Ayurveda on all the eight limbs of Ayurveda.

The story of Ashwini Gods
Ashwini Gods or Aswini kumaras were said to present the knowledge of Ayurveda to Lord Indra, the king of Gods. Lord Indra gave this knowledge to Dhanvantari, Kashayapa and Bharadwaj. These three seers are still held in esteemed position by Ayurveda practitioners.

Aswini Twins and Lord Dhanvantary (Dhanvatars) are regarded as gods of Ayurveda.

It is a complete science on home building and building construction. No one rule on building is out of place. Each rule described in vastu has specific implications.

The four elements of Vastu are

Vastu shastra is fine tuned knowledge of geometry and energy manifestations.

According to Indian astrology there are nine planets that have influence on earth and all earthly matters. The positions of the planets (sun and moon are two among the planets), determine the health, wealth, physical condition and health of a person.

There is specific time right to start any venture and for special occasions like wedding, house warming, starting one’s education etc.

The position of stars and planets at the time of birth of a person has its effect on the person. His/her health condition, mental bearings, education, wealth, etc will be determined by the exact positions of the stars.

This concept is the basis of drawing natal charts called jataka or horoscope. Jataka (literally means birth) describes the events that would happen in the life of the person.

There are also specific methods to identify the position of planets and starts at the time of birth of a baby. Now software products are available in large numbers to calculate the timing and position of stars and planets and to derive the implications.

Another division of Indian astrology is palmistry. The lines on the hands really are reflections of mental bearings. Accurately reading the palm lines can tell a palm reader the life story of a person.
