What’s in a Name? Everything in Numerology!
In Vedic Numerology, every alphabet carries a vibration, and every name a frequency. From individuals to corporations, and even cities — everything is ruled by numbers. Renaming a city without understanding its numerological implications can uplift millions — or spell disaster.
From Bombay to Mumbai, Madras to Chennai, Poona to Pune — India has witnessed a wave of renamings. But have these changes brought good fortune, or invited calamities?
Let’s decode the mysterious and magical world of Cities & Numerology with Astrologer Manisha Bharati.
🌆 Pune (Poona): A City that Benefited from Numerology
Poona was renamed to Pune, which now adds up to 24 — a Venus (6) number associated with love, luxury, harmony, and peace. Unsurprisingly, Pune is now among India’s most livable cities. Many numerologically lucky places like Paris, Thailand, France, and Hawaii also resonate with the same number (6 = Venus).
🏙️ Bengaluru vs Bengaluroo – A Numerological Warning
When Bangalore was about to be renamed to Bengaluroo, we advised against it. Fortunately, they went with Bengaluru, which adds to 33, another powerful Venus number known for peace, success, and charm. The result? Bengaluru continues to be India’s tech hub and a symbol of modern success.
💥 Mumbai: From Prosperity to Chaos?
Bombay added up to 17, the number of spiritual elevation, immortality, and fame. It's no surprise that Bombay was a magnet for dreams and success.
But Mumbai = 18, a number associated with bloodshed, deception, betrayal, and natural disasters. Sadly, this has been witnessed through events like:
- 26/7 Mumbai floods (26 = 8, Saturn’s destructive day)
- 2008 terror attacks
- Frequent civic and political unrest
🔺18 in Numerology also links to 666, the Number of the Beast in Revelation 13:18, symbolizing chaos, deception, and destruction.
🌊 Chennai (Madras): A Loss in Vibrations?
Madras once vibrated to a fortunate number. But Chennai = 25, which represents:
"Strength gained through experience but not deemed lucky. Indicates disaster via partnerships and alliances."
Tsunami, heavy floods, and infrastructure decline post-renaming have echoed this forecast. A cautionary tale for future name changes.
📉 Gujarat, Srilanka, Srinagar – All Number 18
It’s no coincidence that places like Gujarat (18), Srinagar (18), and Sri Lanka (18) have seen war, earthquakes, or social disruption. These cities carry the Mars-Saturn (Mangal-Shani) vibrations — conflict, unrest, and destruction.
🔥 Number 9 – Power and Destruction
While Number 9 (Mars) offers energy and aggression — it must be used carefully.
Examples:
- Sreesanth and Irfan Pathan (both Mars ruled) wear jerseys like 36/63 to channel controlled aggression in cricket.
- Salman Khan, Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan — all Mars-influenced — show strength but also volatility.
🌞 The Power of Sun: Shift to Number 1 or 19
A better alternate? Shift to names adding up to 19 — the Sun’s number:
“Prince of Heaven”, promising happiness, prosperity, and triumph.
Proposed Spellings:
- Mumbaii or Mumbaai = 19 (Sun) — could reverse negative energy.
- Sun-ruled cities/nations like USA, Dubai, and leaders like Bill Gates, Mukesh Ambani, Indira Gandhi — all carry this energy.
📍 Kashmier Instead of Kashmir?
Since 2003, we’ve advocated spelling Kashmir as Kashmier, which adds to 23:
“The Royal Star of the Lion” – success, protection, and high connections.
Even the Indian Army began using Kashmier in their communication. A small change in spelling could bring big relief to the Valley.
🇮🇳 Bharat vs India – Which is Better?
- Bharat = 15, Venus number of beauty, prosperity, love.
- India = 3, Jupiter – growth, expansion, wealth.
Both are good, but Bharat holds the luxury factor of Venus, and represents a more rooted and abundant vibration.

🧿 Final Thoughts: Never Rename Without Numerological Guidance
Names are more than words. They are vibrations that shape fate.
🛑 Renaming a city without proper numerology is like prescribing medicine without a doctor.
✨ On the other hand, names aligned with positive numerological frequencies (1, 3, 5, 6, 15, 23, 24, 33) can change the trajectory of millions.
