In love with numbers
There is at least one person who fervently wishes that India change her name to `Bharat'; but why? So that she may progress and prosper and it will be better times for her in the years to come.
He is very well justified in his wish, for he is one person who even changed his name so that he will be successful in life. And he believes he has achieved what he had aspired for. It is a success story that he has to tell!
For Penamal Sanjeevan Nehru, who was earlier known as Sankaraiah P., the decision to assume a new name was not incidental, but very well thought of and further more, based on certain arithmetical calculations. Since then his calculations have seldom gone wrong and today he has made a name for himself as a numerologist who decides as to what changes one should effect in one's name for being successful in life.
J. Ajeth Kumar meets the numerologist in his hotel room in the city.
MAKING NUMEROLO-GICAL calculations, as Mr. Nehru puts it, is like "tapping the source from the tank which is fed by a perennial source''. Numerology is based on pure mathematical calculations.
Cheiro, a Norwegian who discovered the value of each of the 26 alphabets in English, had assigned a particular number to each of them. Using the alphabets and the date of birth of the individual, fortunes can be changed with slight corrections necessary to bring good luck.
``The date of birth and the name given to a person has to be in harmony in the case of an individual and the name in the case of an organisation,'' he explains. Numerology has transformed the lives of many politicians, film personalities, business houses and even ordinary mortals. There is no better proof that Nehru can offer but his own life.
The Tirupati-based Sankaraiah was a design engineer by profession. Leaving his job as a designer of thermal power stations for the BHEL, he took a plunge into politics where he could not really make it big. What was in store for him was utter disappointment. It dawned on a thoroughly frustrated Sankaraiah that numerology was wielding a tremendous influence on the destinies of the successful people.
By his meticulous observation, he realised how important numerology was in the life of an individual. One midnight, he decided to change his name and Sanjeevan Nehru began to feel the change for the better in less than eight hours. In the meantime, he had also acquired a thorough knowledge of palmistry and astrology.
And since then there has been no looking back for P.S.Nehru who now has a rich clientele, including people in high places. He also cites the experience of J.Jayalalithaa, who bounced back to the saddle in Tamil Nadu after she had added an extra `a' to her name. Her counterpart in Andhra Pradesh too has a name that is compatible with his date of birth. Other similar fortunate names are those of Jawaharlal Nehru (incidentally P.S. Nehru himself adores Pandit Nehru), P.V. Narasimha Rao, George W. Bush, M.G. Ramachandran, Dhirubai Ambani, Venkaiah Naidu, his party-- the BJP, the BSP, Miss World Priyanka Chopra and Osama Bin Laden. While Veerappan also figures in this list, the likes of H. Nagappa and Rajkumar were not so lucky.
In numbers also there are good and bad ones as there are among human beings, Nehru observes. The destiny number, coinciding with the date of birth can't be changed. However, it is possible to bring about positive changes with certain minor alterations in one's name. Even if a name acquires a funny sound in the process, by adding an `a' here or an `i' there, just don't mind but rest assured that the wheel of fortune will be turning your way, he asserts. "The Oxford dictionary does not come to one's rescue. But numerology does,'' he adds.
Nehru suggests a change in the spelling of A.K. Antony, which he believes will bring good luck to Kerala as a whole. Thiruvananthapuram also needs an additional `a' to develop in the desired manner.
Both P.S. Nehru and his wife Thulasi, an expert in `Gemmology', are in town and can be contacted at the Hotel South Park. Their son is a practising doctor in Tirupati, and daughter, a software engineer in the U.S.
