Vedic numerology, also known as "Vedic Numerology," "Indian Numerology," or "Vedic Chaldean Numerology," is a system of numerology that originated in ancient India and is based on the principles of Vedic astrology. It assigns numerical values to the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet and uses these values to analyze and interpret various aspects of a person's life, including personality traits, compatibility, and life events.

In Vedic numerology, each letter of the Sanskrit alphabet is assigned a specific numerical value based on its position in the alphabet. These numerical values are then used to calculate the numerical vibrations associated with a person's name or birth date. The interpretation of these numerical vibrations provides insights into different aspects of the person's life.

Similar to other forms of numerology, Vedic numerology involves calculations such as reducing numbers to single digits through addition (e.g., 25 becomes 2+5=7) and analyzing the significance of master numbers (e.g., 11, 22, 33) that are not reduced further.

Some common practices in Vedic numerology include:

1. Name Numerology: Analyzing the numerical vibrations associated with a person's name to determine personality traits, strengths, weaknesses, and potential life paths.

2. Birth Date Numerology: Examining the numerical vibrations associated with a person's birth date to gain insights into their destiny, life purpose, and compatibility with others.

3. Compatibility Analysis: Comparing the numerical vibrations of two individuals' names or birth dates to assess compatibility in relationships, partnerships, and marriages.

4. Remedies: Recommending specific remedies, such as changing the spelling of a name or wearing gemstones, to harmonize and balance the numerical vibrations in a person's life.

Vedic numerology is deeply intertwined with the broader context of Vedic philosophy and astrology, and its interpretations often draw upon ancient Indian wisdom and spiritual principles. Like other forms of numerology, Vedic numerology is not scientifically proven, and its effectiveness and accuracy may vary depending on individual beliefs and interpretations.
