Beschreibung

The book "Sacred Numbers of Hinduism: Exploring Their Mysticism and Symbolism" is unique and one of a kind. In this book, the author, Jayaram V, uses his mystical and intuitive knowledge to explore the connections between numbers and several natural and divine phenomena, and how the numbers symbolize various gods and goddesses and their respective roles, status, and functions in God's creation. This well-researched book examines the deeply hidden connections between numbers and truths of the mind and body, the world, the rituals people practice, the gods they worship, and the mysteries that baffle us and defy our intellect. While presenting their symbolic significance in Hinduism, he also briefly discusses the mystic symbolism of numbers that were prevalent in various ancient cultures, suggesting that the concept was not peculiar to Hinduism but was a common theme of the ancient mystic world and philosophical speculation. Using his insightful and intuitive analysis, Jayaram V uncovers the hidden symbolism behind numbers from zero to ten, demonstrating their association with important beliefs and practices of Hinduism and providing the readers with a comprehensive understanding of how numbers were used in ancient India to envision a grand view of Hindu cosmology from a numerical perspective.

The introduction explains how ancient Indians envisioned numbers hidden in the structure and function of creation and the order of divinities who uphold it. The second chapter addresses the concept of zero, its universal symbolism of emptiness, nothingness, and immeasurability, and its significance in Hinduism as a symbol of infinity and the Nirguna Brahman, the Unmanifested Brahman. Chapters three to eleven explore the multiple meanings of numbers from one to nine, their numerical forms according to gender and case, their uniqueness and symbolism, and what they represent in Hindu cosmology, God's manifestations, the Hindu pantheon, and various other aspects of creation. Chapter Twelve presents the symbolic significance of the number ten, its historical development in the decimal system, and its religious and spiritual symbolism. The next chapter provides information on numbers higher than ten, their symbolic meanings, and associations with various concepts and divinities. The final chapter discusses the numbers in Hindu philosophy.This book aims to draw the readers' attention to the fact that numbers are hidden and at work in various objects, structures, and functions of our existence, including our bodies and the world or universe in which we live. It encourages them to explore the subject further and understand the hidden connections and symbolism associated with numbers.
