Nakshatra, pada and rashi

Nataraj starts with the syllable Na (ना), which the Avakahada chakra gives to Anuradha pada 1, in Vrishchika (Scorpio) rashi. By tradition it suits a child whose Moon was in that pada at birth.

The fit comes from the name's first sound only; the Moon's nakshatra pada at birth is calculated in the Kundli.

Name number (numerology)

In the Chaldean system the letters of “Nataraj” add up to 15, which reduces to 6; Indian numerology associates 6 with Venus (Shukra).

Numerology is a traditional belief system, not a calculation of the sky; other spellings give other numbers. Numerology calculator
