Name Your Baby With Tamil Astrology

The ancient art of Tamil astrology is much like Western Astrology. It observes the planets and stars with similar zodiac signs, but Tamil bases many elements such as birth times to correspond not only to constellations but to earthly places, weather conditions, and numerology. Users of this form of astrology look to it daily, yearly and on special occasions to predict auspicious times to form marriages, business partnerships and to plan other important life events.

When it comes to naming a baby, Tamil astrology is frequently consulted. The process of naming a child is important to fulfilling his or her karma. The choice of naming a baby is based on nakshatra or one of the 28 lunar mansions in the sky.

This involves associating the nakshatra with a sounded-out form of the Aksharam. Each birth star has its own sound. You choose a name that starts with the sound closest to the star under which the child is born. These sounds reflect the character and tendencies of the baby throughout their life.

To choose a name, you pick the first letter of the baby’s name on the birth date and star. This is also called janma nadchathiram. It combines naming a baby using the Tamil astrology tradition together with numerology.

A ceremony is also done a few weeks following the birth of a child. This Namakaranam ceremony is important. Both the mother and the father start a ritual with prayers and chants. This is done in the presence of family members and a priest.

The parents spread rice grains on a plate, and the father writes the baby’s name while he chants a mantra. As he does this, he also whispers the baby’s name into the baby’s ear. The ceremony closes with blessings for the elders and a feast for family and friends to enjoy.

It is not difficult to prepare for the ceremony and choose a baby’s name using Tamil astrology. You can now make use of online resources to check predictions for your baby-to-be. The expected due date is a good date to go by to plan names in advance.

Websites will list many names of babies for you to choose. Select the first letter of the name based on the actual birth date or the projected birth date. There is usually a way to save your choices so that you can refer to them again online until you have made your final choice for your baby’s name.
