Baby`s Name and Nakshatram

In Hindu society from ancient times, the child is given a name by his/her parents with the name having deep meaning and starting with first alphabet of his/her Nakshatra. Most of the names are either related to God or other good things. By simply hearing the name one can judge about the nature of the person.

The main reason to choose a name based on Nakshatra is that it vibrates in harmony with the nature of the individual in this particular incarnation, by virtue of its unique relation to the moon at the moment of birth, which has a significant impact on the inner, emotional nature. The moon is associated with consciousness, particularly with the right brain. Each phase of the moon carries its own special energy. According to traditional astrologers, among the most auspicious Hindu first names begin the syllables that corresponds to one's birth star, called Nakshatra, which is the constellation with which the moon was aligned at the moment of birth. In ancient days, as today, this first sound of the first name was extremely important to knowledgeable preceptors.
