Kamakoti. Org/news as also on Google by the respective references. The one with * is under process] 2 PREFACE Here are simple explantions of Vedic Numbers, but not indeed of Sankhya Yoga nor its Mimaamsa. General awareness of the common meanings and the power of numbers is useful to realize. But the knowledge of the numbers backed up by authoritative sources is sought to be described in this script. Ranging from one to many, the numbers selected yield intrinsic thought and comprehension. The chosen numericals thus seek to provide deeper purport. The pieces of information are being presented and edited from various sources especially from Puranas, Upanishads, Smritis and other Scriptures of the yore. The series of Essence of Puranas etc. as published by the kamakoti.org/ articles from time to time for years now are handy as several references are made about Srishti, Deva -Devis, Pancha Bhutas, Principles of Dharma, Vidhis, Purushardhas, and so on. Since this knowledge is accessible readily, the information of the ‘Sanjna Parijnana’ is thus being presented, in addition to a few other sources too. I am beholden to HH Vijayendra Saraswati of Kanchi Mutt for the unfailing encouragement and guidance in the golden task of Dharma Prachara. His solid support emboldens me to edit this Guide as a ready Reference and hope it could serve the purpose as a Manual of Numbers and their import. I dedicate this effort to Maha Swami of Kanchi Mutt as we are ever beholden to his blessings for ever!
