Selecting a name for a newborn child has always been a complex and fascinating process. In India, for thousands of years, the selection of the name was performed according to a traditional system, one that eliminated personal bias and reflected, according to astrological principles, the best qualities that the child was supposed to grow up with.

This name was derived after calculations involving the horoscope, the exact time and place of birth, as well as the traditional textual links between numbers so derived and letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. This was not an easy or a trivial process, requiring deep knowledge of the ancient texts as well as their applicability in normal or special circumstances. It required specialized training as well as a thorough grounding in the methodologies and processes of the Rites and Rituals dimension of the Hindu Religion, known as the Karma Kanda.

indiayogi is pleased to offer Indian Baby Name Advice - a service of finding the spiritually most appropriate alphabet to begin your child's name with, based strictly on traditional astrological principles. Some options will be provided to give you an idea of what the name could be, but these examples will be purely indicative. You can choose any name you like beginning with the alphabet recommended by our Expert. Click on the 'Order Now' button to learn more. Our Expert is Shri Anil Pandya, who belongs to a spiritual lineage of Brahmins that have been performing the Karma Kanda for many generations.

Those who do not want a purely Hindu or Indian name can also utilize this service as the choice of the initial letter for the name is unaffected by language. Such a choice will still reflect a spiritual approach to naming the child rather than random selection.
