From my Guru Sh. A. B. Shuklaji
It is a misconception that the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) as well as zero were invented by westerners or Arabs. This is a myth. Actually our ancestors not only invented each number but also understood the meaning of each and defined them. I will try to wipe out this myth in subsequent articles. I have explained only three numbers below for a limited purpose of this post.
Do you know that the first number that our sages invented was Infinite or Anant (which perhaps westerners didn't know). They saw the sky/space and felt the power of omnipresent. They equated this to Brahma and found him to be complete and present everywhere.
They described that property of HIS in these lines –
Similarly they felt numeral 1 also as Brahma and numeral 9 as shadow of Brahma. You can see their property. Anything multiplied by 1 does not change. Also if you add 9 to any number, the single digit sum remains same (say 32 – its single digit sum is 2+3=5, now if you add 9 to it i.e. 32+9=41. Its single digit sum is 4+1=5). So, numeral 1 and 9 also represent completeness.
Now let me come to the point. The planets except Sun and Moon have been given two rasis each. You may observe that the two rasis awarded to every planet are in such a way that it represents completeness or in other words completeness of particular properties. You may see this below:
Mars 1+8=9
Venus 2+7=9
Mercury 3+6=9
Jupiter 9+12=21 (21-12=9)
Saturn 10+11=21 (21-12=9)
And finally Sun i.e. 5+ Moon i.e. 4= 9
There has to be lordship of planets as per concept of completeness as above. The lordships are therefore not given at random, rather these are as per perfect design.
