Using a mathematical formula, we are able to evaluate both your name and date of birth.

Your name and your date of birth need to have the same mathematical value in order for you to have a balanced name. A balanced name creates harmony in one's life as one's Inner Nature will be in balance with one's Outer Nature.

Use our online test to help determine if your name is balanced with your birth date.

• Enter a date of birth.
• Enter a first name.
• Use birth certificate date.
• Send email for assistance in choosing a balanced name.

Samkhya Yoga is a mathematical science that measures the movements of the heavens. Samkhya Yoga is expressed in mathematical equations.

Yantra Yoga is a sub–lesson of Samkhya Yoga and uses the same mathematical formulas but in regards to a personal level. Using a mathematical formula, we are able to evaluate both your name and date of birth.

Yantric Yogis will tell you that a balanced name creates harmony in one's life as one's Param Purusha (your higher self) will be in balance with one's Purusha (your real self).

Your date of birth is fixed in stone and cannot be changed.

In Yantra Yoga, we seek to harmonize the vibration of the name with the birthpath. Since we can't change your date of birth to match the vibration of your name, we change the name to match the birthpath.

We encourage everyone to contact us, free of charge, for assistance before selecting a Wise Name.

We look at several sub–influences in addition to the main consideration that the neophyte will not be aware of nor privvy too.

All of us have a Life Lesson or Soul Number and 3 Minor Lessons or Sub–Lessons in life. Each Minor Lesson is its own Birthpath.

From 0 to 27, we are the student or son.

From 27 to 54, we are the teacher or father.

From 54 to death, is the spiritual phase of our life or the holy spirit.

Thus, the 3 stages of our life create the Holy Trinity as described in Christianity.

During each of these birthpaths, our First Name should have the same Vibration as our birthpath.

As a result, most people need 3 different names during their life time. Some need two different names and there are a few that have the same birthpath their entire life and thus only need 1 name.

Having a balanced name is a cornerstone of Yantra Yoga. In many ways, Yantra Yoga is both the easiest and possibly most difficult of all Yogas. It's easy because all it requires is a Balanced Name. It's difficult because many of use are attached to our name or for family, cultural and other reasons feel the pressure of being unable to legally change our name.

A Balanced Name doesn't create a Miracle. It just helps us unfold in life in whichever way and however we are meant to. Life is but an experience to be embraced.

A Balanced Name helps point us in the right direction to obtain Self–Realization, but A Balanced Name doesn't do the work for You. You must still be willing to work at it. But being pointed in the right direction is a powerful tool that's worth taking advantage of.
