Lens of Numerology

Every year ‘Oct 1’ is celebrated as “National Voluntary Blood Donation Day”.

Applying the lens of numerology on this day, the birth number is 1 which is ruled by Sun. Like Sun gives sunlight to each one of us and has been giving this since centuries without many expectations in return.

Similarly, Number 1 (ruled by sun) is a number which believes on “Voluntary Donation” with no expectations at back of their mind.

Furthermore, the day falls within the zodiac of ‘Libra’ which is ruled by Venus (6). As per mythology, this is one of planet responsible for healing of public and mankind. It is also responsible for public movements or public led initiatives with their wish. The planet Venus also rules the modern world medical care especially advancements in medical care.

Furthermore, the planet Venus is often called as “Shukra” dev in hindi which derives its name from great sage Shukracharya (who was the son of Bhrigu rishi who is one of saptarishis). In mythology, ‘Shukracharya’ is one of few people who knew ‘mrit sanjivani vidya’ and same holds true for today as well. The Blood being donated voluntarily may serve a saviour to many who might have succumbed due to its unavailability

The lens of numerology will be incomplete on this day until we look at the life of Dr J G Jolly who was the front runner of this movement and his birthday has been accepted as the day by government as well.

It won’t be wrong to say, every monumental work carries the legacy of person who has spear headed the movement. Same is true for this case on social level as well as on the paradigm of numerology.

Looking at Date of birth of Dr. Jai Gopal Jolly, (Oct 1, 1926)

Applying lens of numerology on this date of birth, the destiny number for the day is 2 (compound number 20). The number 2 ruled by Moon is also responsible for all fluids within the human body including WBCs, Plasma and Lymph. Furthermore, the number 2 is also responsible for empathy and emotional connect of a person for society.

The presence of zero in this 2, helps outburst and sudden expansion of this for public.

This number 2 from the series of 20 is serving as a shadow number for ‘Oct 1’ and serving as empathetic movement for voluntary blood donation.

Additionally, if we look at the birth name, especially the first name ‘Jai’ adds to Number 3 (ruled by Jupiter) and the first letter is ‘J’ which ruled by number 1.

The letter J of roman language is similar to ‘Jera’ of runic alphabet which symbolizes fulfilment of efforts and wishes. So true it holds for Dr Jolly, who invested his life for this mission and finally this has been given due credit over decades.

If we look at his full name, ‘Dr Jai Gopal Jolly’ this adds to Number 1 (compound number 46). This numbers also support the traits and stories mentioned prior.

Numerological parameters of the given day do support the noble cause it has been envisioned. I, Sidhharrth S Kumaar, wish all the best to each one who has donated in the past and invite all others to come in big number and take a pledge to donate blood on regular intervals.
