ESSENCE OF NUMBERS त्रीणि = THREE

 


त्रीणि = THREE

Throughout human history, the number 3 has always had a unique significance, but why? The ancient Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, postulated that the meaning behind numbers was deeply significant. In their eyes the number 3 was considered as the perfect number, the number of harmony, wisdom and understanding.

The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection. If there ever was a desire to highlight an idea, thought, event or noteworthy figure in the Bible for their prominence, the number 3 was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfillment on the subject.

The number 3 has always held powerful symbolism. Think about good things coming in 3s, the birth-life-death cycle, the mind-body-soul connection, the 3 acts of a typical story. Wherever the number 3 shows up in your life, it's generally an omen of creativity, communication, optimism, and curiosity!

The number 3 holds significance in Vedic astrology due to the Trimurti concept of divine forces. Trines, formed by planets at a 120-degree angle, create harmonious energy. Number 3 symbolizes balance and positive growth.

1)  शूलम् = Tident the weapon of Lord Siva;

2) त्रिगुणाः = Natures a)= Noble b) = Violence  c) = Ignorance;
