ESSENCE OF NUMBERS द्वे = TWO

द्वे  = TWO

The number 2 is the smallest and the only even prime number. As the smallest prime number, two is also the smallest non-zero pronic number, and the only pronic prime.

In Sanskrit the following words indicate the number 2:

1)  नेत्र or नयन or चक्षुः or अक्षि = Eyes;

2) हस्त or पाणि = Hands;

3) यम or युगल or युग्म = Pair

4) पक्ष = One Fortnight (indicates 15 Days for Solar & Lunar days in a            month);

5) अश्विनिदेवताs the pair of Divine Physicians;

6) अयन = Six months viz., Dakshinayana & Uttharayana.

Number 2 in numerology is a lucky number. Number 2 is ruled by the Moon representing sensitivity, emotions , Mother , travel , Home and creativity. Number 2 is similar to the Cancer sign ruled by the Moon in Astrology.

The number 2 symbolizes many of the basic dualities: me/you, male/female, yes/no, alive/dead, left/right, yin/yang, and so on. Dualities are common in human approaches to the world, probably because of our preference for two-valued logic—yet another duality, true/false.

Number 2 in astrology, linked to Taurus, promotes balance, harmony, and compassion. It underscores the significance of kindness, understanding, and nurturing strong relationships to create a better world for all.

Bhagavad Gita says:

सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ । ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि ॥

sukhaduḥkhe same kṛtvā lābhālābhau jayājayau,
tato yuddhāya yujyasva naivaṁ pāpamavāpsyasi.

Having made pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat equal, engage in battle for the sake of battle; thus, you shall not incur sin.
