Numerology is a system where it is believed that each number or digit is related to a planet and each letter as per English language is related to a number or digit. It is also believed that number or numbers arrived by calculating the date of birth guide and control our lives. It is further believed that by making suitable changes in the spelling of name of a person, his fate can also be changed.   In this system the date of birth is taken as per the English calendar and the name as spelt in English only.  If a person is born on say 6th December, 2012, his number is taken by the date “6” and then again by adding all the numbers as per his birth date of 6.12.2012 which comes to 6+1+2+2+0+1+2=14+ 1+4=5. In this case the number as per the date only is “6” and the number as per his complete date of birth is “5”.  From the numbers so arrived, various predictions are made about the person. Then his name as spelt in English is also converted into a number and examined how far the name and the date of birth is compatible to each other. If the spelling of the name is not compatible to the number as per the birth date, it is normally suggested to make suitable changes in the spelling of the name to make it compatible with the date of birth. It is propagated that such changes brings beneficial effects in the life of the person.
However while so calculating, the date as per the native or traditional calendar followed by the people of a country or in any particular region of the country is not taken at all. The name and spelling as per the local language or vernacular followed in a country or in any region of a country is also totally ignored.

.It may be mentioned here that the date, month and year of birth are not the same as per the English calendar and the calendar normally followed by the people in their native land. In my case the number of the date of birth arrived as per my traditional native calendar and the English is 8 according to one and 3 according to the other. The total number arrived taking the date, month and year according to the two calendars are also different. It is 8 according to one and 1 according to the other. In the case of name, Numerology do not consider the name spelt as per the native language or the vernacular. Do we consider whether the name, spelt in English before or after alteration to make it compatible with date of birth as per English calendar, will match with the date of birth as per the native calendar followed by our forefathers for generations ?  All religious and social functions are still held in our household according to that traditional native calendar. Some of these calendars are coming in and are being followed from time much before the introduction of the English calendar. Then comes the question whether the name when spelt in vernacular and whether a name spelt in English or altered as now suggested as per English date and spelt in English will be equally compatible with the name when spelt in vernacular and with the date of birth as per the traditional local (native) calendar ? A question may be asked as to the reasons why we should totally discard our native language, and native calendar ? Some of the calendars followed in different countries are in use from a much earlier date and time than the English one. What are the shortcomings of that or those calendars so that we will have to adopt English calendar only for knowing and changing my life and destiny ?
The same question may also be raised about the language. English language and English alphabets cannot properly adapt to all the words and alphabets used in the native languages used by different people all over the world. In India we have use of three “S” each having a different pronunciation and characteristics and used to denote different meaning when a word is formed. This also applies to use of “R” “Swara-Varna “A” and “Aa” ‘Antastha A” “YA” “J” etc. The names spelt as per various languages followed in India can never be properly spelt in all cases into English. The same is true of other languages followed in different countries.  
 It is believed that each English number or digit relates to a planet in the sky and the alphabets in English are related to a number. Do we know how, when and who decided about which number shall relate to which planet and which English alphabet will relate to which number? What is the logical or scientific basis of such selection? Can it be found in any religious texts? What methodology or logic or reason were adopted to arrive at such a decision ? There is nothing on record to show that and no scientific and logical effort is made to establish such allocations. We have no knowledge of it but we believe and follow it.
We also know that the English calendar was revised not just once but several times. The number of days in a month was changed several times. Therefore, it is a normal feature that when the number of days in a month is changed, it will automatically change the date of birth of a person born on a certain date. Suppose a man is born on 31st of a month. His birth number becomes 4 (3+1). But if the number of days of the month is changed to 30 days, his date of birth becomes the 1st of the next month. and his birth number becomes 1 (and not 4). The question naturally comes is when it was decided and by which authority that the date in a month relate to a planet (whether before change of number of days in the calendar or after it). What method was adopted to decide that point ? Is that method logical and scientific and have a cause & effect relationship between the number and the planet ?.
Now consider about the people who do not use English in their daily lives or at all, say the people of Russia, China, Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain and many of the countries in Africa and the middle-east and a vast number of people in the Indian peninsula, the South-east Asia and South America. . Numerology does not apply in their cases, because they do not use English. Numerology is applicable, if at all, in a limited number of cases who use both  English language and English calendar exclusively for all and every purpose of their lives. So, numerology, if  applicable and having any real effect at all, is not universally applicable. Any System, which cannot be applied universally or which do not have universal application and which cannot be verified through a logical and scientific analysis, has no truth in it.
