## What is Swar Siddhanta?

Swar Siddhanta links sounds to the stars. The 360 degrees of the zodiac are divided into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, and each into four padas of 3°20′: 108 parts, each with its own syllable.

## Why name by the nakshatra pada?

The Moon stands for the mind. A name that begins with the syllable of the Moon's pada at birth is believed to keep the child in harmony with it, which is why it is used in the Namakarana samskara.

## One pada, several forms

A pada's syllable is often listed with related forms, such as a short and a long vowel (चु, चू). A name may begin with any of them.
