Graha‑akṣara (ग्रहाक्षर) maps each letter of a name or word to a Vedic planet (graha) based on bīja‑akṣara — the seed-sound tradition. Each Sanskrit and Devanagari consonant belongs to a specific planetary group (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn).
English letters are mapped to their closest Hindi phonetic equivalent. For example, 'k' maps to Mars (क group), 't' maps to Mercury (ट group), and vowels map to Sun. Digraphs like 'sh', 'ch', 'th' are handled as single units for better accuracy.
Understand the planetary energy composition of a name — useful for name analysis, mantra selection, and exploring the sound-vibration connection in Vedic astrology.
All Devanagari vowel signs (ा, ि, ी, ु, ू, ृ, े, ै, ो, ौ) and independent vowels (अ, आ, इ, etc.) map to the Sun, representing the primal creative energy in the sound system.
