Number 3 Lucky or Unlucky: We have all heard this saying many times, ‘Teen Tigra Kaam Bada’. Often people have this notion in their mind that the number three is inauspicious. Be it worship or any important work, if three things are added together, people get nervous. Some people even avoid making three people sit together or lighting three lamps in their house. But is the number 3 inauspicious? Do religion, astrology, and science also believe the same? Today we will find the answer to this question and know what is the reality related to this number. Bhopal resident astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma is giving more information on this subject.
Importance of 3 according to religion
From a religious point of view, 3 is a very auspicious and powerful number. The structure of our entire universe rests on three main powers – Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. These three are called Tridev. Brahma is the symbol of creation, Vishnu of sustenance and Shiva of destruction.
-Similarly, the Tridevi – Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati – maintain the balance of the world. That is, the basis of the entire universe is three powers.
-Lord Shiva's trident is divided into three parts, which is considered a symbol of creation, preservation and destruction. The Tripund Tilak applied on Shiva's forehead is also made of three lines, which shows the unity of body, mind and soul.
-The number 3 also holds a special place in Aarti and Parikrama. While performing Aarti, the lamp is rotated three times and circumambulation is also done three times in the temple.
Effect of 3 in astrology
The number 3 is related to the Guru planet, which is called Jupiter. Jupiter is considered to be the planet associated with knowledge, faith and luck. Those who have this planet strong in their horoscope, get progress in education, wealth and social respect.
-Apart from this, Sun, Moon and Jupiter – these three planets have the most influence in our life. The role of these planets is considered very important in decisions of marriage, career and fate. Therefore, in astrology, the number 3 is not considered negative but positive and beneficial.
-Science's View
According to science also, 3 is a unique and balanced number. It is the first unique number which is formed by combining two other numbers (1 and 2). In mathematics, the triangle is considered the most stable shape, and a triangle has three sides.
- In many machines and structures, three is used to maintain balance. This proves that this number is not inauspicious, but is very practical and gives balance.
