Do you know………During my yoga and meditation sessions, number 7 is mentioned often either for repetition of a particular sequence or chanting of some mantra. Out of my curiosity, I started searching and was astounded with the wealth of information. Here, I am sharing with you some of the significance of number 7 without going into details.

     Lucky Number 7

7 is the number of completeness and perfection both physical as well as spiritual. The number 7 is tied directly to God’s creation of all things and much more prevalent in nature than most of us realize; There are 7 oceans, 7 continents, 7 vertebrae in the neck, 7 basic chakras in our body, 7 layers of skin (2 outer and 5 inner), ocean waves roll in sevens, 7 colors in rainbow, music has 7 notes, there are 7 directions, the Jewish Menorah has 7 candles, the earth was created in 7 days (including a day of rest, hence 7 days in a week), a cube has 7 dimensions (including the inside), there are 7 deadly sins, 7 virtues, 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, 7 classical planets, 7 hills in Istanbul, Rome and Jerusalem, 7 wonders of the ancient world. The number 7 is also important in Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism. The number 7 is also featured in the Book of Revelation (7 churches, 7 angels, 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 stars). The Koran speaks of 7 heavens and Muslim pilgrims walk around the Kaaba in Mecca 7 times. In Hinduism there are 7 higher worlds and 7 underworlds, 7 sages or Saptarishi, 7 stars in a constellation called Saptharishi Mandalam (Great Bear constellation, clearly visible from earth in the northern direction and it looks like a kite in the space), 7 promises, or Saptapadi, and 7 circumambulations around a fire at Hindu weddings, 7 octets or Saptak Swaras in Indian Music as the basis for Ragas compositions. In Buddhism 7 is the number of ascent, and Buddha is said to have walked this number of steps at his birth.

In medieval education, students pursued a total of seven subjects (the trivium -grammar, rhetoric, logic and the quadrivium – music, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy), collectively known as the liberal arts. In modern times, 7 is the number of games in the playoffs for NHL, MLB and NBA. There is an obvious 7-year economics crash cycle for example starting from 1966, then 1973, then 1980, then 1987, then 1994, then 2001, so on and so forth. 7 not only represents the jackpot on slot machines, but it is also the basis for many myths and folklore. In 1956, George Miller of Harvard University wrote that most people can retain roughly seven items of information in their short term memory. That is why phone numbers in the U.S. and many other countries tend to have 7 digits in a phone number after the area code. 7 is a prime number. Prime numbers are those that can only be divided by themselves and by the number 1 and 7 is considered by some to be the most ‘prime’ number within the first 10 numbers as it cannot be multiplied within the group, making it a kind of optimal-prime. It is also symbolic of togetherness and, as a result, is seen as a good omen in relationships.

It is this combination of cultural, historical, religious, numerical, and psychological factors that contribute to the allure of the number 7. If we do proper research, we will find many more significance of number 7.
