Please keep in mind that this app is still young and being tested. Before you make a real Namkha, have the results checked by someone experienced in these calculations.
A Namkha is a traditional Tibetan thread-cross: colored threads wound around wooden sticks in a pattern that is individual to each person, based on Tibetan astrology. This app calculates the colors for a Namkha in the tradition of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.
Fill in the date, time, and place of birth, then press the Calculate button (if you are unsure of the birth time, enter an approximate time or simply noon). The app works out the harmonization of the elements and prepares a calculation sheet for you: a color table for every part of the Namkha, notes worth knowing about the calculation, and a picture of how the finished Namkha should look. You can read the sheet right here on the page, or download it as a PDF file that is ready to print.
You do not need to know the time zone of the birth – the app finds it on its own from the place and the date, and it knows the historical time rules, so births from long ago are handled too. If you do know the time zone, you can of course set it yourself.
The app is free to use. It is made with care by Namkha Encyclopedia.
The Namkha Calculator was created to benefit people around the world.
Simon Weiss dedicated his time and resources to research and development. Anna Weiss contributed her expertise – eight years of intensive study and practice in the Namkha method – along with her deep compassion, to ensure the program is accurate and complete.
Work on the program continues. We are researching aspects where multiple perspectives currently exist.
We would be genuinely grateful for your support – any amount is meaningful.
Thank you,
Anna & Simon Weiss
To calculate a Namkha, the app needs the details you enter in the form: the name (optional), gender, and the date, time, and place of birth. They are sent to our server, used for the calculation, and shown on your sheet. Nothing else is collected.
We keep a technical log of each calculation – the birth details you entered and the calculated result – so that we can find and fix mistakes. The name is treated differently: it is never written to the log as text, only as a short scrambled code that cannot be turned back into the name.
When you type in the birth place field, the text you type is sent to Photon, an outside service that provides the place suggestions. It only receives what you type in that one field.
