In both the book and film, HAL's creator, Dr. Chandra, has what is almost certainly a deliberately chosen name. Chandra, as well as being a common Indian surname, is a name of the Hindu lunar deity, and the word for "moon" in Hindi. Dr. Chandra's full first name, Sivasubramanian, can be translated as "Dear priest of Shiva". Shiva, the name of a supreme Hindu deity, carries as one of its meanings "the one who admits no imperfection". Therefore Dr. Chandra, the creator of a computer believing itself incapable of mistakes, has a uniquely appropriate first name. Sir Arthur C. Clarke, who spent much of his life in Sri Lanka (where Buddhism is a major religion and Hinduism is a minor religion), would almost certainly have known these meanings.
