The ancient system of numerology can tell you something fascinating about your nature and your chances for success, using numbers derived from the letters of your name.

What does your name number tell you? Find out from this noted Tantric scholar and expert in the Hindu traditions of Ayurveda and astrology, here:

First, figure out your Name Number. Each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a one-digit number. For instance, A is 1, B is 2, and so on, while J is also a 1, K is 2 and so on.

Here is an example. The author’s name is HARISH JOHARI.

HARISH looks like this, numerically: 8 plus 1 plus 2 plus 1 plus 3 plus 8, which equals 23.

JOHARI is 1 plus 7 plus 8 plus 1 plus 2 plus 1 which equals 20.

Add the first and last name numbers together: 23 plus 20 equals 43. Now add those two digits together: 4 plus 3 equals 7. So the author’s name number is SEVEN.
