How Did You First Learn Numerology?

I’ve always been curious about how people come across the fascinating world of numbers and their hidden meanings. For me, it started when I was searching for ways to better understand personality traits and life patterns. That’s when I stumbled upon the concept of numerology. At first, I thought it was just about “lucky numbers,” but the deeper I went, the more I realized it’s an entire system of wisdom that connects names, dates, and life paths in ways I never imagined.

My first real step to learn numerology was through some free online articles and YouTube videos. They gave me a glimpse, but honestly, it felt incomplete. I wanted something structured and authentic, not just bits and pieces here and there. Eventually, I found that places like the Bhartiya Institute of Vedic Science actually offer proper courses where you can dive into both the basics and advanced aspects of numerology. That made me realize there’s a lot more depth when it’s taught systematically rather than just self-learning.

What I love most about this field is that everyone seems to have their own story about how they first came across it—some through books, some through family traditions, and others through personal experiences where numbers kept repeating in their lives. I’ve even heard stories of people who got into numerology after visiting an astrologer or healer who used numbers as part of their guidance.

So, I wanted to ask everyone here: How did you first learn numerology? Was it through a teacher, a book, a course, or just curiosity that made you dig deeper? Do you think it’s something better learned through self-practice, or does formal guidance make a big difference?
