 Dhirubhai Ambani: How Numbers Shaped His Life- Astrospeak - Indiatimes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Born of a village schoolteacher on 28-12-1932, in the village of Chorvad, in Junagadh, Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani is perhaps one the finest examples of the synchronicity of numbers.
His name at birth was Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani, which is an 8; perhaps he would not have achieved this phenomenal success with this name because 8, as a name-number is not fortunate for anyone, leave aside a psychic and destiny 1 for whom it is the very worst.
Whether his fortunate destiny guided him to choose this name unintentionally or whether he was advised to go by it, I do not know, but the 5-name number is the one that gave him the universal growth, renown and power of communication.
