# Mulank Calculator by Date of Birth A mulank calculator finds your mulank, or root number: the day of the month you were born on, reduced to one digit. Born on the 28th, 2 + 8 = 10 and 1 + 0 = 1. The calculator shows the bhagyank beside it, the ruling graha and the numbers ank jyotish counts as friendly, with every step. ## How do I calculate mulank by date of birth? Take only the day of the month from your date of birth and add its digits until one digit is left. A birth on the 7th gives 7 at once. A birth on the 16th gives 1 + 6 = 7. A birth on the 29th gives 2 + 9 = 11, and 1 + 1 = 2. The month and the year play no part, so everyone born on the 7th, 16th or 25th of any month shares mulank 7. A mulank calculator by date of birth does nothing more than this, and this one prints each addition so you can check it in your head. ## What does a bhagyank and mulank calculator show? The two numbers ank jyotish reads first. The mulank comes from the birth day alone; the bhagyank adds every digit of the full date. For 17 May 1990 the mulank is 1 + 7 = 8, and the bhagyank is 1 + 7 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 32, then 3 + 2 = 5. Practitioners read the mulank as the nature a person acts from and the bhagyank as the wider course of a life, and they look at whether the two grahas are friends. A bhagyank mulank calculator shows both with that relation. ## Is there a name mulank calculator? Not in the strict sense: the mulank comes from the birth day, never from a name, so a name cannot change it. What people usually mean by a mulank calculator by name is the name number (namank), found by adding the Chaldean values of the letters. The Chaldean table is a Western esoteric system, not an Indian one. Add your name to the form to see its number beside your mulank, or use the lucky name calculator to weigh spelling variants against it. ## Which graha rules each mulank? Ank jyotish gives each digit to one of the nine grahas: 1 the Sun, 2 the Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Rahu, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Ketu, 8 Saturn and 9 Mars. That ruling graha is how a mulank is read. A mulank 3 carries Jupiter's associations of learning and teaching; a mulank 8 carries Saturn's of patience and delayed results. The digit-to-graha mapping is Indian, but it is not found in the classical Jyotish texts, and the reference below says what each mulank is traditionally associated with. ## Which numbers are friendly to my mulank? Friendly numbers are read through the grahas, with the natural friendship table of Jyotish, the same table kundali matching scores Graha Maitri from. The Sun counts the Moon, Mars and Jupiter as friends, so a mulank 1 has 2, 9 and 3 as friendly numbers, with 5 through Mercury too. Rahu and Ketu, who rule 4 and 7, are not in the classical table, so their places follow the modern convention. The calculator sorts all nine digits into friendly, neutral and contrary for your mulank. ## Is there a mulank calculator in Hindi? The terms themselves are Hindi: मूलांक (mulank) joins mool, root, and ank, number, and भाग्यांक (bhagyank) joins bhagya, fortune, and ank. This page is written in English, but the result gives each number with its Hindi name and its graha in Devanagari, such as मूलांक 5, पाँच, ruled by बुध (Budh). The arithmetic is the same in any language, because it only adds the digits of a date, so the mulank a Hindi calculator gives for your birth day is the same digit. ## Where does the mulank come from? From ank jyotish, the Indian number tradition, which gives the digits 1 to 9 to the nine grahas. No classical Jyotish text such as the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra calculates a mulank; the method as practised today took shape in the last century, and it is read beside a birth chart rather than in place of one. For the mulank with the name number and the Lo Shu grid in one place, see the full report; for the chart itself, a janam kundli. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is my mulank by date of birth? Your mulank is the day of the month you were born on, reduced to one digit. Someone born on the 14th has 1 + 4 = 5; someone born on the 30th has 3 + 0 = 3; someone born on the 9th has 9. Enter your date above and the calculator prints the working, the ruling graha and your bhagyank beside it. ### Can I find my mulank by name? No, a mulank cannot come from a name. The mulank is fixed by the day you were born on. A name gives a different number, the namank, from the Chaldean letter values, and the two are read side by side. Add your name in the form to see both, or use the lucky name calculator for spelling variants. ### What is the difference between bhagyank and mulank? The mulank uses only the birth day; the bhagyank uses every digit of the full date. A birth on 17 May 1990 has mulank 8 (1 + 7) and bhagyank 5 (1 + 7 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 32, then 3 + 2). Ank jyotish reads the mulank as a person's own nature and the bhagyank as the course of a life. ### Is a mulank calculator by DOB the same as a lucky number calculator? Mostly, yes. Most lucky number calculators give the mulank, because the tradition treats it as a person's own number. The lucky number calculator adds the colours, weekday and direction of the ruling graha; this page stays with the mulank and bhagyank, the friendly numbers and a reference for all nine. ### Which mulank is the best? No mulank is ranked above another in the tradition. Each digit is read through its graha, and every graha has qualities the texts praise and qualities they caution about. Popular writing is wary of 4 and 8, but the traditional reading of Rahu and Saturn is intensity and slowness, not misfortune, and there is no evidence any mulank changes outcomes. ### Does the time of birth change the mulank? No. The mulank depends only on the calendar date, so a birth at 6 am and one at 11 pm on the same day share it. A birth just after midnight belongs to the new date, so use the date on the birth certificate. The time matters for the birth chart instead, where it fixes the lagna. ### Can two people with the same mulank have different bhagyanks? Yes, and they usually do. Everyone born on the 8th, 17th or 26th of any month has mulank 8, but the month and year change the bhagyank. A birth on 8 March 1991 gives bhagyank 4, and one on 17 May 1990 gives bhagyank 5, so practitioners read the two quite differently. --- Source: https://vedicsense.in/mulank-calculator Method: nirayana (sidereal) rashis, Lahiri ayanamsha, whole-sign bhavas, planetary positions to arc-second accuracy.
