In Indian numerology, three numbers sit at the centre of a reading: the Mulank from your birth day, the Bhagyank from your full date of birth, and the name number from the letters of your name. Each is reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9, and each digit is linked to one of the nine planets.
Your date of birth gives your Mulank and Bhagyank. Add your name, written in English letters, to get your name number as well. Every step of the calculation is shown.
Names use the Chaldean letter values, and every total is reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9. Calculators that use the Pythagorean system can give a different name number.
Each number comes with its planet, its theme and the working that produced it.
Your birth day reduced to one digit. It is read as how you approach things day to day.
Every digit of your date of birth added together and reduced to one digit. It is read as the direction of your life as a whole.
The letters of your name converted to numbers with the Chaldean table, added up and reduced. It is read as how others know you.
Each number from 1 to 9 is linked to a planet, from the Sun for 1 to Mars for 9, and the result names it.
Every addition is shown, so you can check the numbers by hand or compare them with another calculator.
Your name is broken down word by word, with the value of each letter, so you can see where the name number comes from.
Mulank comes from the day of the month you were born. Someone born on the 15th adds 1 and 5 to get 6. Bhagyank uses the whole date: for 15-06-1998 you add 1+5+0+6+1+9+9+8 to get 39, then 3+9 to get 12, then 1+2 to get 3.
The name number uses the Chaldean table, in which each letter has a value from 1 to 8. The values of every letter in your name are added together, and the total is reduced the same way until one digit is left.
Names use the Chaldean (Cheiro) system, the one most often used in Indian numerology. No letter is given the value 9; a name can only reach 9 as a total.
Every total is reduced to a digit from 1 to 9. Master numbers such as 11 or 22 are reduced too, as in the Indian tradition.
Both calculators use the same calculation, so your Mulank and Bhagyank here always match the ones placed in your Lo Shu grid.
The Chaldean table is defined for the English alphabet. Accents are ignored, and a name written in another script is not counted rather than counted partly.
Your Mulank and Bhagyank are also placed in your Lo Shu grid, alongside the digits of your date of birth, to show which numbers are missing or repeated.
