What is Vedic numerology?
Vedic numerology, Ank Jyotish, is the Indian numerological tradition. It uses Chaldean letter values and adds three core numbers: Mulank (root, from your birth day), Bhagyank (destiny, from your full birth date), and Naamank (name number). Each digit corresponds to a Vedic planet, Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Rahu, Mercury, Venus, Ketu, Saturn, Mars.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mulank?
Mulank (मूलांक) is your root number in Vedic numerology, the single-digit reduction of the day of the month you were born. If you were born on the 23rd, your Mulank is 2+3=5. Sanjay B. Jumaani considers Mulank the most powerful of the three Vedic numbers because it reflects the raw vibration of the birth day itself.
What is Bhagyank?
Bhagyank (भाग्यांक) is your destiny number, the single-digit reduction of your full birth date (day + month + year). It is the Vedic equivalent of the Pythagorean Life Path number and describes the journey your soul came here to live in this lifetime.
What is Naamank?
Naamank (नामांक) is your name number, calculated using Chaldean letter values (which differ from the Pythagorean system). It describes the vibration the name itself carries through the world. In modern Indian numerology, name corrections, changing spelling to optimize the Naamank, are a common practice.
Which Vedic planet corresponds to my Mulank?
Number 1 = Sun (Surya); 2 = Moon (Chandra); 3 = Jupiter (Guru); 4 = Rahu; 5 = Mercury (Budha); 6 = Venus (Shukra); 7 = Ketu; 8 = Saturn (Shani); 9 = Mars (Mangal). Each planet has favorable days, colors, and gemstones traditionally associated with it.
Is Vedic numerology the same as Vedic astrology?
No. Vedic numerology (Ank Jyotish) and Vedic astrology (Jyotish Shastra) are related but distinct disciplines within the broader Indian metaphysical tradition. Numerology focuses on number-vibrations; astrology focuses on planetary positions. For a full Vedic astrology reading, consult a qualified jyotish.
