मूलांक · The 9 Mulanks — Vedic Birth Numbers

What is Mulank (मूलांक)?

Mulank — also written as moolank— is your root number in Vedic numerology (अंक ज्योतिष). It is derived from the single digit of your birth day alone. Born on the 14th? Your Mulank is 5 (1 + 4). Born on the 23rd? Also 5. Unlike Western numerology's Life Path number, which uses your full date of birth, Mulank is calculated only from the day.

What makes the Vedic system distinct is the planetary connection. Each of the nine Mulanks is governed by a ruling graha: Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Guru (Jupiter), Rahu, Budha (Mercury), Shukra (Venus), Ketu, Shani (Saturn) and Mangal (Mars). This planetary ruler shapes your personality, natural strengths, recurring karmic patterns — and the type of seva (service) that restores your dharmic balance.

Knowing your Mulank is the first step in Vedic numerology. It reveals the graha energy you were born under and points to practical remedies: gemstones, mantras, charitable giving and pilgrimage aligned with your ruling planet.
