In numerology, Mulank and Bhagyank are two of the most important core numbers calculated from your birth date and name, respectively. The Mulank (Life Path Number) reveals your inherent personality and life’s path, while the Bhagyank (Destiny Number) indicates what you are destined to do or become and the natural talents you possess to achieve it.
What is Mulank (The Life Path Number)?
The Mulank, known in Western numerology as the Life Path Number, is derived from your full date of birth. It represents who you are at your core—your personality, your natural tendencies, and the major lessons you are here to learn. It signifies the path you will walk in this life.
How to Calculate Your Mulank:
You calculate your Mulank by adding the digits of your day, month, and year of birth and reducing them to a single digit (1-9). Master numbers 11 and 22 are sometimes kept as they are, but for a basic calculation, they are also reduced.
Example: Date of Birth – 17th July 1991 (17/07/1991)
- Date: 1 + 7 = 8
- Month: 0 + 7 = 7
- Year: 1 + 9 + 9 + 1 = 20 -> 2 + 0 = 2
- Add them all: 8 + 7 + 2 = 17
- Reduce to a single digit: 1 + 7 = 8
- Mulank = 8
What is Bhagyank (The Destiny Number)?
The Bhagyank, also known as the Destiny Number or Expression Number, is derived from the letters of your full birth name. It represents your potential and what you are meant to achieve in this lifetime. It signifies your life’s purpose and the talents and abilities you have at your disposal to fulfill that purpose.
How to Calculate Your Bhagyank:
You calculate your Bhagyank by assigning a numerical value to each letter in your full name (first, middle, and last) and then adding them all up and reducing to a single digit.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A, J, S | B, K, T | C, L, U | D, M, V | E, N, W | F, O, X | G, P, Y | H, Q, Z | I, R |
Example: Name – ROHAN KUMAR
- ROHAN: R(9) + O(6) + H(8) + A(1) + N(5) = 29 -> 2 + 9 = 11 -> 1 + 1 = 2
- KUMAR: K(2) + U(3) + M(4) + A(1) + R(9) = 19 -> 1 + 9 = 10 -> 1 + 0 = 1
- Add them all: 2 + 1 = 3
- Bhagyank = 3
The Interplay Between Mulank and Bhagyank
Mulank and Bhagyank are the two pillars of your numerological chart. They work together to shape your life’s journey.
| Aspect | Mulank (Life Path Number) | Bhagyank (Destiny Number) |

Harmony vs. Conflict:
- If your Mulank and Bhagyank are compatible (harmonious numbers): You may find that your life’s path and your natural talents are in alignment, making it easier for you to achieve your purpose.
- If your Mulank and Bhagyank are conflicting (disharmonious numbers): You might experience internal conflict between your personality and your potential. It may feel like you have to work harder to overcome obstacles to reach your goals.
Understanding both your Mulank and Bhagyank can provide valuable insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and life’s purpose. It’s a tool for self-awareness that can help you navigate your journey with greater clarity. It is a very different system of divination compared to astrology, which uses tools like the Navamsa chart.
