Birth number, life path number and name number

The birth number (mulank) is the sum of the digits of the day you were born: someone born on the 14th has 1+4 = 5. The life path number (bhagyank) adds every digit of the full date: 14-06-1990 gives 1+4+0+6+1+9+9+0 = 30, then 3+0 = 3. The name number comes from the letters of the name. Each is reduced to a single digit, except 11, 22 and 33, which are kept as master numbers.
