Introduction
Hindus have always relied upon Vedic astrology to predict their lifes future
events. An experienced and good Vedic astrologer can foresee various events
of ones life such as health, relationship, and career. It is believed that an
individual can make an informed and wise decision today, which will help them
avoid major problems in the future. For instance, Vedic astrology helps in
kundali milan of two people. It can assist in selecting the right future partner.
In this article, we will learn how kundali matching works for marriage.
Since ancient times, whenever a child is born, their guardian notes down the
time, date of birth and place of the birth of that child for creating a Janam
Kundali, also known as the birth chart. A janam kundali can predict various
events in an individuals life, starting from day one till the very end. It becomes
easier for the guardian to take precautions and prevent any forthcoming
mishaps for the child. In the same way, kundali milan for marriage helps the
individuals to choose a suitable match and avoid any future discord.
In Hindu religion, janam kundali of the would-be bride and groom are matched
for compatibility. Kundali analysis is done on the basis of date-of-the-birth and
place-of-birth. Kundali milan by date of birth is of dire importance. It gives an
accurate compatibility match, which foresees the marital life of two people.
The process of testing compatibility is called gun milan, and is broken down
into eight different tests. Each guna test generates a certain number of gunas
or points, which are then added for an overall score. It is believed that if the
overall score of gunas is below 18, the match must be avoided. And, if between
18-14, the match is suitable. Any guna number above 24 indicates that the
match is highly suggested and the bride & groom are of a similar nature.
With these many factors which determine the kundali milan of two people, it is
still recommended to do some further research into ones life as highly similar
nature of people might repel each other.
Marriage Compatibility
As we know by now, that kundali milan by name and date of birth plays a vital
role in match making. Let us see what are the other factors which can be
foreseen in a kundali milan. Kundali milan tells us about the relationship
quotient of two people. For instance, kundali matching of two might fare
extremely well in financial conditions; however, the different personalities may
always end up quarrelling with each other. In this case, even a good match may
be rejected in aspiration of a happy married life. Mental compatibility is highly
important for a blissful life. Similarly, physical compatibility also plays a major
role in the overall happiness of two individuals. There are many other factors
that are evaluated to conclude a suitable match. Here are the 8 guna milans
that are assessed during a kundali milan.
Gun Milan Test #1 Varna; Maximum Possible Score: 1
Varna exhibits the basic personality of a person such as skills, hobbies, and
abilities.
It is believed that the grooms varna must be always higher than the brides
varna for a compatible match. If the kundali match making validates this
theory, the milan scores 1 point making it a suitable match.
Vasya is the test to determine the loyalty and companionship amongst two
people. It indicates whether or not the partners will be dedicated to each
other.
Tara calculates the health and well-being of the partners in a holy matrimony.
The score point is achieved by comparing the birth stars or Tara of the
individuals. According to Vedic astrology, there are 9 Tara groups with 3
nakshatras in each.
Points are calculated by counting from the brides birth star to that of the
groom and then dividing their number by 9. The same is reciprocated from the
grooms side. Depending on the remainders of both the calculation, points are
allocated. For instance, if the remainders are even, 3 points are given. If the
remainders are odd, no points are given. If one remainder is even and the
other one odd, 1.5 points are given. The higher the score, the better the
compatibility!
Yoni specifies the physical and sexual compatibility between the couple. It is
represented by 14 different types of animals with 2 nakshatras each. Ancient
astrologers defined the behaviour of each animal towards the other, which led
to the formation of 5 behavioural categories. For instance, Swabhava Yoni
indicates that the animals are the same. Such marriages are considered to be
auspicious and the guna match is given 4 points. Similarly, an Enemy Yoni
indicates that the animals are enemies and only 1 point is awarded.
Gun Milan Test #5 - Graha Maitri; Maximum Possible Score: 5
Graha Maitri examines the strength and love between two people. The guna
milan number is achieved by comparing the sign lords of the moon in the chart
of the bride and groom. The relationship between the sign lords gives away the
guna milan number. For instance, if the signs are the same or friendly, the
match scores 5 points, and if one sign is friendly & the other one is neutral, the
match scores 4 points. So on and so forth.
The points are given according to the compatibility of both the bride and
grooms temperament.
Nadi scrutinizes the genetic compatibility of the bride and groom to ensure
their capability of reproducing. Traditionally, the main aim of any marriage was
to produce children and the increase the family lineage. Therefore, this guna
milan test is given the highest maximum of 8 points. It is again deivided into 3
categories i.e,
1. Adi or Vata
2. Madhya or Pitta
3. Antya or Kapha
The test has a simple rule. It specifies that the bride and groom can achieve
maximum points, if they belong to separate Nadi. Couples belonging to the
same nadi will not score any point and may not be suitable for each other in
respect to genetic compatibility.
These 8 guna milans are the key to kundali matching. As discussed above, a
good score means a good match which may lead to a happy and prosperous
marital life. If you are not a firm believer of this Vedic process, however still
want to give it a try. You can find various astrological websites which offer free
kundali milan. Also, you can save some money by finding few answers about
your marriage with the respective partner with online kundali milan. Free

chances of a better & prosperous future.
This is the way to check mangalik dosha. In a human horoscope chart, there
are about twelve houses. If mars is positioned in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th
house of the chart, then the person is supposed to be under the Mangalik
Dosha. It is considered that you check Mangalik Dosha and the person is under
the negative influence of the planet Mars. This will help you check mangalik or
non-mangalik by nature.
When the Mars is said to be in the first house, there are high chances of
conflicts and violence.
When the Mars is said to be in the second house, it is predicted to affect
the family of the person troubling marriage and professional life.
When the Mars is said to be in the fourth house, it is observed that the
person has failure in professional life and keep switching jobs.
When the Mars is said to be in the seventh house, it is noticed that the
person is ill tempered.
When the Mars is said to be in the eighth house, the person has high
chances from being away from elders and lose paternal property.
When the Mars is said to be in the tenth house, the person is basically
suffering from mental illness and has financial losses to his or her
enemies.
We need to know how to know Mangalik Dasha from the Lagna and the
Moon. The Mangalik Dosha becomes effective if it is for both Lagna and the
Moon. The existence of the mangal will help you check mangalik dosha.
Gem stones
Astrologers often offer and advise to wear a red coral stone in a gold
ring on the ring finger of the right hand after you check mangalik or non
mangalik
This Kundali matching is an old and popular Hindu Astro system of arranging
marriage based on the calculation of Guna Milan or scores between the boy
and the girl intending to marry. However the choice of marriage is governed by
the Guna or scores between them. This method is known as the astrological
system of matching the compatibility factors between the bride and groom
which is known as Ashtakoot Guna Milan.
In this method of match making the moon sign i.e rashi , birth nakshatra and
the Moons chart of the bride and groom are considered to asses and evaluate
the compatibility between them .
While calculating the Guna, there are 8 factors which are taken in account;
The weightage of these, factors are same as their serial numbers the totalling
to 36 as the maximum score. Now, what do these 8 factors or AshtaKoota
mean in context to the bride and groom horoscope:
Vashya Koot: It talks about Power. The control in marriage and power
equation between two people.
Tara Koot: This includes the friendship between the birth star of the groom
and bride. It talks about the closeness between them .
Yoni koot : This signifies the sexual affinity between the bride and groom
In view of the above, this astrological system calculates the Guna and these
scores or Guna predicts about the future of a marriage;
* if the score is less than 18 , the couple is not compatible this marriage will
not be successful,
* if the score is between or equal to 18- 24 , this is an average score and the
marriage is generally acceptable or recommended .
There are scores which are considered to be good are 25- 32 and scores
between 30-36 are highly exceptional and marriage will be successful.
Based on Ashtakoot Guna Milan usually the marriages are fixed and a
common belief that more the scores better is the married life . However, this is
a myth and its not true always!
Our experts in this subject have made practical observation and found that
many married couples with highest scores are very unhappy, not compatible
with each other and often find very difficult to continue with each other. There
are cases of divorce, uncertain death of spouse, infertility, misunderstanding ,
financial and relationship problems .
In kundali matching apart from the Ashtakoot Guna Milan, there are many
other astrological factors which must be studied and considered before a
marriage is decided. Good knowledgeable astrologers will never advice a
wedding without having a complete consideration of all the astrological factors
additional to Ashtakoot Guna Milan between the bride and groom.
The other factors, which are equally important, are the lagna, strength of the
ascendant and its ruling lord, strength of the 7th house and its ruling lord,
strength and nature of Venus and Jupiter. Also the natural friendship between
the ruling lords of the ascendant and the 7th house, between the horoscope of
the bride and the groom. It is very important to have all the stars checked
before deciding so that the relationship can be strengthen based on physical
and mental compatibility. Both partners must have a clear understanding
between each other, financially as well as health both plays a vital role in a
married life .
Good and experienced astrologers study not only the Ashtakoot Guna Milan
but will also study the Venus and Jupiter of the bride and groom as well. The
consideration of Venus is a must for evaluating two horoscopes because its
strength and weakness affects the success or failure of a married life. For
example, the Venus is not rightly placed than there are chances of infertility ,
likewise in a girls horoscope Jupiter plays a very important role , its the house
of husband , its strength and weakness will determine the future of the
marriage .
Bhakut Dosh
We all are aware that in India horoscope matching is an essential process
during marriage between the boy and the girl. Most of the astrologers or
pundits would match the kundali or horoscope based on Guna Milan. Under
this Milan there are many parameters which are to be studied in depth before
a marriage is fixed.
Now to reduce the effect of Bhakut Dosh, pundits or astrologers can provide
different methods based on the individuals horoscopes. One can perform
Puja, use different mantra or tantra for reducing the degree of Dhosh for
betterment.
Exceptions to the Rule:
This includes exceptional combinations that can be found at the time of
matching the horoscope .These combinations can very much lessened the dosh
n partners and usually such combinations are considered at the time of
marriage.
However one should remember that the actual malefic effect caused by
Bhakoot Dosh gives different results to each couple depending upon the
planetary aspects present in both the horoscopes. One cannot presume to
have the same combinations until two horoscopes or kundali are matched.
These defects can be potentially more serious if some other Dosha like
Nadi Dosha, Gana Dosha and the weak Graha milan is there in the horoscope.
Bhakut is the 2nd most important Dosh in Ashtkoot Guna Milan or Horoscope
Matching and it must be calculated or studied well before a marriage is fixed .
There are 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology, and three nadis (Adi, Madhya, and
antya) divided in various nakshatras, so every nadi have 9 nakshatras. Birth
nakshatra beside nadi of a person. There are many rumors about nadi dosha,
bride, and groom born with aadi or anantya nadi after marriage, if they have
nadi dosh then there may be death of spouse or disable child may occur. If
bride and groom born with the madhya nadi after getting married they can
face widow or widower consequences only after few months of
marriage. These quotes described in Puranas
If the Lord of the zodiac sign of boy and girl are same then the adverse
effect of Nadi dosh become nullify. For example: if boy of Gemini sign
and girl of Virgo sign and their Lord is Mercury ( which is same of both
zodiac sign ) then the effect of particular dosha get nullify.
In the same pattern Aries and Scorpio sign, Taurus and Libra, Gemini and
Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius have the same Lord so in all these cases
nadi dosh become nullify.
If the accessed Lord of boy or girl friendly and have strength with good
position then nadi dosh cannot harm.
If the lord of the fifth, as well as seventh house, gets strength with good
position, in the natal chart of bride and groom and significator of
marriage and child Venus and Jupiter. This will lessen the harmful effect.
If the boy and girl born in the same nakshatra but have different zodiac
sign then nadi dosh negative effect will subsidized.
There are some specific nakshatra in which when a boy and girl is born
like Rohini, adra, margashira, pushya, bharni, kratika, magha, vishakha,
anuradha, shwarna, dhanistha, purva bhdra padh, utra bhadra padh and
revti and if it is same in both girl and boy Kundli then their dosh effect
get nullify.
If the to be bride and groom have different nakshatra but have same
zodiac sign, then also wrong effect of dosh get lessen.
If the bride having exalted Jupiter in their birth chart and aspect of
Jupiter in the seventh house( house of marriage) then also she is saved
from Nadi dosh.
Special Note: For consideration, if brahmins are getting married then nadi
dosh is considered the ban.
In case of Kshatriya, vaishya, shudra nadi dosh can be acceptable with some
terms and conditions.
Above are some points which can nullify the effect of Nadi dosh but if still the
prospective bride and groom faces the chances of Nadi dosh and if still
marriage is the compulsion or due to some reasons it is unavoidable and to be
couple is facing the Nadi dosh then the below given steps or remedies should
be followed:
1.The Graha shanti process of graha like sun moon and jupiter with 1. 25 lakh
vedic mantra chanting by the vedic brahmin. These rituals must be performed
under expert vedic brahmin guidance.

urvrukamiva bandhannmtyormukya m'mtt
3. Donation of the cow at any auspicious day ( Tithi ) is also the good remedy
for removal of Nadi dosh.
4. Seven types of grains equal to the body of bride and groom should be
