Introduction:
With the advent of the marriage season, there is a great demand for one person- The Astrologer or Panditji. This is because he will Match the horoscopes and pass judgement as to whether a prospective bride or bridegroom is marriageworthy. If he finds something wrong in the chart , the marriage does not take place and if he gives the green signal the marriage is solemnised. So , what is this match - making of horoscopes?
Meaning:
Match making is the process by which the prospective bride's and bridegroom's horoscopes are assessed for:
- physical ( sexual ) compatibility
- mental compatibility
-their combined ability to give birth to an offspring and
- Mangal Dosh.
This process is carried out by :
1.Computation of Gunas or Kutas ( points):
The minimum gunas that must be obtained is 18. If the gunas are less than 18, the match is considered unfavourable.
2. Evaluation of the Mangal Dosh:
Meaning of Mangal Dosh: A person is said to have Mangal Dosh, if Mars is posited in the 12th, 1st ,4th , 7th or 8th house in the horoscope. A person who has the above placements of Mars is also called a ‘Manglik'.
Importance of Mangal Dosh: It is said that a Manglik must get married to a another Manglik or a person with Shani ( Saturn ) in the above mentioned positions.
MYTHS SURROUNDING MATCH MAKING OF CHARTS :
Having understood the basic grammar of match making , let us examine some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding match making:
1. If a Manglik marries a non-Manglik , the person who is a non-Manglik will die:
This is one of the most encountered and most baseless myths about Mangal Dosh. For a person to die after marriage the following factors would come into play:
-The person is fated to die only after marriage.
-The person should have a short life .
-The lady getting married to such a person should be fated for widowhood.
- The person should be fated for no married life .
It is only if all these factors come into play simultaneously, then would the person die. Can only one Mangal Dosh cause death??!! Seems illogical.
2. A Manglik will either have a late marriage or a broken marriage:
This is another falsity about Mars. We must understand that Mars is only 1 of the 9 planets that form part of the horoscope. Late marriages or broken marriages can be caused by Rahu, Ketu and Shani also. If a non-Manglik marries a Manglik ,then that person's fate and progress are stalled: This argument is mostly put forward by men who unknowingly marry a Manglik girl. Just because their horoscope is weak and they are not able to achieve in life , the blame is put on the wife's chart and the Mangal dosh. The reality is that every persons individual chart is the most important.
Yes it is true that your spouse's stars will influence you, but they cannot alter your fate.
ADVANTAGES OF MATCH MAKING:
Though match making is plagued by some false myths , there are some merits to it:
1.Insight into a person’s personality:
The horoscope helps reveal the entire personality of an individual in a very unbiased manner. For example the horoscope will reveal -the person’s intellectual level , person’s sex drives, person’s attitude towards life .
Hence the examination of horoscope would reveal wealth of information about the prospective bride or bride groom.
2. Horoscopes help find the right personality matches :
This can be explained with the help of few live examples:
A lady client of mine wished to get married to a prospective bridegroom. Form her chart I knew she was:
- Very aggressive
-Business minded Independent and
-Wanted to continue working after marriage.
The boy’s chart revealed that he was:
-Slightly orthodox -
-Business minded Not very aggressive
- Obsessed with having a child.
I revealed these observations to my client , who did not get married as their personalities did not match. ( Their gunas were 24 and their Mangals matched!!)
A typical case came to me where the boy and girl were madly in love with other. However , THEIR MANGALS DID NOT MATCH AND GUNAS WERE 14. The parents were highly reluctant to go ahead with the marriage as they were told that one of them would die.
The charts revealed that they were made for each other and there was no problem whatsoever. I managed to convince the parents for the marriage. They are happily married with 2 children!!!
Other important matters of concern:
The examination of charts can also help reveal:
- Is the person suffering from any chronic sickness?
-Has the person had any affairs in the past? -
-Is the person addicted to smoking or drinking or any other bad habits?
- Is the family under any sort of debt or indebtedness?
IT IS ALSO NOW DESIRABLE TO HAVE THE BLOOD SAMPLES OF THE COUPLES CHECKED PRIOR TO MARRIAGE AS COUPLES WITH THE SAME RH FACTOR HAVE TROUBLE WITH OFFSPRING.
CONCLUSION: It maybe concluded that match making is a tool that must be used judiciously for mutual benefit.
