Checking
the "Mangal-dosha" (or, "Kuja-dosha")
in a birth-chart is perhaps one of the most
misunderstood area while measuring the marital
compatibility. One astrologer may find a chart
having severe "Mangal-dosha" while another
astrologer may declare the same chart clear of any
"Mangal-dosha". A lay man, having no
knowledge of Vedic astrology, finds himself in a
dilemma - as to whom he should believe.
Late Dr. B.V. Raman, world-renowned astrologer,
author of more than 100 books on Vedic astrology
and former editor of the famous "Astrological
Magazine", presented an unique formula to measure
the exact intensity of "Mangal-dosha", on a
scale of 100 points for each of the concerned
malefic planets causing the dosha, in his
books "Jaatak-Nirnay" and "How to judge
a horoscope (vol. II)". Through this formula,
maximum "Mangal-dosha" in a chart may reach
up to 337.50 points.
Though, some of the astrologers (specially in
Northern India) do not consider 2nd house while
checking for "Mangal-dosha", but learned
Dr. B.V. Raman and many other Jyotish scholars has
strongly advocated to consider the 2nd house too.
While, the 2nd house represents family and wealth
on the one hand, it is also the "Marak-bhava"
of self on the other hand. Through the principle
of "BhaavatBhavam", it is also the 8th from
7th house and thus represents the age of the
spouse. If Mars is posited in the 2nd house, it
aspects the "Saubhaagya sthaan" or "Mangalya
sthaan" of the wife through it's 7th aspect.
Through it's 4th aspect, it afflicts the 5th house
(house of progeny) and through it's 8th aspect, it
afflicts the 9th, the most important house
representing the destiny and "Dharma" of a
person.
The
following report is based on Dr. B.V.
Raman's formula and hence considers the 2nd house
also. It calculates "exact intensity" of "Mangal-dosha"/
"Kuja-dosha" in pure numerical terms in
Rasi-charts (Lagna kundli) of both the
persons and presents the detailed results in
tabular form. Lesser the difference in net
intensity of doshas in two charts, better it is. |
