Kundali Matchmaking

Basis of Kundali Matching: Online kundli matchmaking

जन्मभं जन्मधिष्ण्येन नामधिष्ण्येन नामभम्।
व्यत्ययेन यदा योज्यं दम्पत्योर्निधनप्रदम् ।।

Use the Birth Names of Both Bride and Groom: Always use the birth names of both the bride and groom for matching. Using one person's birth name and the other person's common name can cause significant errors.

विवाहे सर्वमांगल्ये यात्रायां ग्रहगोचरे।
जन्मराशेः प्रधानत्वं नामराशिं न चिन्तयेत्।।

Birth Name is Important: For marriage, special events, travel, and planetary transits, the birth name and birth sign are most important, not the common name or its sign.

अज्ञातजन्मनां नृणां नामभे परिकल्पना।
तेनैव चिन्तयेत् सर्वराशिकूटादिजन्मवत्।।

Use Common Name Only if Birth Name is Unknown: If the birth name is not known, then and only then should the common name be used for matching.

Ashtakoot Matching or Guna Milan

Ashtakoot Matching looks at eight key things:

Varna (Ego Feeling), Vashya (Thoughts), Tara (Destiny), Yoni (Sexual Compatibility), Graha Maitri (Mental Compatibility), Gana Maitri (Temperament), Bhakut (Love), and Nadi (Health and Children). This matching method is called the 36 Guna Milan.

1. Varna is worth 1 point.
2. Vashya is worth 2 points.
3. Tara is worth 3 points.
4. Nadi is worth 8 points.

This makes a total of 36 points. The matching criteria are:

1. Up to 16 points: Poor match
2. 16 to 20 points: Average match
3. 20 to 30 points: Good match
4. 30 to 36 points: Excellent match

गुणैः षोडशभिर्निन्द्यं मध्यमाविंशतिस्तथा।
श्रेष्ठं त्रिंशत् गुणं यावत् परतस्तूत्तमोत्तमम्।।

Ashtakoot Matching or Guna Milan

A match of 18 points (50%) is considered okay. But big flaws like Nadi dosha or Gana dosha cannot be ignored even if there are many matched points. So, Ashtakoot matching is more important than just the total number of points.

Remember, while the number of matched points is important, the full Ashtakoot analysis is crucial for knowing if a marriage will be good.

Guna Milan in online kundali Matchmaking

In Jyotish Shastra "Muhurat Chintamani," eight things are checked when matching horoscopes for marriage. These are Varna (Ego Feeling) worth 1 point, Vashya (Thoughts) worth 2 points, Tara (Destiny) worth 3 points, Yoni (Sexual Compatibility) worth 4 points, Graha Maitri (Mental Compatibility) worth 5 points, Gana (Temperament) worth 6 points, Bhakut (Love) worth 7 points, and Nadi (Health and Children) worth 8 points. These things are checked in both the bride and groom's horoscopes. The total points for perfect compatibility are 36. If the total points (Gunas) from these eight things are 18 or more, the marriage is considered good. If the total is less than 18, the marriage is not recommended.

Total Points Calculation

The total maximum points for perfect compatibility are calculated as follows:
Total Points = 8 (8 +1) 2= 36Total Points= 2 8(8+1) =36If the sum of the points (Gunas) from the eight factors is 18 or more, the marriage is considered favourable. If the total is less than 18, the marriage should not be recommended.

Classification of Points

The classification of points for evaluating the match is as follows:

1. Poor Match: Up to 16 points
2. Average Match: 17 to 20 points
3. Good Match: 21 to 30 points
4. Excellent Match: 31 to 36 points

In the case of a favourable Bhakoot, this classification applies. However, if Bhakoot is unfavourable:

1. Unfavourable Match: Up to 20 points
2. Average Match: 17 to 20 points
3. Good Match: 26 to 30 points
4. Excellent Match: Above 30 points

'गुणैः षोडशभिनिन्यं मध्यमा विंशतिस्तथा ।
श्रेष्ठं त्रिंशद्‌गुणं यावत्परतस्तूत्तमोत्तमम् ।।
सद्भकूटे इदं प्रोक्तं दुष्टकू‌टेऽथ कथ्यते ।
निन्यं गुणेविंशतिभिर्मध्यमे पञ्चभिस्ततः ॥
तत्परैः पञ्चभिः श्रेष्ठं ततः श्रेष्ठतरं गुणेः।

Important Factors in Marriage Matchmaking

Nadi Dosha: Nadi Dosha is very important and cannot be ignored, even if the total points are high.

Bhakoot: If Bhakoot is unfavorable, the scoring changes.

Other Factors: Acharya has mentioned other things like Nridur, which does not have a score but is important in Bhakoot evaluation.

When matching for marriage, it's not enough to just look at the total points. These special factors must also be considered to ensure a happy relationship. Checking the eight factors (Ashtakoot) is needed to see if the marriage will be good. The total points give an initial idea, but deeper factors like Nadi Dosha and Bhakoot must also be checked for full compatibility.

1) Importance of Varna compatibility in kundli matchmaking (Ego Feeling):-

According to "Muhurat Chintamani," the compatibility based on Varna (caste) is an important factor in kundli matching. The principle is that the bride's Varna should not be higher than the groom's Varna for the match to be considered auspicious.

Classification of Varnas by Zodiac Signs

1. Brahmin Varna: Pisces (Meena), Scorpio (Vrischika), Cancer (Karka)
2. Kshatriya Varna: Aries (Mesha), Sagittarius (Dhanu), Leo (Simha)
3. Vaishya Varna: Taurus (Vrishabha), Capricorn (Makara), Virgo (Kanya)
4. Shudra Varna: Gemini (Mithuna), Aquarius (Kumbha), Libra (Tula)

Principle of Varna Compatibility

Higher or Equal Varna: The bride’s Varna should not be higher than the groom's Varna. If the groom’s Varna is higher or equal to the bride's Varna, the marriage is considered auspicious and beneficial.

द्विजा झषालिकर्कटास्ततो नृपा विशोऽङ्घ्रिजाः ।
वरस्य वर्णतोऽधिका वधूर्त शस्यते बुधैः ॥ २२ ॥

This means that for Brahmin Varna (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer), the bride should not be from a higher Varna than the groom. The same goes for Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra Varnas. The groom's Varna should be higher or equal to ensure a harmonious marriage.

Special Considerations for Guna Matching

Equal or Higher Varna: If the bride and groom are of equal Varna, or the groom's Varna is higher, one point is added in the Guna Milan. If the bride's Varna is higher, no points are given.

'एको गुणः सदृग्वर्णेऽथवा वर्णोत्तमे वरे ।
हीने बरेऽधिके शून्यं केंऽप्याडुः सदृशे दलम् ॥

Exceptions Based on Planetary Positions: If the lord of the bride's sign is stronger or of a higher Varna than the lord of the groom's sign, then the Varna dosha can be ignored.

'हीनवर्णो यदा राशी राशीशी वर्ण उत्तमः ।
तदा राशीश्वरो ग्राश्वस्तद्राशि नैव चिन्तयेत् ॥ २२ ॥

This means if the planetary lord of the bride's sign is in a stronger position or of a higher Varna than the groom's sign lord, then the Varna mismatch is not considered a dosha (flaw).

For a happy marriage, it is important to consider the Varna of both the bride and groom. Ideally, the groom's Varna should be equal to or higher than the bride's Varna. In cases where planetary positions indicate otherwise, exceptions can be made. This ensures that the marriage is auspicious and beneficial, aligning with traditional astrological principles.

2) Importance of Vashya Compatibility in kundli matchmaking (Thoughts Compatibility)

In Vedic astrology, Vashya refers to the influence or control one person has over another. For a harmonious marriage, it is important that the bride falls under the Vashya category of the groom.

Classification of Zodiac Signs by Vashya

Human Signs (Manushya Rashi): Gemini (Mithuna), Virgo (Kanya), Libra (Tula), and the first half of Sagittarius (Dhanu).

Animal Signs:

1. Lion (Simha): All signs except for Scorpio (Vrischika).
2. Aquatic Signs (Jalchar): Cancer (Karka), Capricorn (Makara), Aquarius (Kumbha), and Pisces (Meena) are considered prey (Bhakshya) to human signs.

Principle of Vashya Compatibility

Vashya and Bhakshya: For a successful marriage, the bride's sign should either be Vashya (under the influence) or Bhakshya (prey) to the groom's sign. This ensures that the relationship dynamics are balanced and harmonious.

हित्वा मृगेन्द्रं नरराशिवश्याः सर्वे तथैषां जलजास्तु भक्ष्याः ।
सर्वेऽपि सिहस्य वशे विनालि ज्ञेयं नराणां व्यवहारतोऽन्यत् ॥ २३ ॥

This verse means that except for Leo (Simha), all other signs (Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, second half of Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces) are influenced by human signs (Gemini, Virgo, Libra, and the first half of Sagittarius). Aquatic signs (Cancer, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces) are also considered prey to human signs. All signs, except Scorpio, are influenced by Leo.

Detailed Compatibility Rules

Vashya and Bhakshya: The bride's sign should be Vashya or Bhakshya to the groom's sign. This means the bride should either be under the influence of the groom's sign or be in a category that is prey to the groom's sign.

'बेरभक्ष्ये गुणाभावो इयोः सख्ये गुणद्वयम् ।
वश्यवैरे गुणस्त्वेको वश्यभक्ष्ये गुणार्थकः ॥२३॥

1. No Influence (Abhaav): No points if there is no Vashya relationship.
2. Friendly (Sakhya): 2 points if the signs are friendly.
3. Vashya or Enemy (Vashya or Vair): 1 point if one sign is under the influence of the other or if they are enemies.
4. Vashya and Bhakshya: 4 points if one sign is both under the influence and prey to the other.

In Vedic astrology, Vashya compatibility is crucial for ensuring a balanced and harmonious marriage. The bride’s zodiac sign should ideally be under the influence of the groom’s sign (Vashya) or considered prey (Bhakshya) to the groom’s sign. This balance helps in maintaining a positive and stable relationship.

3) Importance of Tara Compatibility in kundli matchmaking (Destiny Compatibility)

In Vedic astrology, Tara (Destiny) is very important for deciding if a marriage will be good. The match between the bride's and groom's Tara helps determine if the marriage will be successful and lucky.

Calculation of Nakshatra Compatibility

कन्यर्धाद्वरभं यावत् कन्याभं वरभादपि ।
गणयेन्नवहृच्छेषे श्रीष्वद्रिभमसत्स्मृतम् ॥ २४ ॥

This verse means you need to count the number of Tara (birth stars) from the bride's Tara to the groom's Tara, and then from the groom's Tara to the bride's Tara. Divide these counts by 9 separately. If the remainders are 3, 5, or 7, it means the Tara compatibility is not good (inauspicious). If the remainders are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 9, it means the Tara compatibility is good (auspicious).

Example of Tara (Destiny) Compatibility

If the count of Tara from the bride's to the groom's Tara results in a remainder of 3, 5, or 7 when divided by 9, the match is deemed inauspicious.

If the remainder is 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 9, the match is considered auspicious.

Detailed Analysis of Guna Matching (Vaivahik Manohaara)

'एकतो उम्बते तारा शुभावान्यतोऽनुनाः।
तदा सार्थ गुणाधव ताराशुचा निषरत्रयन्।।
उभधोन शुभस्तारा तदा शून्यं समादिशेदः ॥ २४ ॥

1. If one Tara is favourable and the other is not, it results in partial compatibility.
2. If both Tara are favourable, the match is considered fully auspicious.
3. If both Tara are unfavourable, it results in zero compatibility points.

Tara compatibility is very important in Vedic astrology to see if a marriage will be successful and lucky. To check this, astrologers count the Tara from the bride to the groom and from the groom to the bride. Then, they divide these numbers by 9. If the remainders are 3, 5, or 7, it is not a good match. If the remainders are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 9, it is a good match. This way helps make sure the marriage will be happy and prosperous according to traditional astrology.

4) Importance of Yoni Compatibility in kundli matchmaking (Sexual Compatibility)

अश्विन्यम्बुपयोहँयो निगदितः स्वात्यर्कयोः कासरः
सिहो वस्वजपाद्भयोः समुदितो याम्यान्त्ययोः कुञ्जरः ।
मेषो देवपुरोहितानलभयोः कर्णाम्बुनोर्वानरः
स्याद् वैश्वाभिजितोस्तथैव तकुलचान्द्राब्जयोन्योरहिः ॥ २५ ॥
ज्येष्ठामैत्रभयोः कुरङ्ग उदितो मूलार्द्रयोः श्वा तथा
मार्जारोऽदितिसार्पयोरय मधायोन्योस्तथैवोन्दुरुः ।
व्याघ्रो द्वोशभचित्रयोरपि च गौरर्यम्णबुध्न्यक्षंयो-
योनिः पादगयोः परस्परमहावैरं भयोन्योस्त्यजेत् ॥ २६ ॥

Each Nakshatra has a special animal symbol called Yoni. It is important for a happy marriage that the Yoni of the bride and groom are compatible. Some animal pairs do not get along well and should be avoided for marriage. These pairs are:

1. Horse (Ashwini) and Buffalo (Pushya)
2. Lion (Swati) and Elephant (Purvashada)
3. Sheep (Bharani) and Monkey (Shravana)
4. Cat (Rohini) and Rat (Punarvasu)
5. Deer (Mrigashira) and Dog (Moola)
6. Serpent (Ardra) and Mongoose (Magha)
7. Cow (Uttara Phalguni) and Tiger (Chitra)

If these pairs are found, it is better not to get married because they can cause big problems in the marriage.

'महईरे च बैरे च, खभावे च यथाक्रमम् ।
मैत्रे चैवातिमैत्रे च, खेन्दुद्वित्रिचतुर्गुणाः ।।

If the Yonis are enemies, they get zero points. But if the Yonis are friendly, they get more points. Friendly Yonis get two points, very friendly Yonis get three points, and super friendly Yonis get four points. So, the more friendly the Yonis are, the more points they get.

'योनेरभावे नोद्राक्ष स तु कार्ये वियोगहा।
राशिवश्यं च यचरित्र कारयेन्न तु दोषभाक् ॥ २५-२६ ॥

If the Yoni compatibility is not good, we should look at other things like Rashi (zodiac sign) compatibility. This can help make sure the relationship is happy and peaceful.

5) Importance of Graha Maitri Compatibility in Kundli matchmaking (Mental Compatibility)

मित्राणि द्युमणेः कुजेज्यशशिनः शुक्रार्कजौ वैरिणौ
सौम्यश्चास्य समो विधोर्बुधरवी मित्रे न चास्य द्विषत् ।
शेषाञ्चास्य समाः कुजस्य सुहृदश्चन्द्रेज्यसूर्याः बुधः
शत्रुः शुक्रशनी समौ च शशभूत्सूनोः सिताहस्करौ ॥ २७ ॥
मित्रे चास्य रिपुः शशी गुरुशनिक्ष्माजाः समा गीष्पते-
मित्राण्यर्क कुजेन्दवो बुधसितौ शत्रू समः सूर्यजः ।
मित्रे सौम्यशनी कवेः शशिरवी शत्रू कुजेज्यौ समौ
मित्रे शुक्रबुधौ शनेः शशिरविक्ष्माजा द्विषोऽन्यः समः ॥ २८ ॥

In Kundli matchmaking, Graha Maitri (planetary friendship) is important for mental compatibility. The relationships between planets help determine how well two people will get along mentally. Here is how different planets relate to each other:

1. Sun: Friends - Moon, Mars, Jupiter; Enemies - Venus, Saturn; Neutral - Mercury
2. Moon: Friends - Mercury, Sun; Neutral - Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn
3. Mars: Friends - Moon, Jupiter, Sun; Enemies - Mercury; Neutral - Venus, Saturn
4. Mercury: Friends - Venus, Sun; Enemies - Moon; Neutral - Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
5. Jupiter: Friends - Sun, Mars, Moon; Enemies - Mercury, Venus; Neutral - Saturn
6. Venus: Friends - Mercury, Saturn; Enemies - Sun, Moon; Neutral - Mars, Jupiter
7. Saturn: Friends - Mercury, Venus; Enemies - Sun, Moon, Mars; Neutral - Jupiter

These relationships help determine how well two people will connect and communicate. Good planetary friendships mean better mental compatibility, leading to a happier and more harmonious relationship.

Guna Matching:

उत्रेकाधिपतिले च निषले गुणपत्रकम्।
चत्वारः समनित्रत्वे द्वयोः साम्ये प्रयो गुणाः ॥
मित्रवेरे गुणकः समबेरे गुणार्थकः ।
परस्पर लेटबेरे गुणः शून्यं विनिदिशेत् ॥

Planetary Friendship: If planetary lords are friends, four points are awarded.

Neutral Relationship: If the relationship is neutral, three points are awarded.

Enemy Relationship: If planetary lords are enemies, no points are awarded.

'राशिनाथे विरुद्धेऽपि सबलावंशकाधिपी ।
तन्मैत्रेऽपि च कर्तव्यं दम्पत्योः शुभमिच्छता ।' २७-२८ ॥

Even if the main Rashi lords do not get along, if their smaller parts (Amsha) are friendly, the match can still be good. This shows that overall compatibility is very important.

These rules help make sure we carefully check how well two people will get along for a happy and successful marriage.

6) Importance of Gana Compatibility in Kundali matchmaking (Temperament Compatibility)

रक्षो-नरामरगणाः क्रमतो मघाहिवस्विन्द्रमूलवरुणानलतक्षराधाः ।
पूर्वोत्तरात्रयविधातूयमेशभानि मैत्रादितीन्दुहरि पौष्णमरुल्लप्प्रूनि ॥ २९ ॥
निजनिजगणमध्ये प्रीतिरत्युत्तमा स्यादमरमनुजयोः सा मध्यमा सम्प्रदिष्टा ।
असुरमनुजयोश्चन्मृत्युरेव प्रदिष्टो बनुजविबुधयोः स्याद्वैरमेकान्ततोऽत्र ।॥३०॥

Nakshatras (constellations) are divided into three groups: Deva (divine), Manushya (human), and Rakshasa (demonic). Here are the groups:

1. Rakshasa Gana: Magha, Ashlesha, Dhanishta, Jyeshtha, Moola, Shatabhisha, Kritika, Chitra
2. Manushya Gana: Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Rohini, Bharani, Ardra
3. Deva Gana: Anuradha, Punarvasu, Mrigashira, Shravan, Revati, Swati, Hasta, Ashwini, Pushya

If two people belong to the same group, they get along very well. If one is from Deva and the other is from Manushya, they get along okay. But if one is from Rakshasa and the other is from Manushya or Deva, they may not get along at all. This shows how important Gana compatibility is for a happy and balanced marriage.

Compatibility:

If two people are from the same Gana, they get along very well. If one person is from Deva Gana and the other is from Manushya Gana, they get along okay. If one person is from Rakshasa Gana and the other is from Manushya Gana, it is not good and can cause big problems. If one person is from Deva Gana and the other is from Rakshasa Gana, they do not get along at all and will always have conflicts.

सद्भकूर्ट योनिशुद्धिग्रहसरूयं गुणत्रयम् ।
एष्वेकतमसद्भावे कन्या रक्षो गणाः शुभाः ।। (ज्यौ० नि०) ।॥ २९-३० ॥

This verse means that even if there is a Gana Dosha (a problem with Gana compatibility), the match can still be good. It can be good if there is Yoni compatibility (matching animal symbols) or Graha Maitri (planetary friendship). It can also be good if the girl is from Rakshasa Gana and the boy is from Manushya or Deva Gana. So, even with some problems, the match can still be lucky and good for marriage.

7) Importance of Bhakut Compatibility in Kundali matchmaking (Love Compatibility)

मृत्युः षष्ठाष्टके ज्ञेयोऽपत्यहानिर्नवात्मजे ।
द्विर्द्वादशे निर्धनत्वं द्वयोरन्यत्र सौख्यकृत् ॥ ३१ ॥

1. If the Moon signs (Rashi) of the bride and groom are in a 6-8 position, it is considered a deadly combination.
2. If they are in a 9-5 position, it can lead to the loss of progeny.
3. If in a 2-12 position, it leads to financial difficulties.

Other combinations such as 1-7, 4-10, and 5-11 are considered auspicious.

Types of Bhakoot:

1. Samasaptaka (1-7, 2-8, etc.): Mostly good, except for Cancer-Capricorn and Leo-Aquarius combinations.
2. Chaturth-Dasham (1-4, 2-5, etc.): Combinations like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 are friendly and good.
3. Tritiya-Ekadash (1-3, 2-4, etc.): Very good and lucky.
4. Padhashtak (1-8, 2-9, etc.): Some combinations like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 are good, while others like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 are not good.
5. Nava-Pancham (1-9, 2-10, etc.): Some are good, like Aries-Sagittarius and Taurus-Capricorn, while others are not.
6. Dwidwadash (2-12, 3-1, etc.): Combinations like Pisces-Aries and Taurus-Gemini are good.

प्रोक्ते दुष्टभकूटके परिणयस्त्वेकाधिपत्ये शुभो-
ऽयो राशीश्वरसौहृदेऽपि गदितो नाड्यूक्षशुद्धियंदि
अन्यक्षऽशपयोर्बलित्वस खिते नाड्यूक्षशुद्धौ तथा
ताराशुद्धिवशेन राशिवशताभावे निरुक्तो बुधैः ॥ ३२ ॥

There are five ways to fix Bhakut Dosh (problem with Bhakut compatibility):

1. If both Rashi lords are the same (Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries, Scorpio, Taurus, Libra) and there is no Nadi Dosha, the marriage is good.
2. If Rashi lords are friends (like Aries-Leo, Taurus-Gemini, Cancer-Leo, Pisces-Aries) and there is no Nadi Dosha, the marriage is good.
3. Even if Rashi lords are enemies, if Navamsa lords are friends and there is no Nadi Dosha, the marriage is good.
4. If the Nakshatras (stars) of the bride and groom are good and there is no Nadi Dosha, the marriage is good.
5. If there is Rashi compatibility and no Nadi Dosha, the marriage is good.

Bhakut Dosh Cancelling Factors:

प्रोक्ते दुष्टभकूटके परिणयस्त्वेकाधिपत्ये शुभो-
मैत्र्यां राशिस्वामिनोरंशनाथद्वन्द्वस्यापि स्याद् गणानां न दोषः ।

Bhakut Dosh can be cancelled if the Rashi lords (zodiac signs) or Navamsa lords (subdivisions) are friends. This means the Gana Dosha (compatibility problem) will not be an issue. Also, if the planets show strong friendship, the Bhakoot Dosha (another compatibility problem) is cancelled too. These checks help make sure the marriage will be happy and successful.

8) Importance of Nadi Consideration in Kundali matchmaking (Health and Children Compatibility):

ज्येष्ठार्यम्णेशनीराधिपभयुगयुगं दास्त्रभं चैकनाडी,
पुष्येन्दुत्वाष्ट्र‌मित्रान्तकवसुजलभं योनिबुघ्न्त्ये च मध्या ।

वाय्वग्निव्यालविश्वोडुयुगयुगमथो पौष्णभं चापरा स्याद्
दम्पत्योरेकनाड्यां परिणयनमसन्मध्यनाडयां हि मृत्युः ॥ ३४ ॥

In the context of marriage, Nadi (a vital energy channel) is very important for matching horoscopes to ensure the couple's well-being and prosperity. The Nakshatras (birth stars) are divided into three types of Nadis: Adi, Madhya, and Antya. Each type of Nadi includes specific Nakshatras.

Adi Nadi (Beginning Nadi):

1. Nakshatras: Jyestha, Ardra, Uttara Phalguni, Shatabhisha, Ashwini
2. Paired Nakshatras: Jyestha-Moola, Ardra-Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni-Hasta, Shatabhisha-Purva Bhadrapada
3. Additionally: Ashwini

Madhya Nadi (Middle Nadi):

1. Nakshatras: Pushya, Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Bharani, Dhanishta, Purvashada, Purvaphalguni, Uttarabhadrapada

Antya Nadi (End Nadi):

1. Nakshatras: Swati, Krittika, Ashlesha, Uttarashada, Revati
2. Paired Nakshatras: Swati-Vishakha, Krittika-Rohini, Ashlesha-Magha, Uttarashada-Shravana

If both the bride and groom have the same Nadi (either Adi or Antya), it is considered inauspicious, and if both have Madhya Nadi, it is deemed fatal.

Remedies for Nadi Dosha:

1. Different Rashis with Same Nakshatra:
   If the bride and groom have the same Rashi (zodiac sign) but different Nakshatras, Nadi Dosha is nullified.
2. Same Nakshatra with Different Rashis:
   If the bride and groom have the same Nakshatra but different Rashis, Nadi and Gana Dosha are nullified.
3. Different Padas:
   If the bride and groom share the same Nakshatra but different Padas (quarters of the Nakshatra), Nadi and Gana Dosha are nullified.

   प्रोक्ते दुष्टभकूटके परिणयस्त्वेकाधिपत्ये शुभो नाडीदोषो नो गणानां च दोषो नक्षत्रैक्ये पादभेदे शुभं स्यात् ॥ ३५ ॥

If both the bride and groom are born under the same Nakshatra and Pada, it is not favourable for marriage. As per Keshava in "Vivaha Vrindavana" (315), 'Even if born under the same star, if they have similar influences, the results are unfavourable.'

Service and Loan Context:

1. If the master's Nakshatra precedes the servant's, the service will end.
2. In loans, if the borrower's Nakshatra precedes the lender's, the loan may not be recovered.

Village Residency:

1. If the village's Nakshatra precedes the resident's, the residents will face hardships living there.

Nakshatra Compatibility:

1. If the bride's Nakshatra precedes the groom's, it indicates potential troubles or misfortune.

If the total score of Gunas (attributes) is more than 18 after considering all factors, the marriage is deemed auspicious.

1. Reference:

   'गुणैः षोडशभिनिन्यं मध्यमा विशतिस्तथा। श्रेष्ठं त्रिंशद्‌गुणं यावत् परतस्तूत्तमोत्तमम् ॥'

Different schools of thought suggest varying minimum scores for auspicious marriages, ranging from 16 to 36 Gunas.

For an excellent match, especially if Nadi and planetary compatibility is high, a score of at least 13 Gunas is recommended, ensuring the bride’s prosperity and the groom’s long life.

Some scholars believe that if Nadi Dosha and planetary positions align favourably, marriage should proceed, even if other doshas exist.

1. Reference:

   'एकाधिपत्ये समसप्तके वा लाभे तृतीये दशमे चतुर्थे। नाडीवियोगे गणनाप्रमावं न चिन्तयेदुइइनादिकाले ॥'

By thoroughly analysing the compatibility of Nakshatras, Rashis, and planetary positions, astrologers can recommend marriages that promise a harmonious, healthy, and prosperous marital life.

Consideration of Nakshatras for Various Aspects

सेव्याधमर्णयुवतौनगरादिर्भ चेत् पूर्वं हि भूत्यधनिभर्तृपुरादिसद्भात् ।
सेवाविनाशधननाशनभर्तृनाश-ग्रामादिसौख्यहृदिदं क्रमशः प्रविष्टम् ॥३६॥

1. Employment: If the master's nakshatra precedes the servant's nakshatra, it leads to the destruction of service. For instance, if Ashwini is the master's nakshatra and Bharani is the servant's nakshatra.
2. Loans: In loan transactions, if the nakshatra of the borrower precedes that of the lender, the loan may not be repaid, leading to financial loss or litigation. For example, if Rohini is the borrower's nakshatra and Mrigashira is the lender's nakshatra.
3. Marriage: If the bride's nakshatra precedes the groom's nakshatra, it can lead to the husband's demise or the wife's unhappiness. For example, if the groom is born under Punarvasu and the bride under Pushya, it is considered inauspicious.
4. Village Residence: If the nakshatra of a village or town precedes that of a resident, it destroys the happiness of living there. For example, if a resident has Uttara Phalguni nakshatra and the village has a different nakshatra.

1. Marriage Compatibility: When considering various factors from group to nadi, if the total points exceed 18, the marriage is considered auspicious.
   

   - Source: मुहूर्तमार्तण्ड - 'नहीन्दूव गुणैक्यं शुमम्'

2. Guna Matching According to Some Scholars:
   

   - If the total number of matching points is up to 16, it is considered inauspicious.

   
   

   - If it is between 16 and 20, it is of medium quality.

Astrological Considerations

1) Name Matching: To make sure two people get along well, their names should match their birth stars (nakshatras) and planets. There are special rules for what letters names should start with based on their nakshatra.

2) Alternative Names: If the first name doesn't match well with the stars, a new name can be chosen. This new name should have similar letters and match the nakshatra.

Astrologers look at the points and the positions of the planets and nakshatras to see if a marriage will be happy and lucky. This helps make sure the couple will have a good, healthy, and joyful life together

Additional Verses

1. 'न दृष्टा कणाः वर्णा नामादी सन्ति ते नहि। पेद् भवन्ति तदा शेया ग-ज-हास्ते यथाक्रमम् ॥'

Colors, names, and other things are not seen right away. They become visible slowly over time, like the lines on your palm and fingers."

This verse means that some things in life do not show up immediately. They become clear as time goes on, just like the lines on your hands and fingers become more noticeable over time.

2. 'श-स, व-ब, अ-आ, इ-ई उऊ, ए.पे, ओ-ओ में भेद नहीं माना जाता। यदि जन्मनाम का शान न हो तो नाम से ही गणना देखी जाती है।'

No difference is considered between 'श' and 'स', 'व' and 'ब', 'अ' and 'आ', 'इ' and 'ई', 'उ' and 'ऊ', 'ए' and 'पे', 'ओ' and 'ओ', if there is no significance of birth name, then counting is done only through the name."

This verse suggests that in certain contexts, such as counting or classification, the distinctions between similar sounds or letters are not relevant if the birth name doesn't hold significance. It implies that sometimes names or sounds are used simply as a means of identification or categorization.

3. 'अज्ञातजन्मनों नृणां नामने परिकल्पना । तेनैव चिन्तयेद स सर्व राशिकूटादि जन्मवत् ॥'

For people with unknown birth details, we guess their traits from their names. So, we should think of them as having qualities of all astrological signs.

This verse means that when we don't know someone's birth details, we can try to understand them by looking at their name. It suggests that these people should be considered as having the characteristics of all the astrological signs.

4. 'जन्मनं जन्मधिष्ण्येन नामधिष्ण्येन नाममन् । व्यत्ययेन यदा योज्यं दम्पत्योनिधनप्रदम् ॥ ३६ ॥'

"When the name is more important than birth details, we should focus on the name. If there's a difference, the name should be more important for a happy marriage."

This means that sometimes a person's name matters more than their birth details. In these cases, we should pay more attention to the name, especially for making a marriage happy. It's also important to look at birth stars (nakshatras) and planets for things like jobs, loans, marriage, and where you live to make sure everything goes well and to avoid problems.

Praise of Godhuli

गोपैर्यष्टचाहतानां खुरपुटदलिता या तु धूलिर्दिनान्ते
सोद्वाहे सुन्दरीणां विपुलधनसुतारोग्यसौभाग्यकीं ।

ख्यातः पुंसां सुखार्थं शमयति दुरितान्युत्थितं गोरजस्तु ॥१३॥

This time is meant for the happiness of people, and the dust raised by the cows' hooves is said to get rid of all bad luck and misfortunes.
