Characteristics of this dosha

1. People of both the sexes can be Manglik.

one with the Mangal Dosha has a volatile temper. Manglik individuals thus face

energy needs to be used in the right direction and in doing something
constructive, or otherwise they might become ruthless.

and worship him on Tuesdays. Offer vermilion and sweets. Also light a ghee
lamp at the temple.

individuals. Some objects that are considered as items that should be offered to

What is Manglik Dosha? What are its

Remedies?

Manglik Dosha
Mars is one of the most important planets in the astrological constituency and plays a
vital role in the event of marriage of an individual. Manglik dosha is a defect is caused
by the planet Mars. It is ought to bring bad luck and affect the person very badly. It is
also known as Kuja dosha.

Formation of Manglik Dosha

Manglik dosha is formed when the planet Mars in placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th and
12th houses of an individuals birth horoscope chart. When the planet is in the 7th
house, it is the most dangerous position to be in since it could affect the persons
marriage at the worst levels.

Reason for Manglik Dosha

When it comes to the marriage, Mars plays a vital role in it in determining the persons
future. It is considered to be a negative planet as far as marriage is concerned. When
Mars is placed in the wrong house, it causes manglik dosha since it is a fierce planet.

Effects of Manglik Dosha

Manglik dosha causes delay in marriage. There are people who dont get married even
when they turn 40 years. When a person with manglik dosha marries a non-manglik
person, it causes severe outcomes, resulting in death of the spouse or chances of
getting physically paralyzed. It also leads to continuous fights, arguments which may
even end up in divorce.

Astrological Remedies for Manglik Dosha

The Manglik dosha effects can be overcome in various ways. Following are a few Vedic
Astrology remedies for manglik dosha.

The Manglik Dosha effect will be neutralized if it is found in both the male and
the female horoscope.

If Jupiter unites together in the line of Mars, then the manglik dosha effects are
neutralized.

If Mars and Rahu are positioned mutually in the horoscope, the effects of the
manglik dosha are neutralized.

The manglik dosha effects will be neutralized if the Mars is placed in its house.

If the Jupiter planet acts as the 8th lord and if Mars is placed in the 8th house
then the manglik dosha effects will be neutralized.

If the Venus planet is placed as the 12th lord and the Mars planet is placed in
the 12th house, then the manglik dosha effects will be neutralized.

These are the effects and astrological remedies to overcome manglik dosha.

How Mangal Dosha or an adversely

posited Mars can affect you?
Planet Mars, when placed in different Houses of the kundali has different effects on
the natives personal life. Lets see how Mangal or Mars forms a Mangal Doshaa in
thekundali
When Mars is placed in 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th House, the kundali has a Mangal
Dosha and the person is called a manglik. The presence of Mangal Dosha or Kuja
Dosha is one of the biggest fears or misconceptions in our society. Even the various
old texts of astrology differ about the Mangal Dosha, what are the exceptions
available and the remedies to nullify it. However, Mangal Dosha cannot be ignored. It
may cause problems in marital life. So, before marriage it is very essential to match
horoscopes for Kuja Dosha. It is also very important to analyse the chart and identify
whether the kundali has a Mangal Dosha or not.
1. If Mars is placed in the 1st House, it will aspect 4th, 7th and 8th Houses. 1st
House signifies the character of the person. Hence, a person may be very
aggressive and short tempered. Afflicted 4th House indicates problems
associated with house, vehicle, accident due to fire, chemicals, electricity etc.
Afflicted 7th House indicates a possibility of obstacles in marital life with spouse,
partnership etc. Afflicted 8th House indicates a possibility of fatal accident. So,
the placement of Mars in the Ascendant is considered as a drawback.
2. If Mars is placed in the 4th House, it will affect 7th, 10th and 11th House in
addition to 4th House. We have already seen adverse effects of afflicted 4th and
7th Houses. Afflicted 10th House indicates a possibility of frequent changes and
disturbances in profession, sleep and issues with father. Afflicted 11th House
indicates possibility of losses due to accidents, thefts etc. So, the placement of
Mars in the 4th House is not very well received.
3. If Mars is placed in the 7th House, it will affect the 10th, 1st and 2nd Houses.
7th is the House of marital life and spouse. So, the presence of Mars in the 7th
House indicates turbulent married life. Afflicted 2nd House can create issues
among the family members; there are chances of frequent problems and lack of
harmony among the members due to conflicts. Also, there may be loss of
money or unexpected expenses. So, the placement of Mars in the 7th House
may gives rise to hardships
4. If Mars is placed in the 8th House, it will affect 11th, 2nd and 3rd House. The
person is prone to fatal accident due to fire, chemicals, electricity etc. Also,
afflicted 3rd House may create tensions among siblings. It also makes person
very rude and arrogant, and tends to hurt others quite often and may also suffer
failures. So, placement of Mars in the 8th house is considered as a drawback.
5. If Mars is placed in the 12th House, it will affect 3rd, 6th and 7th House. 12th
House signifies the spending habits of the person. So, it highlights the fact that
the person may go overboard with expenses. A person may be prone to
diseases caused due to acidity, hyper tension, diseases related to blood etc. So,
the placement of Mars in the 12th House is considered as a drawback.

So, Mangal Dosha can cause many problems. But these are very broad guidelines.
Many other aspects and angles need to be studied. The overall strength of the
horoscope, strength of the planets, benefic aspects, and Mars strength must be
considered. Exceptions and

cancellations of Mangal Dosha:

1. If Mars is debilitated.
2. If Mars is combust
3. If Mars is in own sign Aries or Scorpio
4. If Mars is exalted
5. If Mars is in Leo in 8th House
6. If Mars is in Sagittarius in 12th House.
7. If Mars is aspected by a benefic.
8. If a strong benefic is placed in the 9th House
9. If Mars is exalted or in its own sign in Navmansa chart.
10.

If boy and girl both are Manglik

The Mangal Dosha can be troublesome and affect the married life, substantially. But
kundali matching and judging the Mangal Dosha is the job of an expert astrologer, and
it must be done only after carefully analysing the horoscopes of the boy and the girl,
both.
Here are the remedies for the Mangal Dosha. Following these may reduce
the ill-effects of Mangal Dosha and give good results:
Appease Lord Ganesha in the following manner.
1. Offer red flowers and gud (Jaggery) to Lord Ganesha everyday. While
worshipping, recite the mantra: Om Gan Ganpataye Namah 108 times.
2. Donate Blood on Tuesdays (quarterly), if health permits.

8. Feed birds with sweet.

LEARN ASTROLOGY - LESSON 32

"Mangal Dosha"
The most dreaded concept of Mangal Dosha/Manglik, as per classical vedic astrology
principles means early death of spouse or inharmonious relationship with the spouse
in the early years of marriage.
A person is treated as Manglik when Mars is placed in the first, second, fourth,
seventh, eighth and twelfth houses from the natal ascendant or natal Moon. Some
modern astrologers even include these positions from Venus. This way more that 80%
of the human beings will be graded as Manglik. In classical astrology, there are some
exceptions for those ascending signs (Aries, Scorpio, Cancer and Leo) where Mars is a
benefic planet. This concept is not true.
As per the Systems'Approach for Interpreting the Horoscopes, the said position of
Mars in a chart does not make a native Manglik in case Mars is a functional benefic for
the natal chart. As per the Systems' Approach, for the natal charts with ascending
signs of Virgo, Scorpio and Taurus where Mars is a functional malefic, Mars can
generate the results of the so-called Manglik yoga if the impact of Mars is close/exact
to the most effective point of the house and the lord of the house where Mars is
posited, is weak. There is no exception to this rule.
The close trine aspect of a functional benefic Jupiter and the third aspect of a
functional benefic Saturn are capable of warding off the evil results generated by Mars
to a large extent.
The functional malefic planets as per the Systems' Approach act identical to Mars in
case these malefic planets form close conjunction/aspect with the houses/planets
signifying marital happiness. Therefore, for understanding the true impact of Mars in a
natal chart we have to clearly understand the functional nature of planets.

REMEDIAL MEASURES IN ASTROLOGY
Predicting future is one part of the story in case of Astrology while remedial measures
is the essence, which helps us in providing umbrella during cloudy days. Astrology
offers help in the form of astral remedies. Those who do not want to do astral
remedies, there is little which can be done for such people except telling them about
the period of suffering or the time to come.
When planets are indicating tragic happenings then people usually do not perform
astral remedies to protect themselves against the expected losses and the weakness
of Jupiter and the lord of the ninth house is always a contributing factor in this regard.
The planetary relationships give results according to the indications in case no
preventive remedies are performed.
Indications of time can only be modified with the help of the astral remedies. Until and
unless the astral remedies are performed, in our views the extent of the services of
the divine science of Astrology is very much limited. Some people hold the view that

those who prescribe astral remedial measures are incompetent to make predictions. I
can only pity at their lack of power to understand. Such people forget and disregard
Maharshi Parashara, who propounded the theory of remedial measures. The
preventive remedial measures provide relief from sufferings while remedial measures
after some tragic incidence help in rehabilitation.
The strengthening astrological remedial measures are suggested for all the functional
benefic planets even if they are not weak and afflicted in the natal chart. The
strengthening measures provide a preventive cover to the planets against their transit
weakness. Similarly, the propitiating remedial measures are advised for all the
functional malefic planets even if they are not forming close afflictions in the natal
chart. The propitiating remedial measures provide a preventive cover for transit and
natal afflictions.
The problems in life are caused by weak planets and/or afflictions to them. To help
people overcome their problems, the astrologer advises appropriate astral remedies,
such as meditation and spiritual practices, color and gemstone therapy, the wearing
of a kavach or amulet as a protective shield, and the participation in pujas and
yagnas, etc. Therefore, a two-way application of astral remedies is administered after
diagnosing the problematic planetary influences in a chart. Firstly, the strength is
provided to the weak functional benefic planets. The strength can be provided by
various methods, e.g. gemstones, color therapy, Kavach (the protective shield
containing mystical numbers of the planets) in an auspicious time. Secondly, the
malevolence of the functional malefic planets is reduced through the regular practice
of meditation, spiritual practices and offering propitiatory charities concerning these
planets. The two-way application helps in reducing the impact of malefic planetary
influences to a large extent. The preventive use of astral remedies is much more
useful than the curative astral remedies.
Generally, people resort to astral remedies in the end after trying all other therapies
ignoring the distinct advantage of preventive diagnostic power of the astrological
science. Needless to stress the benefit of preventive medicine/redressal measures as
against those of the curative measures.
Whenever practiced with faith and sincerity, the efficacy of astral remedies in terms of
immediate results depends on many things including the ascendant and the strength
of the natal planets. If the functional malefic planets are more in the natal chart, with
multiple close afflictions, and the functional benefic planets are weak, one benefits
with lot of delay. For example, the people born in the Virgo, Cancer, Pisces, Taurus and
Capricorn ascendants need lot of time for sincere and faithful performance of
propitiatory remedies. Then the further factors to be seen are the strength of the subperiod and the transit influences.
For both - curative and preventive remedies - the judicious mixture of the following
astral remedies is applied.
GEMS: The empirical studies of our ancients reveal that besides medicines the gems
and colors are capable of providing good health and mental/spiritual happiness. The
efficacy of the gemstones is recognized by the Ayurveda, the ancient system of
medicine. The importance of time, which means the planetary influences at a
particular point of time and at a particular place, has always been recognized since
ancient times. The references have been found in the Hindu scriptures, Islamic
literature, Shakespearean era and the New Testament. It is also firmly believed that
the potency of medicines and its curative power increase when the medicine is

administered at a particular time of the day and in a particular season.

To provide strength to the weak natal planets, the divine science of astrology
recommends use of gemstones for the favorable planets in an auspicious time. The
strength of the planets is raised through the application of influence of concentrated
rays of a particular color of a gemstone, which represents a particular planet. The
gems represent the rays of light peculiar to different planets. The men and women
use them for raising the power of planets besides wearing them for ornamental
purposes. In Chapter 6, we indicate the gemstones and colors ruled by each planet.
These are the gemstones recommended to begin use in an auspicious time for
particular planets if they are favorable in one's birth chart. The weight recommended
for all the gems except diamond is between 4.6 to 4.7 carats. The recommended
weight for diamond is either 1 or 1.8 carats.
COLOR THERAPY: This is a very potent preventive remedy for epilepsy, mental
retardation, psychic problems, etc. and is practiced through the use of favorable
colors in the matters of dress and furnishings in one's living room. As each day of the
week is ruled by a particular planet, each day we should dress at least one wearable
garment of the color indicated for that planet if functional benefic.
KAVACH: This is a protective shield in the form of a yantra which is made of silver
containing mystical numbers of the functional benefic planets in a nativity and is a
strengthening measure, providing protection to the natal and transit afflictions of the
weak functional benefics. With its use, the weak planets are enabled to protect and
promote their significations. The Kavach draws its power from the powerful planetary
position in which it is created and it is worn also in a specially elected auspicious time
for generating the desired impact. It is certainly not a miraculous or magical object.
This is part of faith healing and its effectiveness and the amount of help cannot be
measured in a scientific manner. The confidence of the Kavach providers is based on
the feedback of the users. This is used both for preventive and curative purposes, and
dispenses with the necessity of wearing different gems for different planets.
As we have said, it should begin to be worn in another auspiciously elected time. The
auspicious time is worked out with reference to the place of stay. Gem therapy has no
comparison to the benefits gained by wearing the Kavach which also acts as a
protective shield. When used as a preventive therapy it is likely to benefit in the
following areas:- Success in studies
- Success in professional career/business
- Develops leadership skills
- Improves memory and analytical skills
- Protects health against dreaded diseases like cancer, blood pressure, renal disorders,
diabetes, epilepsy, paralysis, depression, etc. etc.
- Gives timely marriage
- Gives success in relationships
- Blesses with children
- Blesses with achievements and recognition in life and so on and so forth the list is
very long.
For further detailed study on election of auspicious time the interested readers may
study my book, SYSTEMS' APPROACH FOR INTERPRETING HOROSCOPES.
VASTU: Again this is a preventive as well as a curative therapy for solving the
problems in physical and spiritual areas. Wider applications of this therapy are in the

field of success of professional ventures. This is practiced through the use of proper
outlay of a building to derive geo-magnetic forces for properly energizing the total
impact of that building with the help of light, air, space and aura conducive to the
main function of the environment. While there is no detailed study of vastu in my
books, the relevance of vastu has been discussed in the book, "Predictive Techniques
and the Application of Astrological Remedial Measures". The minimum vastu to be
kept in view is:
1. Place of meditation in north east;
2. Bedrooms in south and south west;
3. Children's study in north;
4. Kitchen in south east;
5. Stairs in south-west;
6. Heavy structures in the house in south-west;
7. One should sleep with one's head in east, or south or south west directions;
8. The central place of the residential unit should be empty;
9. There should be openings in east and west and it would be better if the opening is
also in south direction;
10. The opening only in south direction creates conflicts and diseases while the
openings only in north direction stops family prosperity and sometimes even
continuity. Opening only in the west direction brings poverty.
11. The place should be properly lit and pastel colors of functional benefic planets
should be used on the walls;
12. The furnishings should be mostly plain or with very little flowery designs. In any
case the patterns and designs on the fabric should not be too imposing.
MANTRAS: As part of the meditation, the recitation of Mantras is prescribed for
propitiating the trouble causing planets as per the Vedic rituals.
CHARITIES: These are offered for the functional malefic planets causing
afflictions/problems in a horoscope. The malefic influences are effectively tackled with
the help of one of these propitiatory remedial measures for each planet when acting
as a functional malefic:
SUN:
" Serving one's father or helping old age needy persons. " Give wheat soaked in water
with 20 grams of jaggery (Gur) to a cow on Sundays.

MYTH AND REMEDIES

Manglik dosh or Mangal dosha is much talked about thing in Indian society and

marriage. In the horoscope matching process, it is very essential to match Manglik
characters along with all other characteristics of the future bride and groom, the

formed when mars is placed in either dominant (First House), House of contentment or
mental peace (Fourth house), House of marriage (Seventh House), House of long life
(Eighth House) or house of spending (Twelth House).
When other painful planets like Rahu, Sahni and Sun are placed in the above
mentioned houses and Mars is placed in some house other than these mentioned
above then a yoga is formed which create ill effects similar to manglik dosha, though
the harshness of the ill effects will be lesser in comparison to Manglik dosha formed
by Mars. This placement of Mars could be in the Lagna Kundali (Ascendant chart) or
Navamansa chart or Chandra Kundali(Moon chart) or in all of them. If this placement
of Mars is in one of the above stated charts then the ill effect will be lesser. If this
happened in two or all of the charts then the ill effect will be more severe.

Clashes and quarrels in marital life.
Incompatibility in marriage and thoughts.
Death of spouse.
Mangal dosh cause delay in many important aspects of life apart from these effects
like in education, career or profession and child birth.
The terrible fear of being a Manglik is that if one is married to a Non-Manglik then the
partner is bound to die. This does not true to everybody. This anticipation is true for
horoscope, which has a harshly afflicted Mars. You should get it checked by an expert
astrologer. There is no need to fear a lot as approximately 40 per cent population are
supposed to be of Mangliks.
This dosha varies person to person. Few people can be strong Mangliks and some may
be minor. The minor dosha can be treated by prayers or chanting under the
supervision of a Priest or an expert astrologer. It is not always compulsory that the
Mangliks have to get married to a Manglik. They can easily lead a good life with nonMangliks too.If a marriage is fixed without checking the natal charts for the presence
of Manglik dosha, it can create a lot of troubles as married couples are likely to suffer
from various problems like unwanted arguments and undue emotional suffering
without being able to say the cause of the same. In many of the cases the marriage
ends in to a divorce. To avert things from going to such an extreme, the ancient sages
of India recommended that the horoscopes of both the girl and boy should be
matched before marriage. If the horoscopes are found compatible then only one
should go ahead with the marriage as always prevention is better than the cure.

house it is considered to double the effect of Manglik dosh but in reality it will
decrease the effects of dosh instead of increasing it. People born on Tuesday are
