Mars & Mercury: Matrimony and Evils of Mars (Kuja Dosh), Chapter VI, Part 1


Chapter 6

Dr. Shanker Adawal

The Pivotal Role of Marriage – The Indian culture divides man’s life into 16 Sanskaras of which marriage is the central. After marriage, man enters into Grihasta Ashram which is the pivot on which rest all our social institutions and customs. A householder not only performs his duties towards his family, he replies to all social debts and keeps the wheels of society moving. The married life is not only upholding individual interests but on it also lies the burden of raising a worthy next generation. All this is implicit in our familiar structure.

Therefore, marriage in Indian customs is not a physical or social contract alone, but a sanctified event. It is witnessed by the Panch Mahabhuta, nine planets, thirty-three Koti Devas, Parijan and Purjan and is blessed by Lord Saptapadi through the chanting of Vedic Mantras. So solemnized, the marriage unites the bride and the bride-groom for seven births, both vowing to help each other and share alike the joys and sorrows together.

It is sad to note these and several other aspects denoted by the Indian marriage are getting dim. Yet one may take heart in the fact that Indian people are resilient. Perhaps when the novelty of the new life is faded, we will reinforce our own ways of life. At least individually we can subscribe to a view of life that embraces modernism but does not leave its own virtues.

Mangal Dosh – (Myth and Reality) – As a consequence of our receding faith in our highly developed science of astrology, or even due to creeping of superficiality in our outlook, our consultation of a horoscope is guided by sheer negligence and ignorance. A cursory definition, a ruling by an astrologer and the die is set for boy or girl. A true picture is never presented before parents to know as to what is in store for their wards in future. Astrologer may take from few hours to few days to plot his chart to know about a particular effect. Again tallying of a person’s horoscope with his/her prospective partner to examine if or not they cancel each others evil influences is by no means an easy task. This factor should be of a prime consideration before the marriage, only to avoid problems or a series of problems which the couple have to face after marriage. If this factor is not taken into consideration at first instant then it often becomes too late to do anything about it.

As for Mangal Dosh afflicting a couple, it may be stated here that there are more myths than reality prevalent in this respect. More often unscrupulous, illogical and immature judgements are passed resulting in untold turmoil and anguish for the concerned person which is totally wasteful. It must be kept in mind that if astrological mathematics go wrong, mischievous or incomplete calculation of available facts and figures upset the entire forecasting mechanism and give a completely wrong picture. Instead of the malady being cured or minimized a person is only lost in the maze of the problems.

It is, therefore, necessary that the term Mangal Dosh be first understood. Also known as Kuja Dosh because the planet Mars is involved, Mangal Dosh though resulting in unease and adversities is not always fatal, as it is made out by numerous astrologers and later day theorists. There are proven remedial measures in the form of hymns and chants that reduce, if not nullify, the intensity of the evil in the life of a couple. There are psychological explanations, which we will discuss later, to clarify how and why these hymns prove effective in countering the Mangal Dosh. All the same as per our own wide, ranging study of a particular case of Mangal Dosh operating in a couple’s life, except in some severe cases, we have found that it is rarely that it results in death of a person or of the spouse. Fatality is not ruled out, but it is not a rule with Mangal Dosh.
