MATCH MAKING

You don’t get to choose your parents or siblings. The only close relationship you get to consciously decide is your spouse. Moreover, in Hindu beliefs, the sacred matrimony is said to span across all seven lives. Hence, it is of utmost importance that you consider all aspects before doing so. By looking at the Kundli, you can successfully forecast the compatibility with your potential match.

As popular saying goes, “The greatest marriages are partnerships. It can’t be a great marriage without being a partnership.” And the best partnerships are made when the stars align in their favor. It is commonly believed that matches are made in heaven, and truly celebrated on earth. For a successful and fulfilling alliance the horoscopes must be compatible because once the knot is tied, the two horoscopes combine, and become one.

Ashta Kutas

The Melapak Chart is the basis of successful match-making. It has eight major factors, known as the Ashta Kutas which are essential to determine the potential of an alliance.

Bhakoot or Rashi : Perhaps the most significant of factors. This Kuta checks the emotional compatibility of the potential couple.

Varna : A person’s temperament is reflected in this factor. This is useful to determine whether the match will proceed in an polite or aggressive nature.

Vashya : This factor expresses the inclination of the potential pair towards each other. It signifies how coordinated they will be in the future years after matrimony.

Tara or Dina : The health and wellness of the couple in the future can be determined by this.

Yoni : This factor signifies the sexual intimacy of the couple.

Gaana : This factor expresses the extent to which the couple’s temperament matches. It can be used to determine whether their union will be followed by peace or disruption.

Graha Maitri : Symbolizes the spiritual level of the potential match. It also reflects on the intellectual understanding.

Naadi Dosha

The Naadi Kota has been assigned eight points. Hence Naadi dosha is a very serious dilemma which has the potential to cause turmoil in the married life of a couple. Ideally, for a happy married life, the naadi of the husband and wife must be different.

Kuja Dosha/ Mangal Dosha

This is a drawback which occurs due to the position of planet Mars. Kuja dosha can be extremely disruptive in a marriage causing hurdes, delays, disputes and allegations. It may even lead to the disruption of marriage if not handled effectively.
