may have a peaceful and lifelong relationship
after marriage.
POPULAR METHOD OF MATCHMAKING: -
Usually, it is observed that people consider
astrological matchmaking with incredulity when on the other hand medical
science has also come up with a new way of matchmaking which suggests
matching of blood groups before marriage. The matter of the fact is
that most of the astrologers and astrology softwares match horoscopes in
a cursory manner by taking into consideration just two factors: -
- Whether both the prospective bride and groom are
Manglik or not?
- How much the prospective bride and groom score
in guna matching with a score of 18 and above considered favourable
for mutual compatibility.
USUAL PROBLEMS AFTER THIS KIND OF
MATCHMAKING:
Usually, it is observed that even after
astrological matchmaking based on a study of these two factors there
are: -
- Misunderstandings and quarrels among husband and
wife which sometimes results in divorce as well.
- One of them dies.
- One of them suffers from ill health.
- Couple is childless despite being physically
fit.
- Family is unable to progress well.
- Both are indifferent to each other.
If all these problems
persist after matchmaking it means match was not undertaken correctly.

Gunas are studied based on 8 astrological factors
in the horoscopes of prospective bride and groom.
- Varna

- Nadidosha
All of these 8 astrological factors have been
assigned scores: - Varna- 1, Vashya- 2, Tara- 3, Yoni- 4, Grahamaitri-
5, Ganakuta- 6, Bhakuta- 7, Nadidosha- 8. These total upto
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36 Gunas. Out of these, The gunas which match
positively are added to the score and the points for any doshas
(blemishes) are deducted.

ALONE?
Usually it is observed that even when Guna matching
shows points greater than 18 upto 36 and Manglik or non-Manglik match is
also compatible, couples have mutual differences, suffering in marriage
life and they act against each other’s wishes.

ERRORS IN MATCHMAKING TABLES FOUND IN PANCHAGAS (INDIAN EPHEMERIDES)
: -
Errors can be found in the matchmaking tables found
in panchangas which also need to be considered : -
1. If both the prospective bride and
groom have Ashwini nakshatra (constellation) which means sharing the
same Moon-sign and Nakshatra, the matchmaking table in panchangas assign
28 points and 8 points are deducted for nadidosha and a number of
eligible prospective couples are considered ineligible. Whereas
Pauranic scriptures have stated that: -
Eknakshatrajataanam nadidosho na
vidyate
Anyakshapativedheshu vivaho varjitah sadaa
Which means that if both the prospective bride and
groom share the same nakshatra there is no nadidosha and if they have
different nakshatras whose lords have mutual Vedha they should not
marry. Then why are 8 points are deducted in panchangas for nadidosha?
Pauranic scriptures have also stated that : -
Nadidoshastu vipranaam varnadosho mahibhujaam, Ganadoshashacha
vaishyanaam shudranaam yonidoshakah
Which means that Nadidosha is considered especially
harmful for brahmans, varnadosha for kshatriyas, ganadosha for vaishyas
and yonidosha for shudras.
But usually it is observed that nadidosha is considered especially
harmful in every case which is not correct.
On the other hand, Bhakuta dosha is considered in
relation to progeny but the impact of Navapancham dosha is not found in
panchangas, whereas there are two variations of navapancham dosha: -
1.
When the moon-sign of girl is 5th as counted from the
moon-sign of boy and moon-sign of boy is 9th as counted from
the moon-sign of girl.
2.
When the moon-sign of boy is 5th as counted from the
moon-sign of girl and moon-sign of girl is 9th as counted
from the moon-sign of boy.
Panchangas deduct 7 points in both of the above
stated instances, whereas our pauranic scriptures have stated that: -
Maranam pitrimatroscheta samgrahyam
navapanchakam
Varasya Panchame Kanya kanyaya navame varah
Etat trikonakam grahyam putrapautrasukhavaham
Shadashtake Bhavenmrityuryatnatastam Vicharyeta
Which means that if father of the prospective groom
and mother of the prospective bride have expired then Navapancham dosha
loses its power to do evil and marriage can be consummated because
Navapancham dosha is thought to affect them only.
Still, if the moon-sign of girl is 5th as counted from the
moon-sign of boy and the moon-sign of boy is 9th as counted
from the moon-sign of girl, it is considered positive and gives
happiness of children and grandchildren as it is not supposed to bring
negativity.
CONCLUSION: -
Whereas
it is usually observed that points for both of the abovementioned types
of navapancham dosha have been deducted which is not correct and hence
it is desirable that astrological matchmaking for the purpose of
marriage should be undertaken by taking into consideration not only the
prospective bride and groom but their families as well. Instead of
matching merely Gunas and Manglik dosha a comprehensive matchmaking as
outlined above can help ensure a successful marriage life as well as
prosperity and progress in life.
