Resulting problems in marriage life or   partnership   situations. The   person will also have to endure hardships in the marriage generated by the spouse. As the person   with Kuja Dosha   does not have the   nature to victimize the spouse.   The mechanics of Kuja Dosha are such, it causes the a person with Kuja Dosha to be attracted to a partner who by his/her    very nature can not blend or function compatibly for any great length of time with that person.   The most significant problem is that, a person with a Kuja Dosha will not feel much physical attraction to another with KujaDosha. In Match making most famous and vicious problem is Mangal Dosh. In reality, it is not Mangal Dosh but it is called sumanglikdosha , it means problem in auspicious events of marriage life. It means that problem in something auspicious or good. In other words, stoppage in something auspicious or good work is known as Mangal Dosh. This dosh is known as very big problem in married life.   This dosha affects both married and unmarried people .   A girl is considered to be a Mangalik, if the Mars is placed either in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house of   her horoscope.   A girl having a ‘Mangalik dosha’ or ‘Vishakanya Yoga’ present in her horoscope has a threat of becoming a widow. A ‘kumbha-   Vivaha’  is a must for such a girl.   In Match making most famous and vicious problem is Mangal Dosh.

A girl having a ‘Mangalik dosha’ or ‘Vishakanya Yoga’ present in her horoscope has a threat of becoming a widow. A ‘kumbha-Vivaha’ is a must for such a girl. Mangal Dosha Mala is designed to remove this dosha. Made with a Gauri Shankar rudraksha in the centre, supported by 3 beads of 3 mukhis on either sides.

This dosha is also called Kuja dosha or Bhauma   dosha. Thisdosha occurs   when the   placement   of Mars in the horoscope is in certain houses   that cause malefic influences. People, in whose natal   chart Mars is   placed inauspiciously,   are called Mangliks.   Mangal dosha occurs when Mars is placed in the - ascendant, the second, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house of the   horoscope.   To   ascertain this dosha, some of the ancient Rishis (learned men) of India also checked the Chandra Kundli or the Lunar horoscope. People of both sexes can be Manglik. If a boy having Mangal dosha is married to a girl having Mangal dosha then the malefic affects are nullified leading to prosperity and a happy married life. The most famous myth about being a Manglik is that if he/she is married to a non-Manglik then the spouse is bound to die. This does not happen to everybody. Such predicament is only true for horoscopes, which have a severely afflicted Mars. A good astrologer can do this determination. Approximately 42% of the population are supposed to be of Mangliks. This dosha or fault has varying degrees. Some people can be strong Mangliks and some maybe mild. The milder dosha can be treated by prayers or chanting under the supervision of a Priest or an astrologer. It is not always necessary that the milder Mangliks have to get married to a manglik. They can easily lead a good life with non-Mangliks too. If a marriage is solemnized without consulting the natal charts for the presence of manglik dosha, it can lead to a lot of troubles. Suppose either or the spouse is a manglik, then the married couple is likely to suffer from various problems like unnecessary arguments and undue emotional distress without being able to pin point the cause of the same. In many of the cases the marriage tends to lead to a divorce. To prevent things from going to such an extreme, the ancient sages of India recommended that the horoscopes of both the girl and boy be matched before marriage. If the horoscopes are found compatible then only one should go ahead with the marriage. Like always prevention is better than the cure. Cases Where The Manglik Dosha Does Not exist Lord Rama and Hanuman - The Ideal Friendship Following are the combinations when the Manglik Dosha does not exist. .Before someone terms you a manglik check if these yogas are present in your chart. If they are then you are not a manglik. These have also been verified in practice. REMEMBER THERE IS NOTHING KNOWN AS DOUBLE MANGLIKDOSHA. When Mars is in its own sign (Aries, Scorpio), exalted (Capricorn) or in the houses owned by PLANETS SUPPOSED to be his friends (Sun, Jupiter, Moon) manglik dosha gets cancelled. If Mars is in the 2nd house but in Gemini, Virgo sign then the manglik dosha gets cancelled If Mars is in 12th house but in Taurus, Libra then the manglik dosha gets cancelled.

This way you can lead a happy and prosperous married life.

Above points are given the true effects of Kuja Dosha / Mangal Dosha.

Unfortunately most of the time, people purely and instantly predict the Kuja Dosha, with just noting the planetary position of Kuja. But many people do not heed to the notes of Parashar about the natural cancellation of Kuja Dosha / Mangal Dosha.

Whenever Kuja becomes the LANGA lord or Yog Karaka, the Dosha gets nullified, naturally. Kuja in conjunction with or under the aspect of Guru as Guru is a wise man, it propitiates Kuja. Chandra and Kuja together in a sign (conjunction), will also nullify the Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha. Debilitated Kuja (Neecha Mangal) is sign Karkataka, nullifies the Dosha. When one crosses the age of 28, Kuja Dosha or Mangal Dosha gets naturally nullified as by that time one naturally gets more matured about one’s anger and temperament.

Further, even if one has a Mangal/Kuja Dosha, if the prospective bride or groom, has Shani in any of the 1,2,4,7,8,12 houses the Dosha gets nullified, because Shani, is the opposite of Kuja, it is cold and practical and so can handle the temperament of Kuja.

The Shadbala strength should also be checked, because if it is weak in Shadbala, is of Vriddha Avastha or Mrut Avastha or Baal Avastha, Kuja cannot do any harm.

After cross checking all these above points and issues, should one responsibly say whether the client has a Kuja or Mangal Dosha or not.

If one finds that definitely there is Kuja / Mangal Dosha in the horoscope, then Kuja Dosha Shanti should be done by a competent Brahmin. In such cases, never try to save some small money by performing the Kuja Dosha Puja or Shanti on one’s own, as in the current life styles, the laid Vedic Principles cannot be followed to propitiate planets.

MANY ASTROLOGERS SAY, KUJA DOSHA IS NOT THAT BIG PROBLEM TO BE SEEN IN A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NOT SUCH A SMALL PROBLEM ALSO TO BE NEGLECTED. THE MAIN POSSIBLE REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM IS THAT A MANWITH KUJA DOSHA SHOULD GET MARRIED AFTER 29 YEARS AND IF HE WANTS TO GET MARRIED BEFORE THAT AGE HE SHOULD SELECT THAT WOMAN WHO HAS THE GAJAKESARI YOGA IN HER HOROSCOPE. IN THE SAME WAY A WOMAN WITH KUJA DOSHA SHOULD GET MARRIED AFTER 25 YEARS AND IN THE OTHER CASES SHOULD GET MARRIED TO A MAN WITH GAJAKESARI YOGA, SO AS TO OVERCOME THE EFFECTS OF THE KUJA DOSHA.

ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIES FOR KUJA / MANGLIK DOSHA

KUMBH VIVAH

It is said that the negative effects for a single-manglik marriage can be resolved by performing a ceremony called Kumbh Vivah by the Manglik. It is a ceremony where the Manglik marries a banana tree, a peepal tree, or a silver or golden idol of Lord Vishnu.

POSITION OF MANGAL (KUJA PLANET) IN HOROSCOPE

Astrologers say that if the first house is Mesha or Mesha and Kuja is in Mesha, the Kuja Dosha is not effective, as Mesha is the Own House of Kuja.

FASTING TO APPEASE MANGAL/KUJA

Observing fast on Tuesdays is one of the remedies to appease Mangal. Toor Dhal (split pigeon pea) is the grain related to Kuja and persons who observe fast on Tuesdays can consume it.

CHANTING NAVAGRAHA MANTRAS

Apart from reciting the mantras of Mangal, people can perform particular rituals and poojas to appease the elements in their chart. Chanting Navagraha Stotra is also considered an efficient astrological remedy for Manglik.

VISITING NAVAGRAHA TEMPLES AND PERFORMING POOJAS

Visiting temples of Navagrahas, especially temples of Mangal (Chowa) is considered an important and efficient remedy to reduce the hardships caused by Kuja. However there are only a few temples in India dedicated to Lord Mangal (Lord Kuja).

The most popular temples of Navagrahas are the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu near the town of Kumbakonam. Of the nine Navagraha temples in Tamilnadu, the Vaitheeswaran Koil Temple near Sirkazhi is associated to Angakara (Mangal).

To reduce the ill effects of Mangal, one can also pray to Lord Subramanyeswara or Goddess Durga.

OFFERINGS

Offerings to the charity on Tuesdays are also a good remedy to get rid of Kuja Dosha. Some of the objects that can be donated to appease Kujan are red silks, knives or swords, foods made out of red dhal and red stones including corals.
