Mars or Chevvai Dosha

In the Indian Vedic Kundali Matching there is a lot of importance to Mangal Dosha, Kuja Dosha, Kuja Dosham, Manglik Dosha, Manglika Dosha, in these days.

A simple survey shows that as many as 90% of the people in the Universe will be under the influence of Kuja Dosha. Every one of us, at one time or the other, will hear about Kuja. The word is more prominently heard when horoscopes of the bride and bridegroom are studied before their marriage, especially for matching.

What is Kuja Dosha? What are the remedies? Let us try to examine the Kuja Dosha. Every person on one time or other speaks about Kuja. We all try to know whether the native is having Kuja Dosha or not especially at the time of marriage. What makes us to think of Lord Kuja? Because, He is the only one who creates problems in not only in married life but also in normal life.

People, it seems, fear so much from this Dosha that they just pay attention to only Mangal Dosha and not anything else in the Kundali Matching.

So what actually is Mangal Dosha, why so much fear and worry about it? Let me explain how it is formed.

Unfortunately, in almost all of the cases, we tend to be very much worried about the presence of the Kuja dosha in the natal charts that we begin to feel that certain things in life, such as marital life for instance, will get disturbed or worse they are deprived of. Before we proceed further, it is important for us to be clear that Kuja is not a matter to be afraid of and it is not the end of the world for them.

Matters pertaining to the intensity of the Kuja Dosha and its cancellation play major roles and we shall attempt to study about Kuja, Kuja dosha and various related aspects.

What is Kuja ?

According to antecedents, the very name Kuja came into existence as Ku means earth Ja means birth. It means that Kuja is the son of earth. He was brought up by six Krutika stars resulting with six faces because he is fed by six star mothers. That is reason why he is also called Shanmuka.

Kuja Dosha !

Kuja dosha, Mangal dosha, Mars dosha, Mangalik dosham or Chevvai dosham is very important in match making. It is one important criterion for marriage matching in Hindu astrology.

By preparing and studying the jataka chakrams or birth charts we can say whether a person has this kuja dosha or not.

The most important point to be remember is a person having kuja dosham should marry a person having the same kuja dosham. Marriage between a person having kuja dosham and a person not having kuja dosham should not be done. It is believed to be devastating for marriage, causing discomfort and tension, separation, divorce, and in some cases, it is believed to cause untimely death of one spouse.

It is said that if Mangal Dosha in both the charts is of same intensity then only they should marry with each other.

When Mangal is in the Ascendant (1st House) or in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th House, Mangal Dosha is formed. Whenever Mangal becomes the Ascendant Lord or Yog Karaka, the Dosha gets nullified, naturally. Mangal in conjunction with or under the aspect of Guru (Jupiter) as Guru is a wise man, it propitiates Mangal. Moon and Mangal together in a sign (conjunction), will also nullify the Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha. Debilitated Mars (Neecha Mangal) is sign Cancer, nullifies the Dosha. When one crosses the age of 28, Mangal Dosha or Kuja 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 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th Houses, the Dosha gets nullified, because Shani, is the opposite of Mangal. It is cold and practical and so can handle the temperament of Mangal.

As per Dev Keralam (South Indian treatise on astrology) when Mangal is in the 2nd House, even then Mangal Dosha is formed.

Mangal in these Houses aspects the 7th House of matrimony and the 8th House of longevity and sexual activity in married life. Mangal, being a natural malefic and a hot planet of anger and temper, its aspect or placements in these Houses influences the following:

In the ascendant, it gives a hot temperament and aspects the 7th and the 8th House, which hurts the matrimony.

If Kuja is positioned in the second, fourth and twelfth houses, it is considered as ordinary Kuja dosha. It may cause only normal dosha.

In the 2nd House, Mangal gives temperamental speech and as it aspects the 7th and the 8th Houses, it again hurts the matrimonial home, through speech.From lagna, if Kuja is positioned in the second house, the house is effected as it is domestic house. The house is also called marka stana. So, if Kuja is in the second house, He may cause death or its equivalent. It shows effect only after marriage that may result in separation, leaving the job, violence, financial difficulties etc, will be created. Those natives who speaks rashly both at domestic as well as outside, we can say the native is having Kuja dosha. However, if both wife and husband are having Kuja dosha, it will be nullified.

In the 4th House, Mangal gives hurt emotions and as it aspects the 7th House, ones influence of hurt emotions and feelings will hamper the marriage.From lagna, if Kuja is positioned in the fourth house, the house of domestic harmony will be spoiled. Separation is inevitable. If the native is having this type of dosha, he may sell away the assets and face difficulties. Majority of the natives will face legal problems, lack of sufficient earnings for the work are some of the effects. However, if both wife and husband are having kuja dosha, it will be nullified.

In the 7th House, the partner will also be hot tempered and as his Mangal aspects the ascendant, the person himself or herself will be temperamental so sparks are deemed to fly everywhere in the married life.If Kuja in the seventh house, it creates major problems. The seventh house is considered to the marriage house. Delay in marriage, even after the marriage is fixed, the marriage may be cancelled due to problems with both sides, after marriage is fixed, either the bride or bridegroom may get married with some other, the natives having this type of Kuja dosha may go for blood shed, involving into legal, police and court cases are some of the effects.

In the 8th House, Mangal destroys the longevity of oneself and with its aspect to the second house, creates hot speech, influencing marital harmony.If Kuja is in the 8th house, the house of harmony will be destroyed. The natives longevity will be at stake. There is a possibility of the natives whose natal chart Kuja is positioned may die. If already married, they may be separated with quarrels. Some of the natives may get their marriage delayed or may not be done. They may face some secret health problems. Some of the natives may done to death by the other partner.
 

If Kuja is positioned in the seventh and eighth house, we have to consider the Kuja dosha as severe. To nullify the negative aspects of Kuja dosha, one has to perform necessary remedies.
 

In the 12th House, Mangal will aspect the 7th House and as it is in the 12th House of bed comforts, one may be highly active in sexual activity and hamper the marriage home due to frivolous sexual demands and activity.If Kuja is positioned in the 12th house, it may not cause that much of severe. However, the natives may have to face some problems. As twelfth house is the house of expenditure and the longevity, Kuja may cause effect on these two points mainly.

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

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

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

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

For the purpose of deciding whether a native is having Kuja Dosha, one has to study the natal chart. It is said that the evil results of mars, when counted from Venus, is much more pronounced than when it is in houses 1,2,4,7,8 or12 counted from moon. Evil results of mars from Moon are more evil than those counted from Lagna. In other words, the dosha caused by the position of Mars counted from the Lagna is not as much as it is when counted from Moon. In fact the dosha caused by the position of Mars counted from Venus is the strongest.

It is also said that Mars in the 8 th house is not so bad as it would be if it were in the other houses.They add that Mars in 8 can cause delay in fixing the marriage; there may be some difficulty or difference of opinion in any matter which will cause delay during the negotiation of the marriage.Also the partner will be outspoken and extravagant.

A few authors declare that Mars occupying the 2 nd or the 7 th houses counted from Lagna or moon or Venus in a female horoscope cannot cause dosha.

So also Mars in 1 or 4 or 8 counted from Lagna, Moon or Venus in a male’s chart will not be harmful.

According to some astrologers, Vrushaba, Tula, Mithuna and Kanya rasi natives, if Kuja is positioned in the second house, Mesha, Vruschika rasi natives in the fourth house, Kumba, Simha Rasi natives, if Kuja is anywhere placed, there is no dosha. But due to prolonged experience, it is noted that there are no such exceptions. Even Maharishi Prasura, the father of Astrology said that all stars and lagnas, the dosha will apply same.
