What it is & how does it affect us????

Paying
obeisance to Lord Mars---a form of Shree Vishnu, I am writing this much
sensitive topic, viz. Kuja Dosha i.e. a “Dosha” or “an ominous combination
caused by the Mars”. There other names also as Bhauma Dosha (Mangal or Mars also
known as Bhauma as he is the son of “Bhumi” that is earth), & finally Mangal
Dosha. Wrongly, it is also termed as “Manglik” as in this case Mangal is not
meant to be the planet, but it relates to what is supposed to be Good or
auspicious.
It has been seen that around 30% of the people have Kuja Dosha
while 10% of them get it cancelled in their chart itself, but due to ignorance
gets deceived by greedy astrologers.
In this article, I will cite slokas from
our classics n examples as necessary.
What is Kuja Dosha?
----As said
before it is an ominous combination caused by Mars... but it remains vague if
not properly explained.
The classic says,
lagne byaye ca pätäle yämitre
cäñöame kuje
kanyä harati bhartäram bhartä bhäryäm haniñyati
It means that
presence of Mars in Lagna, 4th house, 7th house, 12th house or in 8th house
results into Kuja Dosha. If the bride has this kind of placement of Mars in her
chart, then she becomes the reason for her husband’s death, while if the groom
has this kind of placement, then he becomes the reason for his wife’s
death.
Some often includes 2nd house for no reason, others consider it with
respect to other planets, which should not be done &
reasonless.
Remedies?
--- There are remedial measures, but not any kind of
wearing stones or any kind of sacrifice. The same classic says---
evambidhe
kuje saðsthe bibäho na kadäcana
käryo bä guëabähulye kuje bä tädåçe
dvayoù
---In such condition, you should not give marriage (that means if any
one them that means if either bride or groom possesses this dosha). However, if
one having Kuja Dosha with Mangal having “guna” or good conditions (like exalted
Mars, aspected by benefics, occupying own house or mooltrikona etc) or if both
bride & groom have Kuja Dosha then marriage is permissible.
The point to
be noted here is that it deals exclusively with Mangal Dosha, a part of the
match making but not the overall match making. As we know, Mars in 4th, 7th or
in 8th afflicts the marital life etc. However, exceptions are there according to
the placement etc.
My Comments: - If Mars is exalted, in mooltrikona, in own
house, or in a friendly house & in houses of benefic in divisional charts,
then the “power” Kuja Dosha reduces.
If Mars becomes a Yogkarak for a given
lagna (being the lord either of Kendras or Trikonas) & if aspected (or
associated) by benefic & friendly planets then the Kuja Dosha is
reduced.
Cancellation of Dosha?
---Yes, certain combinations have been
found to cancel the Mangal Dosha in the chart itself. Brihat Jyotish Sara gives
us the combination through which we can see cancellation combination of Kuja
Dosha. It reads like this: -
yämitre ca yadä sourirlagne bä
hibuke'thabä
añöame dvädaçe caiva bhoumadoñe na vidyate
--It means that if
Saturn is located in any of the places as Lagna, 4th house, 7th house, 8th
house, or 12th house(where the native has already Kuja Dosha my placement of
Mars in the said places & is not in good conditions), then the Kuja Dosha
gets cancelled.
My Comment:-
However, if the same Saturn is posted in the
said places, then the Kuja Dosha is not cancelled, instead the Dosha becomes
stronger.
Another verse from another classic (probably from Garga samhita):
-
lagne caturthe ca byayäñöame nage rähüù çanirbäpi yadi sthitaù syät
tadä
kujo naiva karoti doñam bibähakäle prabadanti gargäù
--It means that if
either Rahu or Saturn is posted in any of the houses, viz. lagna, fourth house,
twelfth house, eigth house or seventh house, (while Mars in any of the houses of
1/4/12/7/8), then “tadä kujo naiva karoti doñam”---Mars cannot do any harm after
marriage, such says Sage Garga.
My comments: - Same as before. One more thing
is that, suppose the bride is of Tula lagna, with Mars in Lagna, while
Rahu/Saturn is in seventh from Lagna; here Kuja Dosha is cancelled, but the
seventh house is afflicted & no harm will be caused to the native, which
might be termed as due to “Kuja Dosha”.
The Conclusion:-
I have tried my
best to conclude about the cause, exceptions, & results of Kuja Dosha
through excerpts from the classics & have tried my best to illustrate with
some examples. As a final note, Kuja Dosha should always be considered from
Lagna & not from rashi or any other planets. Position of Mars on the said
positions must be seen to check Kuja Dosha & not any other else (but
wrongly, some astrologers include second house in the list).
If this article
is lacking in something, then please let me know & please forgive all
shortcomings.
