What is Manglik Dosha?
The word ‘Mangal’ is associated with the planet Mars. In Vedic astrology, Mars is considered a masculine planet and is known to bear some special characteristics such as physical strength, aggressiveness, ambition and leadership. Manglik Dosha or Mangal Dosha is believed to be an astrological condition caused by the ill placement of Mars in the birth chart of an individual. This dosha arises when Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna in Kundli.
Manglik Dosha is an unfavourable condition and is believed to bring bad luck, challenges and hardships in an individual’s life. A person having Manglik Dosha will face difficulties or instabilities in marriage. This is because an individual with this dosha is typically aggressive in nature, as Mars is known as a cruel planet. It is also believed that if he/she marries an individual without this dosha, then there are chances of separation or even death.
This dosha can bring difficulties in professional life too.
But like every poison has an antidote, we also have remedies for this dosha, to minimize its effect on the individual’s life. Let’s explore the enchanting world of possibilities that can be further turned into remedies.
- Marry a Manglik – The most effective remedy that astrologers believe to minimize the negative and ill impact of dosha on marriage, is to marry a person with the same dosha. This way both can lead a happy and blissful life ahead without facing any difficulty.
- Worshipping God every day – A person with Manglik dosha is suggested to worship and offerings to different gods and goddesses at their special age, that too from a young age. This step will minimize the burden of hardships from one’s horoscope.
- Kumbh Vivah – This is a special kind of ritual, especially made for Manglik. All the things which are done under this procedure are that the person having dosha has to sit in the kumbh vivah and firstly marry with the idol of Lord Vishnu, then, they can marry the Non-Manglik to make negligible effect on their married life.
- Fasting on Tuesday – Many astrologers suggest that observing fast on Tuesday, which is typically a day dedicated day to Mars, can mitigate the negative effects of Manglik dosha. People observe this vrat by fasting, offering prasads and flowers to the gods with devotion can help them to overcome life challenges.
- Get Manglik Dosh Puja done – One of the best remedies is to get the manglik dosh puja done in Mahavir Nath Temple, Ujjain, by following proper instructions and necessary steps. It is believed that this puja is purely dedicated to Mars god and pacifies the malefic effect of the dosha.
