Continuation…

In fact, the five ancient Indian authoritative texts on astrology do not even take up a systematic treatment of the subject and it is left to a later day south Indian Book to broach the topic in any definitive detail. Though these texts – the Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra, Jataka Parijata, Saravali, Phaladeepika and Prasna Marg – do discuss threadbare the effects and ills of Mangal Dosh, but it is passing alongwith several other astrological factors governing a person’s life.
The result of a confusing stand on Mangal Dosh is often, a non-Mangali subject is declared Mangali on the basis of the birth chart without taking into account related factors that may have reduced or even totally, cancelled out the Mangal Dosh. The search for a matching Mangali suitor begins with distortion of the available facts which becomes disastrous in the future. In the case of girl particularly, this plays a havoc because she will have fewer suitors to choose from. Then the balancing mechanism having been distorted from the beginning, wrong partner will be finally selected. This is the least unpardonable. Worst, sometimes, the parents of the girl in desperation resort to falsehoods in getting wrong horoscope prepared, compounding the entire problem.
In rests, therefore, with all those connected with astrology as also the concerned party/parties to carefully ascertain the parameters of Mangal Dosh operating in a particular case before laying out the case of an individual.
This exact charting of the Mangal Dosh pattern in all its manifestation is the starting point of the present investigation.
Mangal Dosh : Some Home Truths – Mangal Dosh, as will be discussed later, is caused chiefly by adverse positioning of the planet Mars, but other planets like Rahu, Ketu, Saturn and Sun also cause the affliction in certain position. The net Mangal dosh forany person is defined by Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Sun and by certain cancellations effected by favourable planets and favourable positioning of certain planets which reduce the intensity of Mangal Dosh, sometimes rendering it almost ineffective. Nevertheless Mangal Dosh once discovered to be present in one’s birth chart, invariably affects the personality, the outlook and the destiny of the person and those nearest to him. With the result the person needs to pay special attention to this affliction, train his mental affectation to counter evil emanations – instincts – and mould his thoughts in patterns that conform to successful living. This can be achieved through a proper understanding of his own Mangal afflicted psychology, which is driving him towards a particular aggressive and aggravated behavior harmful in the end, and through comparing himself with the psychology of others who live a benign but progressive life, easily surmounting the difficulties that come in the way.
Mars, considered the most malefic planet as far as Mangal Dosh is concerned, has been regarded by astrologers since the times immemorial as the worst culprit. Laterly,Mars is at its cruelest when it occupies Lagna, 2nd, 4th, 7th or 12th house. Some scholars also add the 8th house in the list.
The prediction in Bhava Deepika of Kerals says:-
But scholars a regard this statement, that the spouse of a Mangali native dies, with a pinch of salt. Large scale experience also proves that this is not properly interpreted. Another Shaloka states:-
If Ravi and Rahu are with Atmakarka in the Navamsa chart and they are also aspected by Mars, one burns his own house or helps others to burn theirs.
Kalidasa explains in “Uttara Kalamrita” that Kuja Dosh should be considered from Lagna, Moon or Venus depending on which is the strongest. Mantreshwara also holds the same view in “Phaladeepika”.
