Ashta Kutas in marriage matching

Ashta means eight and Kutas means points. There are eight categories from which to judge the energy flow within a relationship from a maximum total of 36 points. Anything over 20 is considered good and horoscope matching is recommended. Between 16 and 20 is considered OK, and the couple can make it if they do not have any major blemishes, have Stri Dirgha, and sincerely love each other. Below 16 is considered very low and the price to be paid for staying in the relationship will be more than it is worth. A description of each category follows. The more points awarded a category, the more important it is. If the points are very low in a category that is worth a lot of points, the couple will have an enhanced awareness of this problem within their relationship.

Combinations for immorality

The characteristics of girls all over the world are characterised by a surprising and wonderful variety and these are accounted for by the permutations and combinations of rasis, constellations, planets and the various states ascribed to these in different places. Take Aries. Kuja in its first degree is not the same as when he is in the second. Ravi in the first degree of Mesha is not the same as Ravi in the 10th or 30th degree of that sign. Similarly every planet in every sign has changes in nature. These wonderful varieties of planets in degrees, bhavas, and signs account for the endless variety we find in the bad or good nature of the people born under their influences. Vrishabha is an even sign and one owned by Sukra. If Chandra is there she will be a good girl. Suppose she is born when the Moon is in the 1st, 3rd, 10th or 30th degree of Vrishabha. Common sense tells us that the Moon is not in Paramochha or in deep exaltation in the 1st, 10th or 30th degree, but he is in deep exaltation in the 3rd degree. In the 30th degree the Moon will be in Peedavastha or in a state of humiliation as he is in the last part of that rasi. In the case of horoscope matching the position of planets in varying degrees cause much harm to the spouse and similiarly for Marriage Matching these factors needs to be considered. Therefore, students in astrology have heavy responsibilities in the art of prediction whose success depends upon a very correct grasp of all these minute points. The mathematical portion of astrology becomes an absolute necessity, when the planets have to be taken in their various divisions and degrees they occupy.

The So-called Kuja Dosha

The position of Venus and Mars is very important in judging marital relations. Mars whose element is fire rules marriage. Where he is badly situated or associated in the horoscope matching of a male or female, it follows that the sacerdotal fire gets extinguished soon. Such unfavourable situation goes under the name of Kuja Dosha. It must be noted that in determining marriage adaptability between two parties, there are several elements of much more importance than Kuja Dosha. And the evil influences accuring from the bad position of Mars is only one of the several elements. It is unfortunate that throughout South India especially in the Tamil areas, much is made of the so-called Kuja Dosham and this bugbear has been the means of destroying the happiness of many families by preventing marriages otherwise very eligible and anxiously wished for. So far as our humble experience goes it is only in the Kerala Sastra that mention is made of Kuja Dosha. The stanza runs thus: Dhana vyayecha pathale jamitre chashtame kuja; Strinam bharthru vinasamcha bharthunam strivinasanam. This means: - "If Mars is in the 2nd, 12th, 4th, 7th and 8th houses in the horoscope of the female, the death of the husband will occur; similar situation in the husband's horoscope causes the death of wife."

longevity in jathaka porutham

In jathaka porutham longevity of the bride and the groom is given utmpost importance.
When there is no longevity in the case of bride, the horoscope must be rejected even though the 7th house may be strong or the requsite number of units are available. Likewise when the 7th house is weak and is considerably blemished, the horoscope to be matched should have antidotes or counteracting influences.

The free online horoscope marriage or the units of agreement should be considered only when
there is general sympathy between the horoscopes of the parties to be brought together. The existing practice almost all poruthams for marriage over India and particularly in the South is highly defective and dangerous as horoscopes are rejected simply because they do not conform to certain
kutas, while the most important factors such as longevity, widowhood, etc., are completely ignored.
Therefore it is very essential to examine to start with, the general strength of the chart in marriage matching; and when good longevity is indicated in both horoscopes and they are free from the afflictions in regard to the 7th and 8th houses, further agreement should be judged. When Mars and;
Venus are in the 7th, the boy or girl concerned will have strong sexinstincts and such an individual should be mated to one who has similar instincts and not a person having Mercury or Jupiter in the 7th, as this makes one under-sexed. When sexual incompatibility sets in marriage, life proves charmless and friction arises between the couple. Therefore it is the duty of the parents to consult learned astrologers and not to entrust the work of comparing horoscopes to all persons who have no
practical experience. History is replete with ill-marriage matches and the most miserable lives the couples had to live.

hindu system of horoscope matching

The Hindus have solved this complex problem of marriage selection by
recourse to astrological considerations, If investigations into the various
kutas are undertaken before the marriage is contracted, there will
perhaps be fewer tragedies than at present and less marital infidelity.
Modern science has devised no means to find out the compatibility
between the marrying couple. Sexologists suggest that the bride and
bridegroom should subject themselves to a thorough medical
examination. Although this sounds reasonable, it makes an important
omission in that mere physical fitness does not ensure complete marital
happiness. Happiness largely rests upon so many other factors that the
aid of astrology should be sought for by every sensible individual.
In selecting horoscopes for marriage purposes, three factors have to be
carefully considered. They are: -

(a) The longevity of the bride and the bridegroom.
(b) The larger strength of the 7th and 8th houses.
(c) Agreeability in regard to the Kutas or poruththam

marriage matching in modern and hindu marriages

In the modern world so much is made of the sex element in marriage
that the other equally important factors, social and psychological, are
practically ignored. The Hindu Sastras, having in view the climatic and
ethnological conditions of India, have fixed the maximum and minimum
age limits for marriage. Marriages between parties belonging to the
same Gotra are not favoured perhaps because of the dysgenic
influence on the offspring. Inter-racial, intercommunal and inter-religious
marriages are not looked upon favourably because in such matches
there are cultural differences.

After a careful consideration of all these factors, the Hindus had devised
an astrological means of judging marriage compatibility whereby the
relations between the couple may stand the strain of maladjustments.
Pseudosexologists and sociologists are not wanting in India who are
ever ready to point out their finger of contempt at the sound and
sensible institution of marriage developed by the Hindus after centuries
of experience and experiments. We are not concerned with such
socialistic theories advocating companionate marriage and encouraging
unbridled licence in love affairs. They may be all right in countries like
Russia and America - the melting pots of different races. But they
cannot hold water in a country like India whose civilisation, culture and
social laws are peculiar to her geographical and historical positions.
