The Science of Kundali Matching
What is Gun Milan?
Gun Milan, or Kundali Matching, is a Vedic astrology method used to check the compatibility between two individuals for marriage. It is based on the position of the Moon in the birth charts of the bride and groom. The system evaluates compatibility based on 8 categories (Ashtakoot), with a total of 36 points (Gunas).
The 8 Kootas (Ashtakoot)
- Varna (1 pt): Spiritual compatibility.
- Vashya (2 pts): Mutual attraction and control.
- Tara (3 pts): Destiny and luck.
- Yoni (4 pts): Sexual compatibility.
- Graha Maitri (5 pts): Mental compatibility.
- Gana (6 pts): Temperament and nature.
- Bhakoot (7 pts): Emotional compatibility.
- Nadi (8 pts): Health and genetics.
What is a Good Score?
A total score of 36 is possible.
- Below 18: Not recommended for marriage.
- 18 to 24: Average match, acceptable.
- 25 to 32: Very good match.
- Above 32: Excellent match, rare and auspicious.
Mangal Dosha
Apart from Gun Milan, checking for Mangal Dosha is crucial. It occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house. It is believed to cause delays or problems in marriage, but can be neutralized if both partners have it.
Common Questions
Can we marry if the score is low?
A low score indicates potential challenges. However, astrology is a guide, not a verdict. Consult a professional astrologer for remedies (Upayas) or if other planetary positions support the union.
Is Nadi Dosha serious?
Yes, Nadi Dosha carries the highest points (8) and relates to health and progeny. It is traditionally considered a major incompatibility, but there are exceptions based on Nakshatra padas.
