Kuja Dosha

---------------------------

One of our members has asked the following question:

 

>I have one question about Kuja dosha. I read that there is some

>disagreement amongst astrologers if Kuja dosha is present when

>Mars is in the first or second house. Some say, the first house

>is right, others say the second house is the right one.

 

>Please can you tell we how it is actually?

 

Both.

 

Mars, also known as Kuja or Mangala or Angaraka or...

Is known for his violent, incendiary nature. Of course he

has good qualities also such courage, energy, fighting

spirit, etc. But it is these very qualities which can go

out of whack and create harm. Kuja Dosha is looked at in

regards to marriage so that there will be good match

between the couple. Kuja Dosha is supposed to kill the spouse.

The negative locations for Mars are 1,2,4,7,8 & 12 from

Lagna, Candra or Sukra. In 1st it makes the native violent

and also gives baneful glance at 7th house of spouse. (The

same logic reversed for 7th house). In second house Mars

gives the person very sharp violent speech leading to

fights. Also 2nd is the 8th house from the 7th (spouse) so

Mars in 2nd is in the Marakastan of the spouse, not good

yield early death. In 4th Mars gives native disturbed,

angry mind and Mars aspects the 7th giving trouble to

spouse. &th we have already covered. 8th is the same as the

2nd but reversed sharp tounged spouse and short life for

the native. In 12th it disturbs the pleasures of the bed,

potential for infidelity, over-sexed nature. From 12th Mars

aspects 7th giving harsh treatment to spouse.

 

Like everything else there are exceptions to this rule. If

Mars is very strong by ucha(exaltation), swaksetra(own

sign), is yoga Karaka (owns good houses) etc. The defect is

reduced or nullified. Defect in the 2nd nullified if second

owned by Mercury. In 12th if owned by Venus. In 4th if

ruled by Mars. In 7th if ruled by Capricorn or Moon. In 8th

if ruled by Guru. In Kumbha and Simha there is never dosha.

Also the dosha is countermanded if Mars joins Moon or

Jupiter. Or if Guru or Sukra in the lagna. [From Muhurta by

B.V. Raman] He doesn't include 1st but it is easy to see

why it should be included.

 

Kuja Dosha may not kill but it could ruin a marriage by ill

behavior on the part of one or both parties. It is also

supposed to be cancled out by matching with another person

who has it also.

 

The whole chart should be carefully considered not just one

planet. Mars could be well placed and perfectly strong and

innocent. But if instead of Mars you were to have Sun,

Saturn, Rahu or Ketu in the places just mentioned you also

have the formula for serious marital problems. What to

speak if there is a combination of these. Sun in the 7th is

notorious for a person being humiliated by their lover.

Etc.

Kuja dosha

---------------------------

Interesting question.

As far as I understand, it is good if one devotee/ marriage partner

can compensate for the weakness of the other and in case of the

other`s kuja dosa have a well-placed kuja or guru aspecting/joining

the other`s kuja etc. While kuja dosa of a similar type in both

charts tends to increase the affliction.

 

Still you have to study each situation individually. There are many

different types of kuja dosa. Generalization is mostly not helpful.

In the case of a kuja dosa that will predictably decrease the longevity,

I do not believe that the karma of the partner can have much influence on

it, either way. The remedy that can make a difference is chanting of

protective prayers, names of god, religious charity, etc. I have seen

that some afflicted situations can be relieved by such methods, just

like in the case of one devotee couple who were meant to remain childless

but later gained a brilliant devotee child by special dedication

to chanting, sadhana etc. There are also the 108 names of Sri

Caitanya, by Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya. In the last verse he promises

that even a childless devotee couple will receive a child by chanting

this prayer daily. It seems that part of any dosa can be relieved

by one`s own actions. Of course, a marriage partner of pious and

devotional disposition can support these types of spiritual endeavors

and a combined endeavor to please Lord Krishna can be more effective.

There may also be some part of the marriage partner`s karma that

has to be shared. This side has to be accepted but it should not be

overly stressed, beyond what is obvious and within the normal,

natural perception. I mention this because there is a tendency in

India to punish a woman severely, if her husband dies prematurely.

They say, it is her bad karma that killed him. So they punish her

mercilessly a second time. I do not think that this is at all the

right approach. Rather we harvest the fruit of our own actions and if

we act rightly we are always protected. So it is only a part

of the marriage partner`s karma that is shared but I do not see

how a pious, righteous husband should be killed by the bad karma

of his wife.

Indirectly however, the association has a great influence and may

contaminate or purify us. So an extremely chaste wife can save her

husband from death even, it is said, but this is extremely rare.

In fact the only case I know involved the wife`s personal negotiation

with Lord Yamaraja.

 

In any case, if I had an afflicted longevity I would hardly want

to marry a partner whose seventh house indicates early loss of spouse.

But then it may not be avoidable, by destiny. Better a short life in

full Krishna consciousness than a long life like that of a tree.
