In India, astrology is part and parcel of Hindu marriages. There are several astrologers whose mainstay is matchmaking advice. As a society, also, we Indians are great believers in astrology. All daily newspapers undoubtedly have a section dedicated to astrology and the prediction for the day. Readers especially start off the day by poring over their daily horoscope predictions.
Also, with the advent of internet accessibility to horoscope reports has become very convenient. Indeed, it is a common sight to find parents poring over laptops or mobile phones. Internet has, in fact, made the role of astrology even more entrenched with results coming out in seconds.
Astrological interventions start with birth with Kundali creation for the newborn predicting his/her future. Following this, one seeks astrological consultation at the time of education, job and marriage.
This post refers specifically to the importance of astrology in matchmaking in Hinduism. Astrology plays a role in partner selection, guna rectification and fixing of marriage date and time. All these factors are decided basis astrology where celestial objects influence the life of the concerned. As per astrology all the planets, moon and the sun have an influence on the life of an individual. Therefore, marriage - one of the most important decisions of life - needs to be taken with utmost care and study.
An astrologically compatible match has optimum guna matched upon kundali checking. It symbolizes that the concerned individuals have a celestial tuning with each other. Furthermore, the ‘rashifal’ of the boy and the girl is checked for the ‘doshas’, (bad influence). The presence of doshas is, consequently, sufficient to abandon the match for some. In contrast, some follow certain practices suggested by the astrologers to rectify the doshas.
In addition, in Hindu marriage predictions gunas are given a lot of importance. A total of 8 Gunas are into consideration and they put together comprise a sum of 36. In fact, any marriage can go ahead if two Kundalis have 18 points or above. The following are certain issues on which astrological matching throws some light:
A major reason for the emphasis on Kundali matching is the prediction of success of the match. Kundali Milan takes into account date-of-birth, place-of-birth, star sign, the name and Ashtakoot or Gunas. Combined these factors enable the astrologer to predict the relationship quotient.
In India where most families still follow the joint family system the assessment of families is also of paramount importance. Marriage is an alliance not only of two souls but also of two families. A knowledgable astrologer is also able to predict if their would be familial compatibility.
When two souls come together it is essential to understand if the marriage has financial viability as well. Astrological matching is also able to predict if the matrimonial bond will have financial stability.
For your reference, there are several websites such as Astrosage, MyKundali, Astroyogi, Mpanchang which offer kundali matching services online. To save time you can filter kundalis on your own on these websites.
The marriage dates are decided by an astrologer who is well versed in this knowledge. He looks for the well suited day and time as per the kundali and the Hindu calendar.
Astrologers look at at the current positions of the dominant planets of the boy and the girl to fix an auspicious date.
With changing times, however, one sees a transition in the weight attached to astrology in matchmaking. There is a marked shift towards compatibility between the boy and the girl. Not only perfect alignment of stars but also compatibility needs consideration. If mutual understanding between boy and the girl is missing then no star alignment can save the marriage.
Hence, the need of the hour is to maintain a balance between astrology and compatibility. Without a doubt, compatibility realization is dependent on frequency of meetings and conversations. Parents should give boy and the girl time to know each other before rushing them into marriage.
