Milan (Matchind Kundalis). People have many different perceptions about matching Kundalis. But, you will

just a Yog like any other Yog in the Kundali. If a person with Mangalik Yog marries a person with Mangalik

Ashtakut Milan. It is believed that at least 18 points should be matched for a smooth marital life. The more
the points, the happier will be the marital life. But it is strange to see that sometimes people with more

Goddess Sita faced in their marital life. Even they had 36 matching points. Hence, Karma of the past life
should also be noted along with Gun Milan.

is considered to be auspicious.

What is Yoni Milan?

We will now discuss Yoni Milan as a part of the process of matching Kundalis. This Milan has been given
four points in the whole process. We bring a Yoni with us whenever we are born. This has been
mentioned in the Shastras. It is said that a glimpse of a persons Yoni can be seen in his behaviour and
attitude.

There are some Yonis which are enemies to each other. For example : Marjar (Cat) and Mushak (Mouse).

be enemies to each other.

What is Grah Maitri?

Till now, we have provided you with information on four types of Milan. Grah Maitri is the next part of the

are friendly to each other or are in the same sign. This helps in living a smooth life. There is a tremendous
decrease in the number of problems.
If the Lords of the Moon signs are enemies to each other, the family life is usually tensed.

What is Gana Milan ?

Let us now talk about Gana Milan. Gana Milan has been given six points. Gana have been categorized on
the basis of the Nakshatras of the bride and the groom. The twenty seven Nakshatras have been
categorized into three different parts. Maximum six and minimum zero points are awarded in this Milan. In
case, Gana are same, six points are awarded.
As we proceed further in the process of matching Kundalis, the points and importance of the different
steps in the process increase. This Milan is also considered to be extremely important. The behaviours of
the bride and the groom will be quite different from each other if one belongs to Deva Gana and the other
belongs to Rakshas Gana. Hence, such couples can face problems in their marital life.

What is Bhakoot Milan?

Seven points are awarded in this Milan. This an important part of the process of matching Kundalis. It is
based on the Moon signs of the bride and the groom. The placement of the Moon in the Kundalis of the
bride and the groom is analyzed in this Milan.
Till now, we have talked about a lot of things related to Gun Milan. Now we will try to give you some
information about Bhakoot Milan which is an important part of the process. You have to remember that
this Milan should not be ignored while matching Kundalis. This is an extremely important Milan.
If you take a look at some ones Kundali, you can easily make out the distance between the placement of
the Moon in one Kundali from an other. It is auspicious and will provide success in business if the Moon is
in the same houses or if it is 1/7, 3/11 or 4/10 on the axis. There will be a good source of income if the
Moon in the Kundalis is 2/12 on the axis. But, with this placement, one of the person will spend a lot.
If the Moons are 5/9 on the axis, Navpancham Yog is formed. If the Moon in the brides Kundali is in fifth
house from the grooms Moon, then the situation is worse. A groom can be sacrificing. He can sacrifice
material pleasures. If both have the presence of Graha Mairtri, then it can be controlled. If a brides moon
is in ninth house from the grooms Moon, then the bride can sacrifice material pleasures.
It is even worse if the Moons are 6/8 on the axis. There is one problem or an other in marital life. A person
also faces financial problems. There may even be sudden accidents. Direct and indirect enemies can also
create problems. In this Shadashtak Yog, the Lords of the Moon signs of the bride and the groom are also
enemies to each other. This can increase the problems.
It is better to take care of such matters before the marriage, as we know that precaution is better than
cure.

What is Nadi Dosha?

Nadis are categorized in the Kundalis of the bride and the groom on the basis of birth Nakshatras. The
twenty seven Nakshatras are divided into three categories. Aadi, Madhya and Antya are collectively
known as Nadi Milan or Nadi Dosh. In case, the bride and the groom have the same Nadi, it is a Dosh.
Nadi Milan is the last part of the process of matching Kundalis. This is also considered to be an important
Milan. Eight points have been given to this Milan. This Milan is done on the basis of the birth Nakshatras
of the bride and the groom. Many different views explaining the importance of this Milan have been given
in the Shastras. According to some, this Milan is considered to be important for the birth of a child.
According to others, it is believed that if the bride and the groom belong to the same Nadi, the child may
receive parents health problems.
Nadi should not be same for the bride and the groom. If Nadi is same and the Nakshatras are different,
marriage can take place. For example : If the bride and the groom are born in Gemini sign, they belong to
Aadi Nadi. But, since one will belong to Ardra Nakshatra and the other will belong to Punarvasu
Nakshatra, there will be no Nadi Dosh. Some also believe that if the stages in a Nakshatra are different
even if the Nakshatra is same for both bride and the groom, there is no Nadi Dosh.
If a grooms Nakshatra is next to a brides Nakshatra, it is known as Nridur Dosh. This is inauspicious.
