Paying obeisance to Lord Mars---a form of Shree Vishnu, I am

writing this much sensitive topic, viz. Kuja Dosha i.e. a “Dosha” or
“an ominous combination caused by the Mars”. There other
names also as Bhauma Dosha (Mangal or Mars also known as
Bhauma as he is the son of “Bhumi” that is earth), & finally
Mangal Dosha. Wrongly, it is also termed as “Manglik” as in this
case Mangal is not meant to be the planet, but it relates to what
is supposed to be Good or auspicious.
It has been seen that around 30% of the people have Kuja Dosha
while 10% of them get it cancelled in their chart itself, but due to
ignorance gets deceived by greedy astrologers.
In this article, I will cite slokas from our classics n examples as
necessary.
What is Kuja Dosha?

----As said before it is an ominous combination caused by Mars...
but it remains vague if not properly explained.
The classic says,
lagne byaye ca pätäle yämitre cäñöame kuje|
kanyä harati bhartäram bhartä bhäryäm haniñyati||
It means that presence of Mars in Lagna, 4th house, 7th house, 12th
house or in 8th house results into Kuja Dosha. If the bride has this
kind of placement of Mars in her chart, then she becomes the
reason for her husband’s death, while if the groom has this kind
of placement, then he becomes the reason for his wife’s death.
Some often includes 2nd house for no reason, others consider it
with respect to other planets, which should not be done &
reasonless.
Remedies?
--- There are remedial measures, but not any kind of wearing
stones or any kind of sacrifice. The same classic says---
evambidhe kuje saðsthe bibäho na kadäcana|
käryo bä guëabähulye kuje bä tädåçe dvayoù||
---In such condition, you should not give marriage (that means if
any one them that means if either bride or groom possesses this
dosha). However, if one having Kuja Dosha with Mangal having
“guna” or good conditions (like exalted Mars, aspected by
benefics, occupying own house or mooltrikona etc) or if both
bride & groom have Kuja Dosha then marriage is permissible.
The point to be noted here is that it deals exclusively with Mangal
Dosha, a part of the match making but not the overall match
making. As we know, Mars in 4th, 7th or in 8th afflicts the marital
life etc. However, exceptions are there according to the placement
etc.
My Comments: - If Mars is exalted, in mooltrikona, in own
house, or in a friendly house & in houses of benefic in divisional
charts, then the “power” Kuja Dosha reduces.
If Mars becomes a Yogkarak for a given lagna (being the lord
either of Kendras or Trikonas) & if aspected (or associated) by
benefic & friendly planets then the Kuja Dosha is reduced.
Cancellation of Dosha?
---Yes, certain combinations have been found to cancel the
Mangal Dosha in the chart itself. Brihat Jyotish Sara gives us the
combination through which we can see cancellation combination
of Kuja Dosha. It reads like this: -
yämitre ca yadä sourirlagne bä hibuke'thabä|
añöame dvädaçe caiva bhoumadoñe na vidyate||
--It means that if Saturn is located in any of the places as Lagna, 4th house,
7th house, 8th house, or 12th house(where the native has already Kuja Dosha
my placement of Mars in the said places & is not in good conditions), then
the Kuja Dosha gets cancelled.
My Comment:-
However, if the same Saturn is posted in the said places, then the
Kuja Dosha is not cancelled, instead the Dosha becomes stronger.
Another verse from another classic (probably from Garga
samhita): -
lagne caturthe ca byayäñöame nage rähüù çanirbäpi yadi sthitaù
syät|
tadä kujo naiva karoti doñam bibähakäle prabadanti gargäù||
--It means that if either Rahu or Saturn is posted in any of the houses, viz.
lagna, fourth house, twelfth house, eigth house or seventh house, (while
Mars in any of the houses of 1/4/12/7/8), then “tadä kujo naiva karoti
doñam”---Mars cannot do any harm after marriage, such says Sage Garga.
My comments: - Same as before. One more thing is that, suppose
the bride is of Tula lagna, with Mars in Lagna, while Rahu/Saturn
is in seventh from Lagna; here Kuja Dosha is cancelled, but the
seventh house is afflicted & no harm will be caused to the native,
which might be termed as due to “Kuja Dosha”.
Illustrations:
Example I:-
In this case, the native got married on 12 March 2000, when

Mars- Rahu was running. The time was appropriate as Mars being
the seventh lord & Rahu being a promoter of marriage & was
posted with Venus in third house. Here, as you can see Mars is
retrograded in seventh house, in own house, thus canceling the
Kuja Dosha. However, the native got divorced after a week of
marriage. Possible reasons can be Rahu with Venus in third house
with an aspect of Saturn. Also in Navamsha, the fourth house is
afflicted by Sun & Mars in seventh house. The name is not
written as the native told me withheld her name.
Example II:
This native was saint of 19th century, had four exalted planets,
was married when he was 24 years old in the year 1960, when his
Saturn Mahadasa & Sun antardasa was running, the time being
perfect as Sun is the seventh lord from Lagna. The native had
exalted mars in 12th from, thus reducing the Dosha while exalted
Rahu in fourth house cancelled the Dosha.
As being a saint, he considered his “wife” to be “Kali” or whom
we know as “Holy Mother”. There was no harm after the
marriage & the native died at the age of 50.
Example III
A close relative of mine got married on 5 December 2004 when

she was in Mercury Mahadasa & Jupiter antardasa (Jupiter being
the 7th lord).
As you can see, that she has Mars in Lagna, which resulted into
Kuja Dosha, but this Dosha is reduced as Mars is in his own
house in Navamsha & Mars in own Nakshatra. However, this
Kuja Dosha is not totally cancelled, for which the native’s spouse
suffer from diseases from time to time.
Example IV
My friend’s sister got married in August 2005, to a wealthy

family, when her Saturn Mahadasa & Jupiter antardasa (see
Jupiter with seventh lord [Saturn] in second house & Jupiter
aspecting Venus) was going on.
As you can see, Mars is located in eighth house, causing Kuja
Dosha. However, it is located in a friend &benefic’s house
reducing the Dosha. Rahu in 12th from Lagna cancelled that total
Dosha.
The Conclusion:-
I have tried my best to conclude about the cause, exceptions, &
results of Kuja Dosha through excerpts from the classics & have
tried my best to illustrate with some examples. As a final note,
Kuja Dosha should always be considered from Lagna & not from
rashi or any other planets. Position of Mars on the said positions
must be seen to check Kuja Dosha & not any other else (but
wrongly, some astrologers include second house in the list).
If this article is lacking in something, then please let me know &
please forgive all shortcomings.
