Marriage is not only about physical relationships but a union of minds to be precise. It is the mental compatibilities of the couples that drive the family paving the way for understanding society and living with a passion. Marriage Matching in Practice is a strenuous effort as there are more than twenty-five types of marital agreements and numerous probabilities that can make or mar an alliance. This book gives in-depth details of the effects of planetary combinations in marriage relations and the compatibilities of ascendants and stars. How marriage matching is predominantly based on a girl’s horoscope, doshas or blemishes that affect the family life is explained in detail with special mention to Mangalik, accidental deaths, Kanniga, Vishakanniga doshas, etc. More stress has been given to the placements of planets in houses of distress, namely 1st, 6th, 10th, 2nd and 8th houses. Saturn’s placement in 5th house, 7th house along with different types of blemishes are explained. The combined effect of couples’ horoscopes and the list given therein is a class of presentation. Conclusion with few hints on Muhurta is fascinating.
This book deciphers the intricacies of the compatibility of zodiac signs, the attraction between people of diverse temperaments and what leads to romantic alliances and conjugal ties.
Marriage is one of the most sacred and pious social events of life in the context of Indian culture. It is solemnized to become a vital bond between the two marrying partners who are mostly two different human souls of opposite sex. It can thus fill one’s life with immense and perpetual joy or it can mean otherwise as well. It has in fact a cosmic relevance for the continuance of the mankind and humanity in the universe. The union of the two persons of opposite sexes makes the beginning or the commissioning of a new family. Marriage is a part of our culture almost since the creation of humanity. It is a socially approved union ship or relationship between two individuals of opposite sex, to call themselves as life partners after marriage. The family grows by the birth of the children, which is a direct manifestation of destiny. So marriage and matters related to it are destined or destiny related as per “Shastra’ s” and Vedic philosophy, which is the crux of the human existence. There is a well-known saying which says that the “Marriages are settled in heaven and celebrated on Earth”.
