Manglik Syndrome (मांगलिक दोष): The deadliest superstition that left thousands of Hindu girls unmarried

मांगलिक दोष: एक सर्वाधिक घातक अंधविश्वास जिसने हज़ारों हिंदू कन्याओं को आजीवन अविवाहित रहने पर मजबूर कर दिया है...

हमारे आपके जैसे आम लोग जब मांगलिक दोष पर आँख मूँद कर विशवास करते है और ऐसे भयभीत हो जाते हैं जैसे कि हम दुनियाँ के सबसे बड़े पापी हों. ऎसी हालत में जिस ज्योतिषी के पास हम जाएंगे वह क्यों नहीं कहेगा कि हमारी सारी परेशानियां और संकट मंगली होने के कारण हैं...

ज्योतिषी के पास कोई चमत्कार या जादू कि छडी नहीं होती है यह जानने के लिए कि आप मांगलिक हैं या नही. उसे आपके जन्म की तारीख, जन्म का समय और जन्म के स्थान की ज़रूरत होती है. फिर वह इस डेटा को पंचांग की टेबल्स से मिलाता है और आपकी जन्मपत्री / कुंडली (बर्थ चार्ट) बनाता है. कुंडली में १२ राशियों के १२ खाने होते हैं जिनमें अलग-अलग गृह समय बीतने के साथ आते-जाते रहते हैं. 
  

जितने समय तक इस कुंडली के घर नंबर १, २, ४, ७ और १२ में मंगल आकर ठहरा रहता है उस दौरान पैदा होने वाले लोगों को मांगलिक या मंगली होने का ठप्पा लगा दिया जाता है. अगर आपके जन्म के समय आपकी कुंडली में मंगल की ऎसी स्थिति रहती है तो आप पर मांगलिक होने का अमानवीय और आधारहीन आरोप लगा दिया जाता है. आप एक प्रकार से बिना किसी कारण के अंधविश्वासी लोगों द्वारा अछूत कारार दे दिए जाते हैं. यह बौद्धिक पिछडेपन की पराकाष्ठा है. 

मांगलिक दोष जैसे अंधविश्वासों के कारण ही हिन्दू आज भी दुनियाँ में सबसे अधिक पिछड़े समाजों में एक माना जाता है. 

आपको अपनी कुण्डली बनवाने के लिए किसी ज्योतिषी के पास जाने की ज़रूरत नहीं है. ऑनलाइन कुंडली कैलकुलेटर में अपनी डेटा एन्टर करिए और अपनी कुंडली खुद ही बनाइए. मगर सावधान कुण्डली में लिखी भविष्यवाणी पर कतई भरोसा नहीं करें और अगर उसमें आपको  मांगलिक दोष बताया जाता है तब भी कतई विशवास नहीं करे. 

इस कुण्डली बनानेवाली साईट का लिंक आपको इस लिए दिया जा रहा है ताकि आपके दिमाग से यह गलतफहमी दूर हो जाय कि पण्डे-पुरोहित कुण्डली बना कर कोई बहुत बड़ा चमत्कार करते हैं. यह सब पहले से ही कैल्कुलेट किया हुआ और तय होता है. बस जन्म की तारीख, समय और स्थान के हिसाब से हर व्यक्ति की विशिष्ठ कुण्डली अपने-आप निकल आती है; चाहे वह आप निकालें या पंडित... दौनों की निकाली हुई कुण्डलियाँ बिलकुल एक सी होती हैं.

कुण्डली पूर्ण रूप से आपके जन्म की तारीख, समय और स्थान पर आधारित होती है. मज़े की बात है कि उसमें आपके किए हुए कर्म, चाहे वह पाप हों या पुण्य, का प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता. जन्म के एक ही डेटा वाले पुण्यात्मा और जघन्य पापी की कुण्डलियां बिलकुल एक सी ही होती हैं. अगर ऐसा है तो कुण्डली को लेकर इतना परेशान होने की क्या ज़रूरत है? इसको तो सिर्फ एक परम्परा का निर्वाह करने मात्र के लिए इस्तेमाल किया जाना चाहिए और बिलकुल भी गंभीरता से नहीं लिया जाना चाहिए. 

ये जो कुंडली बनाई जाती हैं, इनमें १२ राशियों (खानों) में ९ गृहों (प्लैनेट्स) की स्थिति दर्शाई जाती है. कुंडलियों में जो ९ गृह (नव गृह) दर्शाए जाते है वे निम्नलिखित है:  

1. Sun – सूर्य (Surya) 
2. Moon - चन्द्र (Chandra)
3. Mercury - बुध (Budha) 
4. Venus - शुक्र (Śukra) 
5. Mars - मंगल (Maṅgala) 
6. Jupiter - बृहस्पति (Bṛhaspati) 
7. Saturn - शनि (Śani) 
8. Dragons Head – राहू (Rahu) 
9. Dragons Tail-  केतु (Ketu)

विज्ञान के अनुसार हिन्दू कुण्डली में दर्शाए गए गृहों में केवल ५ ही गृह माने जा सकते हैं वे है: Mercury - बुध, Venus - शुक्र, Mars - मंगल, Jupiter – बृहस्पति और Saturn - शनि.  Sun – सूर्य प्लेनेट नहीं तारा (स्टार) है. Moon - चन्द्र भी गृह नहीं उपगृह (natural satellite) है. राहू और केतु २ काल्पनिक अस्तित्व हैं जिनका ज़िक्र धार्मिक कहानियों में किया गया है. राहू और केतु जैसे कोई प्लेनेट या पिण्ड खगोलीय ब्रह्मांड में  मौजूद नहीं हैं.

Manglik Syndrome: Unconvincing Basis of Manglik Tag for Matrimonial Purpose

              Click on the image to enlarge

There are many superstitious beliefs prevailing among Hindus across the world and ‘Manglik Syndrome’ is one of them. I earlier believed that Manglik Syndrome was only rampant among the Hindus living in India. Nevertheless, I recently received a message from a reader from United Kingdom, commenting on my article on the same subject published on this site ‘Discover Life’. The anonymous visitor has expressed anguish over the Manglik Syndrome that is also prevalent among Hindus migrated to other lands like US, UK and Europe. 

Manglik tag is attached to those Hindu boys and girls who are born on a specific date, time and place when planet mars (मंगल) sets in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house / zodiac sign / rashi (राशि) on their birth chart / janma kundli (जन्म कुंडली). Indian astrology claims that the Manglik people are born on inauspicious time and place and are dangerous for themselves and for those to whom they are married to. 

I have suspicions on this theory because the question of being Manglik comes only at the time of marriage of the Manglik person. The so-called Manglik people do not pose dangers to the people in their society, family and relations as long as they remain single. They are only believed to become dangerous once they are married to someone and after becoming spouses. This theory does not appear to be convincing. 

What are the houses / rashies (राशि) where the planets use to set-in?
   
The 12 Houses (राशि) in Indian astrology are the Locations of planets in the Sky / Zodiac. A house is an imaginary slot where the planets are positioned at different times during their journey in the sky (on their orbits across the space....?).  

For calculating the houses (राशि), with respect to a particular point on the earth surface at a particular date and time, the 360 degree sky / Zodiac is equally divided into 12 houses of 30 degrees each across the earth surface (flat and horizontal). 

In the Hindu system of astrology, each house from the 1st house to 12th house is represented by a specific zodiac sign called Raashi (राशि). These 12 zodiac signs, called 12 Raashis (राशि) are considered for making birth charts / janma kundalis (जन्म कुंडली). These houses / raashis (राशि) have seven celestial bodies as their ruling planets (including Sun and Moon). All these 7 celestial bodies viz Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun, Jupiter and Saturn (including Sun and Moon) are called planets in Hindu astrology. 

The 12 houses are calculated / drawn relatively for a particular person born at a particular time and place on earth. Accordingly, for that particular person the relative position of the above 7 planets in each of the 12 houses / rashies (राशि) are also calculated. That is the reason why Date of birth, time of birth, time-zone and place of birth (latitude and longitude of the place of birth) are considered for generating birth charts / janma kundalis (जन्म कुंडली).

The Manglik character of a person is identified from the presence of Mars (मंगल) in one or more of the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th houses / zodiac signs / rashies (राशि). The severity of the Manglik syndrome मंगल दोष is calculated arbitrarily considering the character and nature of that particular house, the planet present at that moment and of course on the number of houses where planet Mars is present simultaneously. 

Brief description of various houses / zodiac signs / rashies (राशि) is furnished as follows:

Superstitions: Can horoscope calculations really give authentic predictions?

© Harish Jharia

I think planets use to form constellations or raashis based on their own natural movements in the space... and create different views (aakritiyan), as they look from this planet earth...

I think they do not adjust and readjust themselves to influence a particular person among thousands of billions of human beings on earth… and write / re-write his / her destiny… based on their karma… from a remote distance of millions of millions miles away…

It is a coincidence that a particular planet makes a typical formation with other planets... Eventually synchronizing with his / her birth-raashis / constellations...

Moreover, we do not know... How all these celestial bodies synchronize with his / her karmas (deeds)...? That he / she individually does on the earth…!

We should fight back against the adversities of life, in practical ways in order to achieve success, rather than waiting for the ‘griha-dashaa’ to change in our favor

It is definitely possible for us to make ways, define our destiny for a successful life by doing good deeds (karma), and strive hard… leaving no stone unturned… and struggling on the hard and harsh surface of realistic world…

Mangalik daughters' wedding... What is the problem?

© Harish Jharia

I am not an astrologer… nevertheless; I am not convinced with the theory of being a ‘Mangalik’…

I don’t know whether your daughter is Mangalik or not, yet, I strongly believe that nothing bad is going to happen with her if you solemnize her marriage with a thoroughly scrutinized groom… in respect of his family background, character, emotional status, education, job, income etc…

The potential couple will lead a healthy, happy, prosperous and well-to-do prolonged life… if the groom is compatible to your daughter in most of their characteristics…

Please do not refuse an alliance if any party comes forward with an offer without taking ‘Mangalik part’ in consideration…

You might be aware of many couples who live horrendous lives… in spite of having married… with all the precautions in respect of the Manglik regime…

Please be careful about your daughter’s future… and do not be carried-away by superstitions...
