Kundali Matching: 36 Gun Matching and It’s Importance

Ashtakoot Milan is done in the Kundali of the bride and groom to find out a happy married life. In this, the Gunas are matched on eight different aspects, the total of which is 36 Gunas. These are as follows:

Varna (1 Guna) – Social and intellectual compatibility
Vasya (2 Gunas) – Influence on each other
Tara (3 Gunas) – Health and prosperity
Yoni (4 Gunas) – Physical and mental compatibility
Graha Maitri (5 Gunas) – Mutual understanding
Gana (6 Gunas) – Nature matching
Bhakut (7 Gunas) – Economic status and child happiness
Nadi (8 Gunas) – Genetic and health factors

For marriage, matching of at least 18 Gunas out of total 36 Gunas is considered necessary.

If less than 18 Gunas are matched, then the marriage is not considered auspicious.

If 18-24 Gunas are matched, then the marriage is generally considered good.

If 24-32 Gunas are matched, then it is considered a good marriage.

If 32-36 Gunas are matched, then it is called the best marriage.

If Nadi Dosha and Bhakoot Dosha are found in 36 Gun Match, then it can affect children and financial condition. In astrology, it is considered particularly inauspicious.

If the Gunas are less compatible and Nadi Dosha, Bhakoot Dosha or Gan Dosha is present, then according to astrology, the following problems can arise in marriage:

• Ideological differences and quarrels will persist
• There will be problems in conceiving children
• Health problems will persist
• Financial crisis and misfortune will persist
• Untimely breakdown of marriage can also happen

However, it is also true that there are many couples who have lived a happy married life despite poor Gun Milan.

In today’s time, instead of Kundli matching, some other aspects are being given more importance, such as:

Health and Medical Tests:

In today’s time, medical tests like genetic disorders, mental health, and fertility tests have become more important than Guna Milan because the bride and groom believe and doctors also believe that if there is a possibility of genetic diseases in both, then it can affect the health of the child.

Financial Status and Bank Statement Matching:

In today’s time, where not only boys but also girls are working outside the house, marriage depends not only on mental and physical compatibility but also on financial stability. Nowadays, it has become more important to look at income, spending habits, investment and loan status.

Social and Professional Compatibility:

Nowadays both husband and wife are employed, so it has become necessary to coordinate career goals, lifestyle, and job location.

Though some families still consider 36 Guna Milan mandatory, it is losing relevance in urban families these days. People are giving more importance to ideology, lifestyle and mutual understanding. There are many other reasons due to which the tradition of 36 Guna Milan is declining such as;

• Due to the increasing influence of love marriages in today’s time, the groom and bride give less importance to Guna Milan.
• Nowadays education and career have become more important due to which Guna Milan is being ignored.
• Medical and financial compatibility is now more important than horoscope.

Do you think 36 Gun Milan is still as important today, or should medical and financial compatibility be given more priority? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
