Acharya Karan V – Mars, known as “Mangal” in Hindi, is one of the “Navgrah” or the nine planets in Hindu or Vedic astrology. As it is of red colour, people know it popularly as “Red Planet” or “Rakht Varn” in Hindi. Mangal is quite a significant planet astrologically as Aries (Mesha) and Scorpio (Vrishchika) are reined over by him. It sits on a high position in Capricorn (Makar) and Virgo (Kanya). In general it is considered to be a planet bringing ill-luck and catastrophes. Also the famous ‘Manglik Dosha’ is very much calculated while doing marriage horoscope match or Vivah Milaan. But as in Vedic Astrology one has to keep in mind that its affects are harmful depending on its position in a specific house. Mangal is a representation of Rashness, Impulsiveness, untamed energy and aggression. An individual under its influence can turn out to be a confident with unbridled ego and energy.

Most common remedies for Mangal Dosha are Kumbha Vivah or Ghata Vivah where marriage ritual is done with the clay pot and then smashing the same on the ground. Also there are rituals of marriage with Peepal or Banana Tree which is cut after the ritual etc. moreover there are certain specific remedies pre-marriage and post marriage for manglik people which can bring peace, prosperity and happiness in their lives – Acharya Karan V

The “Mangal Dosh” is a prominent phenomenon associated with Mangal. People having a “Mangal Dosh” in their horoscopes are known as “Manglik”. Manglik trait is considered adverse for marriages. It’s a prevalent fact in Hindu society that getting married to a Manglik tends to wreak severe disturbances and mishaps in married life, sometimes also ending in untimely death of a partner. However, in some cases, this bad effect of Mangal can be resolved by performing certain rituals like marrying off the manglik partner with a tree. However, one with “Mangal” prominent in his horoscope tends to be determined, self-assured, and helping. As far as astronomical importance of the planet Mars is concerned, it holds lot of significance due to the fact that it’s our neighbouring planet – our primary hope in the eventuality of the Earth turning inhabitable. Considering the same, many space agencies of the world are planning to send manned spaceships to Mars within next 20 years, just to prime the location to make it habitable for humans. The importance of Mars cannot be negated whether one talk in terms of it being one affecting us as one of the “Navgrahs” or one is being a resourceful planet to be looked at in terms of an alternate planet to live.
