Manglik dosha has emerged as one of the major concerns in the life of people today. Research has revealed that out of all the astrological topics written about, best books on astrology write mostly about manglik dosha effects. A person is said to be manglik when the planet Mars resides in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth and twelfth house in his/her horoscope. Manglik dosha is also known by other names-Kuja Dosha and Bhom Dosha.
Planets have the power to control the personality of an individual and as a result of the manglik dosha effects, a person becomes very short tempered. Many best books on astrology state that a manglik person usually faces problems in adjusting and settling down with partners. This problem in adjustment is the reason as to why it is recommended that a matrimonial match between two manglik people is preferably successful because the manglik dosha is nullified when sacred matrimony occurs between two manglik people.
Manglik dosha effects depend upon the positioning of Mars in a specific house. When Mars is present in the first house, it affects the married life leading to tension and depression. In the second house, Mars affects the professional and family life. Mars in the fourth house affects the financial condition and causes problems in the stability. In the seventh house, Mars makes a person short tempered and dominating. A person with Mars in the eighth house makes a person lazy and causes loss of paternal property. When Mars is present in the twelfth house, a person has lots of enemies, and also becomes prone to mental illness and also faces financial losses.
Best books on astrology also provide many solutions to nullify the effects of mangal dosha. Professional and expert astrologers recommend chanting of mantras, wearing gemstones, observing fasts to calm Mars, visiting Hanuman temple and kumbh vivah as the best ways of reducing the effects of mangal dosha to the least.
