This Dosh is usually said to delay th e marriage of the affected person and create disturbances even after marriage or in the worst cases it may cause the death of the spouse. And it is advised by s ome astrologers that a person having a Manglik Dosh in his or her horoscope shou ld only marry a person who also has Manglik Dosh in his or her horoscope. Accord ing to these astrologers, the bad effects of Manglik Dosh present in a horoscope are reduced or even canceled if the person marrying the first person is also ha ving Manglik Dosh in his or her horoscope. As we now know the basic definition o f Manglik Dosh, so lets analyze it further. And for the convenience of foreign re aders I would like to mention that any person suffering from Manglik Dosh is cal led a Manglik. So when someone says Im a Manglik, it simply means that they have Ma nglik Dosh in their horoscope or at least theyve been told so. Now lets move furth er. If Manglik Dosh is formed in a way which has been described above, then it is qu ite evident that 50% of the people should be suffering from the bad effects of t his Dosh as the primary condition for the formation of this Dosh is the placemen t of Mars in the above mentioned six houses of a horoscope counting from the Asc endant. And as there are only 12 houses in a horoscope, so there is a fair chanc e that every second person in this world should be having Manglik Dosh in his or her horoscope. And accordingly he or she should suffer from the bad effects of this Dosh which may be as bad as the death of the spouse.Doesnt that sound odd. A nd if it sounds odd to you, then let me tell you that it sounds odd to me also. I mean how can every second person on the earth can have a Manglik Dosh and if w e move one step further, lets assume that randomly 50% of the people having Mangl ik Dosh in their horoscope are married to a person having Manglik Dosh in their horoscope and 50% of the people having Manglik Dosh in their horoscope are marri ed to a person not having a Manglik Dosh in their horoscope. After doing the calculations it can be found that out of all the matches made in the world, 25% couples are a Manglik-Manglik couple, 50% of the couples are a M anglik-NonManglik couple and the rest of the 25% couples are a NonManglik-NonMan glik couple. This would mean that the marriage of every second person on the ear th is delayed and disturbed even to the point where the partner may die. And we are only talking about one concept named Mangllik Dosh. And there are other very powerful concepts like Kaal Sarp Dosh which can do far more damage than Manglik Dosh if it is strong. And taking into consideration all the other possible Bad aspects and Bad Yogas formed in an average horoscope, we can reach an estimate t hat 75% of the people on this earth are having great difficulties in getting mar ried, their married life is very much disturbed and in the worst case their part ner may die. Isnt this figure a bit too big too be true. Well, according to me, i t is. So lets further analyze the actual scope of Manglik Dosh. The placement of Mars in the above mentioned houses is not the sole criteria for predicting a Manglik Dosh in someones horoscope. Mars placed in any of the above mentioned house can do a number of things to the native. It can actually form a Manglik Dosh, it can remain silent and do nothing and then on the contrary it c an form a Manglik Yoga. Now what is this Manglik Yoga. This is just the opposite of Manglik Dosh, and if Mars placed in the above mentioned houses in a horoscop e is giving its beneficial results, then Manglik Yoga is formed instead of Mangl ik Dosh. The results of a Manglik Yoga are exactly the opposite of a Manglik Dos h and would include timely marriage and happiness in married life among other th ings. Ive personally seen many cases in which a Manglik Yoga is formed in the hor oscope and accordingly the persons have been blessed with all the good results o f this Yoga. So it is very important to check first whether there is a Manglik D osh, a Manglik Yoga or Mars is just placed in the above mentioned houses in a ho roscope and is not concerned at all with the marriage or married life of the per son. And even if the presence of a Manglik Dosh is confirmed in a horoscope, th e strength and timing of impact for this Dosh is also to be considered before pr edicting the results of this Dosh. A Manglik Dosh with a strength more than 50-60% found in a horoscope, can do pot ential damages regarding the marriage or married life of the person having this Dosh. I would like to mention here again that I have personally witnessed cases of strong Manglik Dosh and the quantum of damages done was very high including d ivorces, deaths of the spouses and facing of trials being accused for the murder of spouses. But such strong cases of Manglik Dosh are a rare phenomenon and onl y a few people have such a strong Manglik Dosh. So next time youre afraid of some amateur astrologer telling you that you have a Manglik Dosh in your horoscope, dont bother too much and have the opinion of someone who is an expert in the fiel d. It can very well be nothing at all or the Manglik Yoga itself which is the ul timate bliss a person can have regarding his or her marriage or married life. The bad effects of Manglik Dosh can be reduced with the help of astrological rem edies which would generally include the application of Pooja, Yantras, Mantras, Gemstones and Charities and these remedies are different for different individua ls depending upon their horoscopes.
