Nadi Dosh In Kundli: In Hinduism, before marriage, the birth charts (kundli) of the bride and groom are matched to know the fate of the marriage. That is why, 36 gunas (Ashtakoota) are matched to know the compatibility. Out of these 36 gunas, 8 are regarded as the Nadi guna, which is given the highest weightage and importance.
It is said that for a happy marriage, the Nadi of the prospective bride and groom should be different; otherwise, Nadi dosh is found in their horoscope. This dosh is believed to cause problems in marriage.
Nadi Dosh In Kundli: Can It Really Cause Problems In Marriage?
According to Vedic astrology, Nadi is believed to represent the vital life force or energy channel that represents the physical constitution, emotional energy and prana. If two individuals who are about to marry each have the same Nadi, then it is believed:
- Constant conflict or misunderstandings in their married life.
- Health complications for one of the partners.
- May find it difficult to conceive, or their offspring will suffer from mental or physical health issues.
The 3 Types of Nadi: Adi, Madhya, and Antya
According to Vedic astrology, there are three types of Nadi:
1. Adi Nadi is linked with Vata or the air element.
2. Madhya Nadi is associated with Pitta or the fire element.
3. Antya Nadi is connected with Kapha or the water element.
If the bride and groom belong to different nadi, then they complement each other and can marry. However, if the Nadi's match they it results in Nadi Dosh (Nadi mismatch).
