Bhakoot Koota is one of the important gan/koota in Ashtakoota Milan during marriage matchmaking. Bhakoot demonstrates how a couple's compassion, devotion, faith, emotions, and contentment are all well balanced. In Hinduism, marriage is highly valued, and astrology plays a significant part in matchmaking. Indians hold a strong religious conviction in the use of Kundli for marriage. There are nine aspects/Gunas (Koota) in Kundli. These eight aspects are Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoota, and Nadi. Depending on their importance or function in determining various areas of a couple's compatibility, these aspects are measured by numeric values.
What is Bhakoot Koota?
Bhakoot guna is the 7th test in Kundali match matching as per Vedic astrology for marriage. Bhakoot Koota evaluates the emotional and psychological bond between the couple, focusing on their overall harmony and balance in life. In addition to assessing money and health, it also assesses whether there is love and harmony in a partnership. Bhakoot Koota has been verified within the Kundali Milan or star matching. The outcome establishes whether or not the two people will lead happy lives. Bhakoot is related to natural love between the couple, as the moon is symbolic of our mind in astrology. If Bhakoot dosha is discovered through matchmaking, then the treatment has to be carried out to lead a happy married life with the spouse.
Types and Effects of Bhakoot Dosha
Bhakoot dosha can be identified if you know about the Chandra or moon rashi of the bride and groom. Due to bhakoot dosha, one partner may depend too much on the other, leading to financial issues, especially if a business fails after a big investment or hard work. There may be difficulties related to having children, which can lead to unsatisfactory physical relationships in the marriage. Couples may face ongoing disagreements and fights, which could lead to legal separation. If Bhakoot dosh appears alongside another serious issue in the horoscope, it could even lead to one partner's death.
There are three types of Bhakoot dosha: Dwirdwadash, Shadashtaka, and Nav Pancham.
Dwirdwadash Dosh: This dosha is ruled out for financial troubles in married life. After marriage, this dosh causes a lot of financial issues. It might also be connected to a loss in business or a career collapse.
Shadashtaka Dosh: This dosh is ruled out for health-related issues between the couple. Incompatibility and serious health issues could result from it. Furthermore, if things get worse, one partner may die or the other may get divorced. This is a worst-case scenario. Do not panic; remedies can be performed, which are mentioned in the end. Nav Pancham Dosh: This dosha is responsible for progeny, pregnancy-related issues, and offspring. Issues like recurrent miscarriages, the birth of a child with defects, or no child at all, are caused by this dosha.
How to Assess Bhakoot Dosha
According to Vedic Astrology, there are 12 Signs, namely Aries (Mesha), Taurus (Vrishabha), Gemini (Mithuna), Cancer (Karka), Leo (Simha), Virgo (Kanya), Libra (Tula), Scorpio (Vrischika), Sagittarius (Dhanu), Capricorn (Makar), Aquarius (Kumbha), and Pisces (Meen), which are considered for Kundli Matching under Bhakoot Koota. The Rashi is matched with the number of signs provided in the prospective Bride and Groom’s kundli
The maximum points to score Bhakoot Koota is 7 points. If the lords of both partners belong to the same sign or Rashi, then 7 points are given to the couple. It is considered the perfect score. A high Bhakoot score may increase marital stability and satisfaction, while a low score may portend future disputes or misunderstandings.
Remedies
The effect of Bhakoot Dosha is not completely removed, but some remedies can be helpful. The remedies must be carried out to have a comfortable married life with the spouse if Bhakoot Dosha is determined throughout the matchmaking process. Let’s read about a few remedies to manage bhakoot dosha:
- If there are no other doshas like Graha Maitri, Gan Dosh, or Nadi Dosh in the horoscopes, the impact of Bhakoot Dosh is reduced already.
- For both bride and groom, get Mahamrityunjaya recited by any pandit and donate a cow.
- Chanting of Mahamrityunjaya Mantra after Shanti Pooja Havan.
- Wear gems based on the horoscope
- Perform the ritual of Bhakoot Nivarana Puja.
- Also, if other gunas are matched well, then Bhakoot dosh can be ignored with some pooja and havana.
