Understanding 36 Guna Milan

Eight Kootas Breakdown

Varna (1 point) — social compatibility. Vashya (2) — mutual control/attraction. Tara (3) — birth star compatibility. Yoni (4) — sexual compatibility. Graha Maitri (5) — friendship of Moon lords. Gana (6) — temperament harmony. Bhakoot (7) — relationship dynamics. Nadi (8) — health/progeny compatibility.

Minimum Required Points

18 points minimum considered acceptable. 18-24 average. 24-32 good. 32+ excellent. But points alone don't determine marriage success — Manglik dosha, Nadi dosha, individual planetary configurations matter equally.

Critical Doshas That Override Points

Nadi dosha — same Nadi (Aadi/Madhya/Antya) creates health/progeny issues despite high points. Bhakoot dosha — 6/8 or 2/12 Moon sign distance creates financial/health issues. Manglik dosha — Mars in 1/2/4/7/8/12 needs separate analysis.
