Book excerpt: This book deals with the fundamentals of Horoscope matching. Today "Horoscope matching" has become the indispensable part of Hindu marriage. But it has not been mentioned in any old Jataka scripture of Astrology. However, it has been described in the Muhurta scriptures of the same. In Ramayan, marriage of Rama, Bharata, Lakshmana and Shatrughna has been described elaborately. But, in this great epic also Horoscope matching has not been mentioned. Likewise, in Mahabharata, too, it has not been cited. Therefore, it can be said that Horoscope matching in Astrology was not in practice a few centuries ago. But, the community accepted and made it an indispensable part keeping its usefulness in view. Different systems of Horoscope matching are in practice in different parts of India. In North India, Ashtakuta matching is in practice whereas in South Dasakuta matching is in fashion. But Ashtakuta matching is in vogue in most part of India. This is why the All India Federation of Astrologers’ Societies has accepted and prescribed this system of Ashtakuta matching for the courses of its students. The book has been written keeping in view the courses introduced by the All India Federation of Astrologers’ Societies, Delhi. The students are advised to study “Kundali Milana-Sukhi Dampatya Jeevana Ka Adhar” because prediction of a happy married life cannot be made by Ashtakuta matching only. This shows only the amity, love and mutual understanding between the two. But to determine the age, health and ups and downs in life of the couple some other aspects such as Period-sub-period, Dosha Samya etc. are also essential to be analyzed. An analysis of long conjugal life is essential for its stability. So, apart from Ashtakuta matching, we should keep in view other aspects also. To know all this, “Kundali Milan – Sukhi Dampatya Jeevana Ka Adhara” is prescribed.
