Introduction: What is Nadi Dosha?
In Vedic astrology, gravest marriage dosha; occurs when groom/bride share same Nadi (Adi/Madhya/Antya) based on birth nakshatra.
"Nadi" means pulse/energy flow (Vata/Pitta/Kapha). Same Nadi = identical constitutions, causing incompatibility, no attraction, progeny issues.
Ignore leads to strife/divorce/untimely death/progeny loss. Maharishi Vashishtha warns of disasters.
3 Nadi Types and Importance
1. Adi Nadi (Vata/Pingla—Air): Upward energy; energetic/active/impulsive/leaders. 9 nakshatras (Ashwini etc.).
Same Adi: Conflicts/divorce (2 leaders).
2. Madhya Nadi (Agni/Brahma—Fire): Bidirectional; balanced/intelligent/emotional.
Same Madhya: Sudden death/health crises (mutual destruction)—most dangerous.
3. Antya Nadi (Kapha/Ida—Water): Downward/steady; calm/thoughtful/artistic/introverted.
Same Antya: Loveless marriage/emotional distance/weak progeny.
Formation in Matching
Nakshatra determines Nadi (27 nakshatras/3 Nadis, 9 each). Same Nadi = 0/8 gunas (vs 8/8 different).
E.g., Both Kritika (Adi)—dosha. Critical in 36-guna system.
Negative Effects: Marriage/Health
Marital: Discord/no attraction/divorce (Adi); death-like suffering (Madhya); lifelong misery (Antya).
Progeny: Infertility/miscarriages/unhealthy/weak/mental issues/genetic disorders.
Health: Chronic diseases/accidents/BP/diabetes/digestion.
Finance/Social: Losses/strife/job instability.
Mental: Stress/depression/suicide risk.
