Part 4 - Yoni Kuta (Goon Milan)


 In Ashtakuta (Goon Milan) Yoni Kuta is the 4th Kuta after Varna, Vashya and Tara Chakra. The word Yoni indicates that this factor (Kuta) considers the compatibility of the genitals and the reproductive organs with the intention of physical pleasure and happiness for the couple. As reproduction is connected with physical pleasure and in comparison to other living beings, humans have considered extra importance to this topic in their life.


In my view the society focuses only on matching the two individuals based on mental, intellectual and
social compatibility, which is not enough to determine successful marriage. Our society needs to place
more emphasis on physical computability in the new age and consider the compatibility score as important. Hindu marriage matching system does consider this factor since thousand years in the Goon
Milan padhati, which was meant to make the marriage a successful bond between two individuals.


The Yoni Kuta points are tabulated in an easy way to understand. Each of the 27 Nakshatras are represented by an animal. 14 animals represent the 27 Nakshatras. Using the animals symbolically, helps
us understand the compatibility by suggesting which animals can be enemies or friends, dominant or
submissive. With this symbolism, the Yoni Kuta helps determine how the two individuals may behave as
a couple. The points system helps to define the physical compatibility of the couple and may provide insights to the success of married life of the couple.


Out of the 36 points of Ashtakuta, Yoni Kuta contributes a maximum of 4 points. If the animal symbol of
the Bride and groom are the same then the match score will be the highest of 4 points. If the animal symbols of both are friends then the match score will be of 3 points. If the animal symbols are neutral to each other than the couple will have a match score of 2 points in this section. But if the animal symbols are enemies of each other than the couple will have a match score of 1 point only and in case of the symbols being arch enemies, the match score will be zero for the couple.


For example, if the birth Nakshatra of the Groom indicates the animal symbol as Mongoose and the Bride’s animal symbol is also Mongoose then the match score will be 4. If the Bride’s animal symbol is Goat or Monkey then the match score will be 3. In the case of an Elephant or a Horse as a Bride’s animal symbol then the match score will be 2. But if Bride’s animal symbol is Dog then the match score will be 1 and if then Bride’s animal symbol is Serpent (Snake) then the match score will be the lowest at zero.


What if Yoni Kuta do not match? This is an often asked question. Answer is very simple, if you do not get
the happiness or pleasure for which you are getting married, how successful that marriage will be? This
incompatibility is associated with bad results related to physical compatibility between partners. In
extreme cases, such incompatibility may lead to arguments, separation or divorce.


Nowadays, we see that individuals do not compromise physical compatibility, hence the survival of the
married life is but a question mark.


The table below shows how the match scores are determined for the Yoni kuta.
