Compatibility

Guna Matching Explained

Vedic compatibility assigns 36 points across eight qualities (gunas). The higher the score, the smoother the energetic flow, but remedies and conscious effort can harmonize any union.

Timeless

Ancient Wisdom

Drawn from Rig Veda hymns and classical jyotish texts, guna matching views relationships as sacred journeys.

Holistic

Mind, Body, Soul

The eight gunas evaluate emotional bonding, mental match, physical chemistry, and spiritual goals.

Supportive

Guidance, Not Judgment

Scores highlight focus areas. Remedies, coaching, and mutual respect still determine the real outcome.
