Malika Yoga – Yoga for Comfort

Introduction of Malika Yoga as per Vedic Astrology

Malika Yoga is one of the best astrological yoga regarding comfort & happiness. There are 12 types of Malika Yoga as per Vedic astrology. Each 12 yoga has its own custom significance. All Malika yoga is also known as Mala yoga (Shubha Mala & Ashubha Mala).

Formation of Malika Yoga

When all 7planets except Rahu & Ketu are placed in 7 continuous signs then there are 12 types of Malika yoga are formed which are listed below

1. When all 7 planets from Sun to Saturn placed in 7 continues Bhav or house from Lagna(means 1^st house to 7^th house) then Malika yoga is formed.
2. If all 7 planets placed 7 continuous bhavas from 2^nd house (2^nd to 8^th house) then Dhan Malika Yoga is formed.
3. In the same way, if planets are placed from 3^rd to 9^th house, then Vikram Mala Yoga is formed.
4. When planets are placed 4^th to 10^th house continuously then Bandhu Mala is formed.
5. If all planets are placed 5^th to 11^th house, then Mantri Mala is formed.
6. Similarly, if all 7 planets are placed from 6^th to 12^th house then Indra mala is formed.
7. If all 7 planets from Sun to Saturn are placed between 7^th to 1^st house, then Kaam mala is formed.
8. When all planets are placed from 8^th to 2^nd house then Nidhan Mala is formed.
9. If all planets are placed from 9^th to 3^rd house, then Shubha Mala is formed.
10. In similar ways, if planets are placed from 10^th to 4^th house then Kriti Mala yoga is formed.
11. When all 7 planets are placed from 11^th to 5^th house then Vijay Mala yoga is formed.
12. If all planets are placed from 12^th to 6^th house, then Patan Mala is formed.

Please note that planets must be placed in all 7 signs and no sign will be vacant between those houses. Here we don’t consider Rahu & Ketu. Rahu & Ketu may be placed anywhere in the chart.

For me, it looks like Nabhas Yoga. Because in Nabhas Yoga section we already learnt that if all planets in 7^th continue sign then Veena Yoga (Sankhya Yoga) formed. Malika Yoga is similar to Nauka yoga. Bandhu Mala is similar to Koota yoga. Kaam Mala is similar to Chatra Yoga. Kriti Mala is similar to Chapa or Dhanush Yoga. Remaining Mala yoga is similar to Ardha Chandra yoga. But here we have results with specific details.

One more important thing which makes a difference is the condition of Malika yoga which says “Any of 7 planets not be debilated or combust”. If Malika yoga starts from the 6^th, 8^th and 12^th house is known as Ashubha Mala and the remaining is known as Shubha Mala.
