Can Hanuman Chalisa Remove Manglik Dosha? Know What Astrology Says

In astrology, when the planet Mars (Mangal) is positioned in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a person’s horoscope, it is considered Mangal Dosha. This dosha is caused by the fiery planet Mars, whose presiding deity is Mangal Dev, the son of Earth. But can reciting the Hanuman Chalisa help reduce the effects of Mangal Dosha? Let’s understand this in detail.

What Is Mangal Dosha?

Mangal Dosha, also known as Kuja Dosha, occurs when Mars occupies one of the five sensitive houses in the kundali. Astrologers classify Mangal into three types:

• Saumya Mangal (Mild) – Harmless, no negative effects
• Madhyam Mangal (Moderate) – Its effects usually fade after age 28
• Kadak Mangal (Severe) – Requires remedies and proper horoscope matching before marriage

Effects of Mangal Dosha

A person with severe Mangal Dosha often exhibits traits influenced by Mars:

Mars in the 1st house – Makes the person aggressive, bold, and impulsive

Mars in the 4th house – Creates anger, frustration, stubbornness

Mars in the 7th house – Negatively affects marriage and relationships

Mars in the 8th house – Generates arrogance and strong-headed behaviour

Mars in the 12th house – Causes conflicts, restlessness, and foolish decisions

However, these results can vary depending on the strength and aspects of other planets. A strong or “noble” Mars gives positive qualities, while a “malefic” Mars amplifies difficulties.

Deities Associated with Mars

Tuesday is dedicated to both Lord Hanuman and Mangal Dev. Though Mars is ruled by Mangal Dev, remedies are often performed in temples like Mangalnath in Ujjain, where Mangal Dev is worshipped in a Shiva form.

Should People with Mangal Dosha Recite Hanuman Chalisa?

Absolutely yes. Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa daily is highly recommended for those with Mangal Dosha.

Because Mars can create anger, stubbornness, ego, conflict, and impulsive behaviour, chanting the Hanuman Chalisa helps calm the mind and transform the personality. It instills discipline, humility, patience, wisdom, and inner strength.

It is believed that Hanuman himself protects those who recite the Chalisa, removing obstacles, fears, and negative influences. Therefore, Mangal Dosha individuals are strongly advised to chant it regularly. 

What Lal Kitab Says About Mangal Dosha

According to Lal Kitab, a noble (positive) Mars is linked to Lord Hanuman, while a negative Mars is associated with Veerbhadra (a fierce form connected to Lord Shiva). In some traditions, malefic Mars is also linked to spirits or negative energies.

Mangal Dev is known as Bhumi Putra (Son of Earth), and worshipping him brings relief from Mars-related issues. However, Lal Kitab emphasizes that worshipping Lord Hanuman can turn any form of Mars into a benefic one, ensuring positive results.

People with Mangal Dosha often struggle with anger and clouded judgment. Hanuman worship removes these defects, enabling clarity, peace, and balanced thoughts.
