Mangal

In Jyotish astrology, Mangala (Devanagari: मंगल, Maṅgala) is the name for Mars, the red planet. Mars is also called Angaraka ('one who is red in colour' also called Rakta varna whose color is like blood or Bhauma ('son of Bhumi') or Bha in Sanskrit. He is the god of war and is celibate. He is considered the son of Prithvi or Bhumi, the Earth Goddess. He is the owner of the Aries and Scorpio signs, and a teacher of the occult sciences (Ruchaka Mahapurusha Yoga).

Mars, Mangal, or the Mangal Graha is the action planet and the planet of desire. Mars, the God of War, devises energy, action, and desire. It is the bringer of survival instinct in individuals and the nurturer of the "leftover" animal instincts that we human beings have saved over centuries; like aggression, anger, and survival. Mangal Graha is also the ruler of our carnal desires and our basic animalistic nature. Mangal bellies the impulse and ensures that people act before they contemplate. The raw, impatient, rash, aggressive and adventurous side of people is driven by the planet, along with our competitive streak.

Astrological Importance:

Astrologically, Mars is connected with Tuesday and is the depicter of energy, motivation, will power, self-confidence and ego. Due to its red color, the planet is considered to be furious and masculine, and is depicted as the planet of action in our horoscope. It is also known to influence conflict, competition and domination. Mangal Graha is also the ruler of passion; hence the diseases related to the same are anorexia, addictions, hypertension (high blood pressure), inflammatory conditions and burns. Praying to Mangal Graha can provide benevolence from these ailments to people.
