Behavioural traits by Gana
What are the characteristics by Gana of Deva Gana, Manushya Gana, and Rakshasa Gana as per astrology?
Dev Gana: People with Dev Gana are the most kindhearted and compassionate. They possess the qualities like love, sympathy, empathy and carries a helping nature towards others
Manav Gana: The Manushya Gana people are aware of self-interest. And they show the qualities like Ambitiousness, farsightedness and courage. They are the social people.
Rakshasa Gana: The Rakshasha Gana people are cunning and shrewd. They may cause harm to others for self-gain. But it is not true that they will always cause harm for the self gain. This also translates that the Rakshasa Gana people cannot be easily deceived.

Gana Matching: How to check your kundli for a Gana match?
Now that we know about three types of Gana. Let's understand how Gana matching affects marriage compatibility and how to check for Gana compatibility.
Rules for Gana matching in marriage matching
1. When a bride and groom have the same birth nakshatra, they are said to have an excellent Gana compatibility.
2. When the groom's moon occupies a Deva Gana Nakshatra and the bride's moon occupies a Manav Gana Nakshatra, there is a good Gana compatibility.
3. When the bride's moon occupies a Deva Gana Nakshatra and the groom's moon occupies a Manav Gana Nakshatra, the Gana compatibility is average.
4. There is a complete incompatibility in Gana matching in the following cases.
When a boy has a Rakshasha Gana Nakshatra and a girl has a Manushya Gana Nakshatra.
When a boy has a Manushya Gana Nakshatra and a girl has a Rakshasha Gana Nakshatra.
When a boy has a Dev Gana Nakshatra and a girl has a Rakshasha Gana Nakshatra.
When a boy has a Rakshasha Gana Nakshatra and a girl has a Dev Gana Nakshatra.
Gana matching in a nutshell: When we analyse all the rules given above. It is clear that a marriage match when the bride and groom have the same Gana gives excellent results. The Deva Gana and Manav Gana are fairly compatible with each other and give good marriage compatibility. The Rakshasha Gana only goes well with other Rakshasha Gana. So there will be no Gana compatibility of Rakshasha Gana with any other Gana.
What is Gana Dosha?
Gana Dosha is one of the married life incompatibility that occurs when there is no satisfactory Gana matching between a couple. When a bride and groom have incompatible Ganas, a Gana dosha is said to be present in their kundli matching result.
From the point of view of Guna Milan, a Gana is present if a couple scores 0 point in Gana compatibility analysis. To check about Gana dosha couple can check for kundli matching score.
Impact of Gana matching results on Married life
As we discussed at the beginning of the article, the Gana matching rules the behavioural aspect of the relationship. The Porutham or Koota like Gana Porutham are one of those which are the conditioner of the relationship.
A good Gana match has a natural tendency to make a bride and groom mutual friends. In the same way, an incompatible Gana match can cause those occasional but frequent inner disagreements. We, in a relationship, are going to interact each day. And these small mutual expressions can have long term effects, good or bad. Therefore, we called it a conditioner of the relationship.
For a married couple or those in a serious relationship, it is very important that their behaviour to results in small and little enhancing factors. These small additions each day adds up to the sum total of the relationship and can develop a long-term comfort for a couple in the form of understanding. But when Gana is not matched properly the behavioural aspect are not pleasing. This does not affect if other aspects of marriage compatibility like yoni matching, Bhakoot matching, Tara matching, Navamsa analysis etc are in check and have good results. An astrologer or anyone else therefore should have a wholesome approach in matchmaking and all the analysis should be backed by strong fundamentals of Vedic astrology.
