Namaste. Today I want to speak from the heart, as one elder to another, or perhaps as a father to a child. In every Indian family, especially in recent years, we keep hearing the same painful concern — “My son or daughter is still not married.”
And not for lack of effort. In fact, these are good boys and girls — well-educated, from respected families, earning well, polite and responsible. Still, somehow, the right match is not coming. Or the match comes, but something breaks. Time keeps passing. Parents start worrying. The child begins to feel something is wrong with them.
People will start giving advice — “maybe the girl should lose some weight,” “maybe the boy is too quiet,” “maybe your expectations are too high,” or “maybe you are too old now.”
But what if the real reason is not social at all?
What if this delay has nothing to do with your looks, salary, or personality?
What if it has to do with something unseen — something deeper — like karma?
Beyond the Surface: Looking Through the Spiritual Lens
In our Indian tradition, especially in Sanatana Dharma, marriage is not just a worldly event. It is a spiritual bond, a connection of souls. And like everything in life, the timing and success of marriage is connected to one’s karmas and planetary influences.
Our rishis, through great tapasya, discovered that certain energies — called grahas (planets) — influence different areas of life. For example:
- Mangal (Mars), if wrongly placed, can cause delays, anger, fights, and Manglik dosha
- Shani (Saturn), when strong, may bring emotional blocks or fear of commitment
- Rahu or Ketu, the shadow planets, can cause confusion, detachment, or sudden breakups
- Past life karmas — broken engagements, broken promises, or harm done in previous marriages — can also come back in this life
Our scriptures clearly say that what is not solved in karma must be solved in dharma. That means, if a problem is karmic, it cannot be fixed by logic or argument. It can only be healed through remedies, prayer, and spiritual correction.
But Today, We Are Ignoring These Truths
In olden times, when someone’s marriage got delayed, the elders would take them to a temple, perform a parihara puja, or offer Swayamvara Parvati homa for Devi’s blessings. But now, we are depending only on digital apps, biodata, and matchmaking websites.
These things are useful — but they cannot heal unseen karmic blocks. That’s like trying to clean a wound with perfume. The smell may go, but the wound remains.
Let Me Share a Real Story
There is a boy in our extended family, highly qualified, working in Singapore, very soft-spoken. From age 27 to 35, he and his family tried everything. Proposals would come, but get rejected without reason. Or things would go forward, then suddenly break.
One elderly priest saw his horoscope and said, “There is a mild Mangal dosha and also a karmic issue from a past life — he had broken a marriage promise. This is causing delay.”
They performed Manglik Dosh Nivaran Puja and Navagraha Shanti homa with sincere sankalpa through JyotirGamaya, a dharmic seva platform. Within 3 months, a match came through a temple connection. The boy is now happily married.
Same boy. Same world. But the energy had changed.
So What Can You Do If You Are Facing Marriage Delay?
First, don’t blame yourself. And don’t blame your child. Sometimes the delay is meant for something deeper to be healed.
Here are a few Vedic solutions that have helped many people:
1. Swayamvara Parvati Homa
This is one of the most powerful homas for unmarried girls and boys. It is based on the story of Maa Parvati, who performed deep tapasya to get Bhagwan Shiva as her husband. Her blessings are said to remove blocks and bring divinely matched partners. Especially effective for girls over 28 who are facing repeated rejections or heartache.
2. Manglik Dosh Nivaran Puja
For people with Mangal Dosha, which causes marriage delays, emotional fights, and even divorce if not addressed. This puja calms Mars and brings harmony and readiness for marriage.
3. Navagraha Shanti Homa
If the horoscope shows multiple graha issues (Rahu, Shani, Ketu), this homa brings balance and peace from planetary disturbance.
4. Uma Maheshwara Homa
Sometimes marriage happens, but peace does not. Fights, misunderstandings, cold silence — this homa brings Shiva-Parvati’s energy to restore love and harmony between husband and wife.
5. Personalised Dosha Nivaran Sevas
Based on your own chart, you can consult a Vedic astrologer and do the right puja. JyotirGamaya offers such personalised pujas with full sankalpa and Vedic procedure.

Why Choose a Dharmic Path Like JyotirGamaya?
Today, many people want to do puja but don’t know where to go. Some priests just take money but do a quick puja without devotion. JyotirGamaya is different.
- Their priests are trained in Vedic vidhi
- Pujas are done in temples or sacred homa sthalas
- You get full photos, videos, and puja reports
- Your name and gotra are used in sankalpa
- Even NRIs can book and benefit from these pujas
This is not business. This is pure seva, done with bhakti.
Final Thoughts from an Elder
If you or your child are facing long delay in marriage, or repeated disappointments, please consider that it may not be a worldly issue. Maybe the soul is waiting to complete some karma, and Devi is waiting for you to take the first spiritual step.
Try the Vedic path. Do the puja. Say the mantra. Light the diya. Then leave the rest to Narayana and Devi. They know your pain. They will show the way — not by force, but by grace.
I have seen it. And I believe you will too.
