Srik - Mala Yoga Calculator
What is Mala (Srik) Yoga?
Mala Yoga (also called Maalaa or Srik, "the garland") forms when three or more natural benefics occupy the Kendras — the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. Like flowers strung into a garland, the benefics ring the strongest houses of the chart, wrapping the life in a continuous band of support and comfort.
The yoga is said to give continuous comforts, happiness, many pleasures and a generous, well-supported life. Such a person tends to enjoy an easy, pleasant flow of good things — comfortable surroundings, agreeable relationships and social goodwill — and to give as freely as they receive, so that life feels adorned rather than a struggle. Comfort tends to arrive without the constant striving many other charts demand, and social goodwill smooths the path further.
Its strength depends on how many benefics are involved and how well placed they are: dignified benefics in the angles give the fullest, most lasting ease, while afflicted ones lighten the effect. Because the Kendras are active throughout life, the comforts tend to be steady rather than confined to one phase, coming forward during the Dasha periods of the benefics concerned. Read Mala within the overall chart — including any malefic pressure on the angles — and enter your exact birth details for accurate house placements.
