Kaal Sarp Dosh – important understanding

The word, Kaal Sarp Dosh, itself creates a fear of a danger. Somehow I have seen in my years of long practice, that Kaal-Sarp dosh in most of cases is either neglected by the people or exaggerated. Rahu and Ketu are always 180 degree or 7 houses apart in the horoscope, both are malefic planets and forms various types of doshas or defects in the horoscope like Angarak Yoga, Guru Chandal Yoga, Grahan Yoga, Pitra Dosh and Kaal-sarp is the worst kind of yoga that they make. It is one of important yoga that denotes sanchit karma from previous birth.

What is Kaal Sarp Dosha – Kaal means death and Sarp means snake. This is a dosh or problem in the horoscope when Rahu and Ketu has none of remaining planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) falling in between them. Ketu is known as tail of snake or dragon and Rahu is considered as its big mouth in astrology. When there is no planets between Rahu & Ketu, that signifies symbolically in astrology that all planets are caught between Rahu & ketu and so are inside Rahu’s mouth, and they will not be able to give their full results, which normally says the native will not be able to realize or get rewarded for what he is worth of. For example, if Rahu is placed in the 3rd house of a horoscope while Ketu is placed in 9th house of the horoscope and the remaining seven Navagraha planets are placed between house number 9 to house number 3, then it can be said that this horoscope has Kaal Sarp dosh.

Effect : Kaal-sarp dosh affects a person till 47 years of his or her life in most of cases, and in some even throughout life.

Signs :

  • When a person is afflicted by Kaal sarpa Dosh in the natal chart, then they often see the dead ancestors or recently died friends or relatives in their dreams.
  • Ketu is always 180 degrees from the longitude of Rahu and its malefic effects are also lesser than Rahu.
  • They would often see snake in dreams and normally wouldn’t like to see snakes in real life, fear from snake bites.
  • They have to struggle in life and feel lonely in the time of their need due to this dosha present in their chart.
  • They may also suffer from aero acrophobia (The fear of high place or of lonely places).
  • On the brighter side, such people are hard working, industrious.
  • They are confident, aware of own ability even with mental restlessness.
  • As per vedic astrology, people under the influence of the Kaal Sarpa dosh are devoted to their family and the society. They are not greedy or self-centered and are sociable, nurturing, and altruistic in nature.
  • People with kaal-sarp doshas are betrayed by trusted friends and even relatives. Then later they rise in spirituality.
  • Kaal-sarp dosha doesn’t let the person realize its full potential or get rewards as per their worth.
  • Its just like a game you might have played during childhood, snakes & ladder, where you rise to the top but a snakes bites you at the top and you fall down to bottom. Similarly kaal-sarp dosh does harm to wealth and many pleasures of life.
  • It causes severe hardship when related with Sun and Saturn or the lords of the houses occupied by Sun, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.
  • The impact will be clearly noticed during Dasha and Antardasha of Rahu and Ketu.
  • General ill effects of kaal sarp dosha are – hurdle in evry important task, lack of mental peace, sudden loss of wealth, sudden loss of health, loss of job after reaching to high level, delay in career start, unwanted stress, laziness, less satisfaction from marital life etc.

When Kaal-sarp dosh is reduced or nullified :

There are some situation though when these ill-effects of Kaal-sarp dosh is reduce or even nullified to a greater extent.

  • the evil effects get almost neutralized if the lagna falls between Rahu and Ketu. While if the lagna falls between Ketu & Rahu then the same evil gets magnified.
  • The effects of this dosha gets reduced if the Planets associated with Rahu & ketu are exalted or placed in their own sign.
  • If the Kaal-sarp dosh is only in lagna and not in Navamsa chart then the effects would be largely reduced after 28years of age or after marriage. On the contrary if the dosh is in Navamsa and not in lagna chart, then this dosha will be less in initial part of life and after 28yearrs of age or after marriage its ill effects would be intensified.

Remedies :

The Kaal Sarp Dosh phase can be extremely dangerous with a miserable effect on an individual’s life and relations, it can even reduce the positive effects of the other favorable planets as well specially Sun or Moon. To reduce the negative impact, here are some simple and effective remedies that you can follow.

  1. Chanting
    Mantras of Lord Shiva can help significantly to remove the challenges due to Kaal Sarp Dosh, chant the Panchakshara Mantra i.e ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ or the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra at least 108 times daily. Or you can even do Rudrabhishek. Also chant the following Mantra to reduce the effects of the Kaal Sarp Dosha “Om Kuru Kulye Hun Fatt“.
  2. Fasting
    Observing a fast on Nag Panchami day and worshipping the Nag Devta can be really effective.
  3. Puja :   Best day for Kaal-sarp yoga puja is Amavasya, lunar or solar eclipse. To experience a very long term relief from Kaal Sarp Dosh ‘Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Pooja’ must be performed from a very experienced and knowledgeable Pandit. Other than that you should offer a pair of a snake (Nag Nagin ka Joda) made of silver in a Shiv Temple, worship them, and then immerse them in the river. One also get blessings of Goddess Lakshmi specially if Gold is used.
  4. Garnet and Cat’s eye gemstone : Gemstone remedy for Kaal Sarp Dosh can turn out to be very beneficial and effective but should be worn considering many different points (which we are not discussing here). Wear Gomed aka Garnet gemstone or Cat’s eye gemstone embossed in the silver ring to negate the effects of Kaal Sarp Dosh. Gemstones should be worn on proper day & muhurt, with right mantras etc.
