THE CURSE OF THE DREADED SERPENT-KAALSARPA DOSH

THE CURSE OF THE DREADED SERPENT- KAAL SARPA DOSH

  Hope you are benefiting from the accurate market astro readings :-). Let us discuss another concept or rather a misconception in Vedic Astrology- THE KAAL SARPA DOSH.Off late hundreds of astro websites have mushroomed offering remedies for Kaal Sarpa Dosh and also several astrologers appearing in the media has the view that Kaal Sarpa Dosh is a worst possible combination/dosh any person can have and offer myraid remedies some costing over Rs. 5K !!!. Let us have a closer look.

Kaal Sarpa Dosh occurs when all the planets in a horoscope are trapped between Rahu & Ketu, the two shadow planets in Vedic Astrology. Some learned astrologers even opine that if any one planet is outside the Rahu Ketu Axis then a Partial Kaal Sarpa Dosh is caused which is even more worse that Purna Kaal Sarpa Dosh !!! So what happens if this dosh is present in your horoscope...a life full
of endless sorrow, struggles, misfortune...imagine breaking a mirror every day !!! The person afflicted by this dosh/yog is as good as walking dead !!!

But what is really the case ?? Vedic Astrology is 5000 years plus old science where the great Hindu sages have documented their knowledge in several Jyotish classics. The Great Rishi Parashara who is considered to be the Father of Vedic Astrology....in his jyotish magnum opus  Brihat Parashara Hora fails to mention about Kaal Sarpa Dosh. There is no reference of Kaal Sarpa Dosh in Phaldeepika written by the great astrologer Mantreshwar. Even no reference of this dosh is mentioned by Jamini in Jaminisutram or other astrological classics. Out of the blue this dosh came into existence in the sixties without any reference to the classics or any other acknowledged text of Jyotish.It can be safely opined that it is just an invention by a cartel of astrologers to make themselves richer by scaring people. Let us examine the horoscope below :-

D.O.B of the Native :- 24.04.1973 , 7:30 a.m, Mumbai, Poorvashasa Nakshatra


The native supposedly has  "Kaal Sarpa Dosh" and is doomed to fail miserably in life. We also find that the native's Sun and Mars are exalted.A powerful Dhana Yog is indicated by Mars positioned powerfully in the 9th. Also Guru-Mangala Yog in the 9th.An excellent horoscope in all respects.This horoscope belongs to the greatest batsman of all times SACHIN TENDULKAR !!!.
So much for "Kaal Sarpa Dosh" !!! ( Note:- Most of the greatest sportspersons have exalted Mars  Mars helps in excelling in sports). There are so many numerous horoscopes which have "Kaal Sarpa Dosh" , Sri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu,Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, famous Bengali singer Hemanta Mukhopadhaya and even Mahatma Gandhi .the list of accomplished personalities  could go on and on.Just because the planets are trapped between Rahu & Ketu does not mean that you are doomed. The entire chart has to be studied in totality.The ascendant lord, planets in the ascendant house, exalted planets give great strength to the chart and thus any malefic effect stands neutered. Also the Navamsha chart and other relevent divisional charts has to be studied in totality in order to come to a firm conclusion.Also some astrologers propagate the view that "Kaal Sarpa Yog" causes sudden/untimely death.They often site the example of Mahatma Gandhi.  This is a completely baseless axiom.


The truth is that since all the planets a trapped in one side of the horoscope the native's life sometimes becomes a bit unbalanced thats all but nothing life threatening.A chart with planets well
spread out is always good but if they are trapped between Rahu & Ketu you might just have to put in more hard work in life.Great people often become great because they overcome their adversities.

There are also so much unwarranted fear regarding the two shadow planets Rahu & Ketu. Its true these are malefic planets but not without riders attached. These are also karmic planets which indicate karmic links to your past life and its relation to the present. These two shadow or astral planets have the capacity to do lot of good and sometimes takes the native to great heights.Rahu & Ketu also stands for higher spirituality. It's a fact that great spiritual leaders like Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Ramanuja also had "Kaal Sarpa Dosh". If you want to be a successfull politician , without the blessings of Rahu it is impossible. Also if you want to become a successfull
F & O/intraday trader  in the stock markets the blessings of Rahu is a must. Rahu often gives very good results in Taurus, Cancer, Leo & Virgo Ascendants ( Rajyoga karaka if suitably placed). So 
these twin malefics are not totally malefics in the real sense.

Inspite of knowing that "Kaal Sarpa Dosh" is not really a "Dosh" but a blessing in disguise, people tend to get bogged down by various opinions of various astrologers. If its really getting into you mentally then visit one of the 12 jyotirlings ( Especially The famous Trambakeshwar Temple near Nasik). These places have lot of positive spiritual energy which can remove karmic negativities. Praying to Lord Shiva will help tremendously.   Regards
