Kal Sarpa Yoga - III

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

List of remedies for Kal Sarpa yoga (Please note there is no data to substantiate that these remedies would work, take the name of your Istadevata and perform them the phala or result will definitely be positive.)

Remedies

1. Wear a Kalsarpa ring, which is snake shaped and made of silver. This ring can be obtained from any renowned astrologer. This should be worn on Wednesday, in the small finger. Donate dry coconut, mustard etc on that day and chant the mantra of Rahu and Ketu.

2. Worship Lord Ganesha and before sunrise offer a pair of snakes made of silver on a Shiva ling. This should be done through a renowned astrologer

3. Offer water daily on a Shiva ling after chanting the mantra "Om Nama.H Shivaya".

4. Give a silver brick of 20 gms to daughter at her marriage. This remedy is for a happy married life.

5. Donate fresh radish.

6. Drop coals equal to your weight in a flowing river on Wednesday.

7. Donate some black dal & some money to a beggar early in the morning.

8. Keep some grains under your pillow at night & feed them to birds early in the morning.

9. Put a silver swastik on the main entrance of the house.

20. Buy a pair of snakes on the 5th day of Shukalpaksh or Nag Panchami, feed them with milk and free them after worship.

21. Keep a pair of snakes made of silver in a bronze vessel full of milk on the 5th day of Shukalpaksh or Nag Panchami & float the vessel in flowing water.

These remedies might look rediculous and very meaningless but the person going through the effects of Kal Sarpa Yoga or Rahu -Ketu effects only knows the pain so no matter how rediculous they sound, it is not that difficult to do most of them, at least none of them ask to climb mount Everest and wait for Lord Shiva, and regarding the benefits of the said remedies only a native going through the difficult phase would know if they worked or not and sometimes the benefit is so small that it is not visible and sometime it is immense and it is visible like a sun rise, but lot has to do with your mind and how you take things.

All the best, May Lord Shiva save us from those difficult times.

Kal Sarpa Yoga-I

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Kal Sarpa Yoga, it is considered a dreadful astrological condition, which is sometimes blown out of proportion by many for obvious reasons, people with this yoga suffer from hardship and delays in their life and once they are told by the Astrologer that they have Kal Sarpa Yoga, then the unnecessary stress, all is in the mind, to accept or not to accept.

While interacting on one of the leading Astro based forum, I did some research with this topic and many contributed to this data (For which I am thankful), well there are two sides to this issue, those who think it is a genuine yoga and should be treated like any other yoga, and there are others who think this is mere bulls**t. in the first group there are few who think that it is not a yoga (Status) but it is a dosha (Anomaly), so it should be treated by proper techniques, like Pooja, Yagya, charity etc.

What exactly is Kal Sarpa Yoga/Kal Amrita Yoga are?

View I- When all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu (i.e., the moon's north node and the moon's south node), Kal Sarpa Yoga is formed. Complete Kal Sarpa Yoga is formed only when half of the chart is unoccupied by planets.

Even if one planet is outside the Rahu-Ketu Axis, there is no Kal SarpaYoga. Before you do any remedies for the Kal Sarpa Yoga, make sure that all planets are between Rahu and Ketu. 

The Kal Sarpa Yoga is not always bad. It has the power to confer gains too. All planets must be hemmed between Rahu and Ketu. Even if one planet is outside the Rahu Ketu axis there is no Kal Sarpa Yoga. Rahu is the moon's north node. Ketu is the moon's south node.

View II- A lot has been read, said and discussed about the Kal Sarpa Yoga. This yoga, and please notice the choice of words - it is a yoga (Status) and _not_ a dosha (Anomaly), is caused when all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu. The figure on the side illustrates this point. If a person has Kal Sarpa Yoga in his Horoscope/kundali, Rahu and Ketu are said to limit the potential of the chart and not allow other important yogas to take effect.

In practise, it is observed that this role of Rahu and Ketu diminishes over time and good things are just delayed for such people.

Again, noted Astrologer Dr. B.V. Raman is of the opinion that if the ascendant is on the other axis while all the planets are hemmed on one side of the axis, then the evil arising out of Kal Sarpa Yoga almost gets neutralized.

This is just a commentary on what I have learned about Kal Sarpa Yoga over the years. My advice to the readers is not to take this yoga too seriously and go on with the life.

Research shows that this yoga was not a part of classical texts written by great sages like Parashara, Bhrigu etc. but gained importance later.

View I-Type of Kal Sarpa Yoga, when Rahu is in the first House and Ketu in the seventh house and the rest of the planets are to the left of this axis the Yoga which arises is the Anant Kal Sarpa Yoga. This is also called as Vipareeta Kal Sarpa yoga opposite Kal Sarpa Yoga. Though this yoga has the power to give windfall gains to the native, it is bad for marital life. Generally natives with this yoga get married late in life.

View II - Types of Kal Sarpa Yoga, There are 12 types of Kal Sarpa Yoga. Kal Amrita Yoga is not a seperate yoga.

View I- Anant Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in Lagna, Ketu in seventh house: The person is prone to be target of conspiracies hatched by people supposedly close to him. The person is likely to lose out in matters of courts. Married life would be marred by differences between husband and wife.

View I - Kulik Kal Sarpa Yoga, When Rahu occupies the second house and Ketu the eighth house Kulik Kal Sarpa Yoga arises. This combination is bad for health. The probability of losses and accidents is high with natives of this combination. This is bad for financial prosperity too. The native is worried on account of an insecure financial standing.

View II-Kulika Kal Sarpa Yoga- Rahu in second house, Ketu in eighth: This combination is not good for the person's health. Expenses would be more then the income and the financial situation would remain fairly mediocre. He has to struggle a lot in life to achieve something.

View I- Vasuki Kal Sarpa Yoga- When Rahu occupies the third house and Ketu the ninth house and the rest of the planets are located to the left of the Rahu Ketu axis, this yoga is born. The native is burdened with problems relating to job and business.

View II - Vasuki Kal Sarpa Yoga - Rahu in third house, Ketu in ninth: The person would have trouble dealing with his brothers and friends. Travel to foreign countries would create problems. The person having this combination in his chart should take precautions in deals by paying extra attention towards legal documentation.

View I -Shankpal Kal Sarpa Yoga- When Rahu occupies the 4th house and Ketu the 10th this yoga is formed. The native gets trouble relating to work sphere and has to go through stress and anxiety. Sometimes the native has an illegitimate child, or can be an illegitimate child. However this yoga also has the power of conferring high political success and windfall gains.

View II- Shankapal Kal Sarpa Yoga - Rahu in fourth house, Ketu in tenth: The person with this combination would never be satisfied with his financial situation and would always strive for more. The person is prone to troubles relating to immovable property - e.g. land, houses and modes of conveyance - e.g. cars

View I -Padam Kal Sarpa Yoga- When Rahu occupies the fifth house and Ketu the eleventh house this Yoga is formed. The native is worried on account of children. There is difficulty in getting a progeny. If the moon is also afflicted then there is the possibility of being troubled by spirits. In this case if a native falls ill the recovery time is slow. There are also chances of being let down by friends in this case.

View II- Padma Kal Sarpa Yoga - Rahu in fifth house, Ketu in eleventh: The person would have trouble with children. The person should never try his luck in lottery, share markets, and anything where speculation is involved.

View I -Mahapadam Kal Sarpa Yoga- This yoga is formed when Rahu is in the 6th house and Ketu is in the twelfth house. The native has many enemies and has problems on account of diseases. However, if this yoga acts beneficially, it has the power to confer power and political success.

View II-Mahapadma Kal Sarpa Yoga - Rahu in sixth house, Ketu in twelfth: The person would not do well in relationships and would have a very pessimistic view of life.

View I- Takshak Kal Sarpa Yoga- When Rahu is in the seventh house and Ketu in the first house this yoga is formed. The native has speculative tendencies and can lose wealth by way of wine, women and gambling. There is marital discord in the life of the native.

View I- Karkotak Kal Sarpa Yoga- When Rahu occupies the eighth house and Ketu the second house this yoga is formed. The native is short tempered and has many enemies. Such a native has friendship with anti-social elements. The native does not get paternal wealth.

View II - Karkotik Kal Sarpa Yoga - Rahu in eighth house, Ketu in second: The person does not benefit from any paternal property. There would be a lot of trust issues between the person and his friends. This combination is not good for health and Rahu being in eighth house is usually not considered good as it indicates a sudden and violent death.

View I- Shankachood Kal SarpaYoga- When Rahu occupies the ninth house and Ketu is in the 3rd house this yoga operates. Natives who have this yoga in the chart have many ups and down in life. They have a habit of speaking lies. They are also short tempered.

View II -Shankhnaad Kal Sarpa Yoga - Rahu in ninth house, Ketu in third: This combination indicates problems from higher authorities, government of the day and local administration in the field of business and commerce.

View I- Ghatak Kal Sarpa Yoga- This yoga arises when Rahu is in tenth house and Ketu in the fourth house. Litigation problems are common is this case. Punishment by law or the Government also possible. However if this yoga operates in a beneficial manner then it has the power to confer the highest form of political power, especially in Virgo and Leo ascendant.

Kal Sarpa Yoga - II

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Now that we know the types and forms of Kal Sarpa Yoga, let us see few examples of this yoga and a general understanding, how to deal with it.

Kala Sarpa Yoga/Kala Amrita Yoga(KSY/KAY) When all planets are enclosed between Rahu and Ketu, or Ketu and Rahu respectively.

e.g. of KSY

Nelson Mandela, Carl Sagan, Pope Jules II, Pope Gregory XIII, Benito Mussolini (Dictator of Italy from 1922-1943) etc,

e.g. of KAY

Singer Yesudas, Margaret Thatcher, G.W.Bush,

People with KSY or KAY like status but one or more planet outside.

Mahatma Gandhi, Tony Blair, Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Adolph hitler, Ronald reagan, Bill Clinton, Deepak Chopra, Bill gates, and the list is endless.

Quote: B V Raman:
Rahu must occupy one of the first six houses from the lagna, i.e., bhava 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Kala-Sarpa yoga does not apply even if one planet is outside the Rahu -Ketu Axis.
If one planet is outside the axis results are good in the form of leadership or activism for social change.


Though the person himself is in the trap of excessive desire, he is able to cut loose and help those who are helpless or not in a position to cut loose.

e.g. Mahatma Gandhi, Jupiter is outside, which made him world class compassionate leader. (This is true for Jupiter or Venus)

All The above leaders have KSY/KAY with one planet outside or planets occupying same rasi as Rahu or Ketu.

Literary Meaning: "Kal" means "earth-time" and "sarpa" means "serpent".

One view is, it is actually Sarpa energy which is again psychic energies of gods and goddesses of underworld, and it is believed that these sarpa are immense, ancient serpent-like deities who control the psychic shield around our planet Earth.


Sarpa are entities, of a much higher vibration than human beings, and definitely not to be confused with the common reptile snakes! This energy can be controlled by psychic skill, that means one has to condition his or her mind in such a way that the negative thoughts emanating from deep within are neutralized and do not effect the psyche of the person, to pull yourself above mundane happenings.

History: Rahu and Ketu gained importance in the Jyotisha around 600-800 AD i.e. long after the classics. like BPHS, Saravali, etc.

Beliefs: Kala-Sarpa yoga is associated with dreadful experiences like suffering from delays, hardships, obsessive habits, excessive desires, poisons, catastrophes, sudden and disastrous changes in every aspect of life, homelessness, not suitable for marriage, employment etc.

(Cause for manipulation by few astrologers. )

Cancellation:

Even if one planet is outside the Rahu -Ketu axis.
If other Raja yoga’s exist.
If other planets are strong and corresponding dasa is in effect.
If planets present in the same house with higher degrees than Rahu or Ketu.
If Lagna is outside.

Actual effect: During Rahu-Ketu dasa, and transits particularly if Rahu is in lagna. Roller coaster kind of life with great falls after great achievements.


People with KSY/KAY are very sensitive and to defend themselves they use means which are Anti to normal society. If they channel this energy in a proper way they can follow people like Deepak Chopra.

During Rahu/Ketu periods, People with KSY/KAY can have severe identity crisis and should take precautions by monitoring their negative feelings particularly in case of criticism from others.

Strong planets: If other planets are strong, people with KSY/KAY live a normal life with normal career and families etc.

Worst effects: when Rahu in the lagna so Ketu is in 7, if married both spouses are affected and might take to anti-social life due to acute negativity.

Raman: "evil gets intensified if lagna is between Ketu and Rahu" whereas "evil is almost neutralized if lagna is between Rahu and Ketu".

If houses involved are - 1/7, 2/8, 4/10, 5/11, or 6/12 - have a significant KSY effects.
If it is 1/7 axis: inauspicious for marital happiness. As per Raman the Marital life becomes oppressive and marred by frequent classes and want of understanding. " and can be avoided through conscious understanding.
If it is 2/8: The native will go through many ups and downs financially - often great wealth, wiped out, and rebuilt several times.
If it is 4/10: Setbacks in career (If10th-rashi or 10-lord is not strong).
If it is 5/11: Difficulties with children. birth defects or accidental deaths for children.
If it is 6/12: betrayal by colleagues or family members. According to Raman in Three

Hundred Important Combinations, (p. 327) the 6/12 position "could indicate incarceration, or spiritual elevation, depending on the presence or absence of powerful Bandhana Yoga’s.

B V Raman: "Kala Sarpa Yoga has its bright shades. It makes one industrious, hardworking, and aware of one’s own ability- despite mental restlessness. It raises the natives to top positions in their respective fields provided of course other Raja Yoga’s are present.


Rahu-Ketu axis favors rise in mundane life while Ketu-Rahu axis indicates elevation in spiritual matters.

Suffering due to developments in life strengthens the mind and mellows down one’s outlook.


This is a blessing of Kala Sarpa Yoga.

No single yoga, including Kala Sarpa Yoga, is capable of marring or making a horoscope.
No single yoga could ever control an entire chart

KSY is a yoga and not a dosha or curse: Rahu's lord directs the life of the native and Rahu is known for breaking normal set rules in a normal society, so a person with this yoga might go through a period particularly during Rahu-Ketu transits and dasas, causing acute negativity causing frustrations even in mundane events of life, Rahu is know to give a person a fearless attitude to cut loose all those borders of social decency. so basically it is a negative thought process circulating in the mind, native should try to let this negativity move out of his head, in way it is management of psychic energies and sensitivities.

As Rahu enhances the phala of the lord of the house it is posited in.

Venus - All desires for beautiful things enhanced to extreme.
Mars- Too much focus.
Mercury- Communication- Too much talking for perfection
Moon- Too sensitive, too fickle minded
Sun- Too much concern about self image and leadership.
Jupiter- Obsession in learning or imparting knowledge to others.
Sani- Claim too much credit or try for impossible achievements.

In a way Rahu enhances the planetary lords traits and Ketu subdues them, so during Rahu periods the native is too focused and during Ketu periods native will have foggy focus.

Planets if outside Rahu-Ketu axis: If one of the following planets is outside the axis.

Sun: strong leadership dharma and moral philosophy
Moon: compassion for the masses, upliftment of suffering people.
Mars: gifted social leader, fight injustice upliftment for the downtrodden.
Mercury: calculating mind, detailed planning and upliftment of masses from ignorance.
Jupiter: extraordinary wisdom, criminal psychologist.
Venus: upliftment through arts and music.
Saturn: Risk taking to averse social injustice but in case no good planets are available, native might resort to injustice himself.

Remedies: Since it has to do with state of mind, take care of it by meditation, spirituality, positive thinking, developing positive habits, and avoiding negative thoughts.

But if you want to still g
et some puja done and do not mind paying, Then go to following websites.

http://www.rudraksh a-ratna.com/ articledt. php?art_id= 145
Astrological Research Centre: 1, 25,000 times chanting of Kalsarpa Yoga Mantra anushthana (japa) and “lapis” stone is also recommended.After performing these two solutions the negative effects of Kalsarpa Yoga are believed to be reducedhttp://www.astrocen t.com/

Websites for puja and homas:http://www.eastrove dica.com/ html/yajnas. htm
http://www.astrodai ly.com/kaal_ sarpa_yoga. asp
http://www.guruetec h.com/astrology/ puja-homa/ kaalsarp_ puja.asp

Conclusion: If you see this yoga in your chart: Do not give much importance to it, instead look for other positive traits of your chart, like raja yoga’s, strong planets, favorable dasa, if Rahu dasa has already passed etc, any way Rahu after 42 years and Ketu after 48 years looses their significance, which is true for any chart with misplaced Rahu or Ketu., particularly in those charts where Rahu is posited in the 12th house and Ketu in 6th house or sign, all planets (No matter how powerful they are) on the left side of the Rahu ( In South Indian Chart) and All planets in the right side of Ketu ( In a south Indian Chart) will remain in a eclipsed condition for almost 42 years and 48 years respectively, and this condition has nothing to do with Kal Sarpa Yoga, if does than no chart is free from Kal Sarpa Yaga, because in every chart there will always be some planet between Rahu- Ketu or Ketu -Rahu.

The bottom line solution for a serious case of Kal Sarpa Yoga is break loose from your general routine and take initiative in positive direction, and then see you are bound to excel, all those great people with this yoga did exactly this.
