In a birth chart, if all seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) fall on one side between Rahu and Ketu, then a yoga named “Kaal Sarp” is formed. A person born under this yoga (male or female) experiences various difficulties and sorrows related to business, wealth, family, and children.
“अग्रे वा चेत् पृष्ठतोऽप्येकपाश्र्वे भानांषट्के राहुकेत्वो न खेटः ।
योगः प्रोक्तः कालसर्पश्च तस्मिन्जातो जाता वाऽर्थपुत्रर्त्तिमीयात् ॥“
“Agre va chet prshthatopyekapaashrve bhaanaanshatke raahuketavo na khetah.
yogah proktah kaalasarpashch tasminjaato gast vaarthputrarttimeeyaat.“
If all the planets fall on one side between Rahu and Ketu, it is called Kaal Sarp Yoga. A person born under this yoga may face obstacles in every work and hindrances in financial progress. However, only Kaal Sarp Yoga doesn’t need to be influencing the chart. Other auspicious yogas in the chart can bring remarkable success. Kaal Sarp Yoga can be present in the horoscope of a very wealthy person as well as a poor, deprived person. Mainly, due to this yoga, a person cannot fully utilize their inner strengths, or despite having all the comforts, there remains mental stress and dissatisfaction, along with feelings of unknown fear and insecurity.
Symptoms:
Due to this yoga, the native sees snakes in dreams, and water, sees themselves flying, a calamity befalling a family member, ancestral spirits, or a snake and mongoose fight, indicating family strife. These symptoms suggest Kaal Sarp or partial Kaal Sarp Yoga in the horoscope.
Kaal Sarp Dosha is only planetary affliction, so its remedy primarily includes (1) near any one of the twelve Jyotirlingas (2) Since the presiding deity of this yoga is Lord Mahakal, the remedy at the famous Mahakaleshwar Jyotirling and Siddh Shakti Peeth, the abode of Kalia Nag on the holy banks of Kshipra river in Ujjain is recommended (3) Prayagraj (4) Nasik, or if not possible, meditate on the twelve Jyotirlingas in a Shiva temple.
Saral Remedies for Kaal Sarp Dosha:
- For mitigating the malefic effects of Kaal Sarp Dosha, chanting 1.25 lakh times “Om Namah Shivaya” in a Shiva temple and performing Rudrabhishek afterwards is significant. Additionally, offering a silver pair of snakes, reciting Nag Stotra, and worshipping the serpent is beneficial.
Nag Gayatri Mantra:
“ॐ नव कुलाय विद्महे विषदन्ताय धीमहि तन्नो सर्पः प्रचोदयात्।”
“Om Nav Kulaya Vidmahe Vishadantaya Dhimahi Tanno Sarpah Prachodayat.” - If Kaal Sarp Yoga causes hindrance in marital life, the native should remarry their spouse and place a silver Swastik symbol on the threshold of the house.
- Every Saturday, take a coconut, mark it with oil and black sesame seeds, wrap it with a sacred thread (Mouli), rotate it thrice around your head, chant “Om Shreem Shreem Shreem Sah Rahave Namah” at least three times and flow it in running water. Repeat this for at least five Saturdays.
Feeding dogs with milk and chapati every Saturday and offering the first chapati of the kitchen to cows, and crows, with oil drops is auspicious.
- Keep a peacock feather fan in a sacred place at home and fan yourself with it in the morning and before sleeping while meditating on Lord Shiva. Sprinkle cow urine mixed with Ganga water in all house rooms on every Sankranti.
- Take a major holy bath during the Mahakumbh festival and perform proper worship in the Shiva temple located in the Kumbh. Offer at least 11 pairs of silver snakes to the Shiva Linga daily and pray to Lord Mahadev to free you from this affliction.
- For the peace of Kaal Sarp Yoga, chant the names of the nine serpent deities:
- Navnag Stotra:
“अनन्तं वासुकिं शेषं पद्मनाभं च कम्बलं
शन्खपालं ध्रूतराष्ट्रं च तक्षकं कालियं तथा
एतानि नव नामानि नागानाम च महात्मनं
सायमकाले पठेन्नीत्यं प्रातक्काले विशेषतः
तस्य विषभयं नास्ति सर्वत्र विजयी भवेत“
“Anantam Vasukim Shesham Padmanabham Cha Kambalam
Shankhpalam Dhritarashtram Takshakam Kaliyam Tatha
Eetaninava Nagnam Cha Mahatmyam Srinu Yadwitam
Ayurvuddhikarani Chaiva Svastyamithyarth Siddhye.” - Observe the Nag Panchami fast and recite the Navnag Stotra. Observe the ‘Ananta Chaturdashi’ fast properly. Every Wednesday, donate a handful of black gram or green gram wrapped in black cloth to a beggar, reciting Rahu’s mantra. If no one is available to take the donation, release the grains in running water. Doing this for 72 Wednesdays is beneficial.
- If someone’s horoscope is afflicted by this yoga and there is a lack of progeny, and they cannot perform the rituals, they should circumambulate (108 times daily) a Peepal tree. After 300 days, when 28,000 circumambulations are completed, the defect will be removed, and progeny will be attained.
Additionally, performing the Mahakal Rudra Stotra, Manasa Devi Nag Stotra, and Mahamrityunjaya Stotra according to the rituals and performing havan (fire rituals) can calm the Kaal Sarp Dosha.
