Kaal Sarpa Dosha/ Yoga: Types, Remedies, Benefits And Exceptions

Kaal Sarpa Yoga when translated to English means. "Kala" (time) ;'Sarpa' ( Serpent )and "Yoga" (combination). A person who kills a serpent is cursed with Kaal Sarpa Dosha due to which he often sees snakes in their dreams. The effects of the Kaal Sarpa Yoga are quite gruesome. Kaal Sarpa Yoga is actually formed when all planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu.

This planetary alignment creates Kaal Sarpa Yoga. Even if one planet stays outside the axis of Rahu or Ketu It does not indicate Kaal Sarpa Yoga. The Sarpa Dosha is known to follow a soul or a person even after his death, whereas the Kaal Sarpa Dosha is of hereditary nature whose effects are felt only when there is Rahu dosha in the chart. Kaal Sarpa Yoga remedies are simple and effective but Sarpa Dosha mitigation is not easy.

For the Kaal Sarpa Yoga to affect the people, Rahu should be at the upper end and Ketu at the lower end. There should not be any planet in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu. All the seven planets should face Rahu who is always in retrograde motion. Let us find out how this dosha impacts the human lives, and also the remedies used to mitigate its effect.
