The Reason

How might one be suffering from Kaal Sarp Dosh?

It is said that we will reap what we sow, i.e. we get results as per our Karmas. This is very much true for Kaal Sarp Yoga as well. If a person has killed or caused the death of an innocent animal or a snake during his/her lifetime, then they will have the Kaal Sarp Yog in their Kundlis in their next birth. It is also said that those with Kaal Sarp Yog in their horoscope have to take rebirth to fulfill their unfulfilled desires.

Kaal Sarp Yog Remedies

Many Vedic astrologers suggest remedies to reduce the malefic effects of Kaal Sarp Yoga. (It is very important to ask astrologers before you apply remedies)

  • Offering prayers to Nagaraja and other snake gods on Sundays, Panchami, and Aslesha Nakshatra day is beneficial. Fasting on Nag Panchami and worshipping the Nag Devta on this day or praying to Lord Krishna and offering 11 coconuts in the river on a Saturday or on a Panchami is effective.
  • Doing food donation is meritorious, feeding animals, and protecting trees and groves also help in alleviating problems associated with Kaal Sarp Yog.
  • Chanting the Panchakshari Mantra, i.e. Om Namah Shivaya, or performing the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra Jaap at least 108 times daily is an effective way to overcome this Yog in the horoscope.
