Kalsarp Yoga has become a very popular astrological concept today with a number of controversies surrounding its authenticity and true nature. Many astrologers claim that there is no mention of Kalsarp Yoga in any of the classical astrological texts.

We also support the view that there is no mention of the combination by the name of Kalsarp Yoga but our research has shown there is mention of the combination in some Pauranic texts under another name which is a subject of debate. This combination is also found to be effective in practice.

Kalsarp Yoga creates numerous difficulties in every area of life of the person who has this combination in is horoscope. It is observed that usually such individuals do not get the deserved level of success irrespective of the intensity of their efforts as compared to other people.

Popularly Kalsarp Yoga is believed to manifest in various forms and some astrologers have even named 12 such combinations under the names of legendary serpents like Vasuki Kalsarp Yoga etc.

Our research has shown that these legendary titles have no significance and there can be two broad variations of the combination based on its complete and partial manifestation. In the case of individuals with complete Kalsarp Yoga in their horoscope, lack of success is usual, irrespective of the good background or other factors in their favour which gives a tendency to depression. Individuals with partial Kalsarp Yoga face enormous difficulties in their lives still they can become successful with some good streak of fortune.

HOW KALSARP YOGA IS FORMED IN A HOROSCOPE: -

There is wide dispute among astrologers on how Kalsarp Yoga is formed in a horoscope which includes following views: -

1. Is Kalsarp Yoga given rise to when all the planets are placed between Rahu and Ketu?
2. Is Kalsarp Yoga given rise to when all the planets are placed between Ketu and Rahu?

Nowadays astrologers consider Kalsarp Yoga in both of the abovementioned conditions whereas it is well known that complete Kalsarp Yoga is present in the horoscope of Indian independence. This horoscope is calculated for the midnight of 15/ 16 th August 1947 with all the planets placed between Rahu and Ketu.

INDEPENDENT INDIA'S HOROSCOPE


Kaal Sarp Yoga

Among Rahu and Ketu, Rahu is considered to be the head and Ketu as the tail and they always move in retrograde motion whereas all the other planets move in direct motion most of the time. Rahu is considered to eclipse entering its mouth till they do not cross the tail represented by Ketu and all the planets placed between Rahu and Ketu give rise to complete Kalsarp Yoga. If one or two planets are placed outside Rahu and Ketu it gives rise to Kalsarp Yoga.

FAKE SOLUTIONS OF FAKE KALSARP YOGA PRACTICED NOWADAYS: -  

Nowadays, astrologers baffle people with legendary serpent’s names falsely associated with the Kalsarp Yoga as they have no significance in the context of Kalsarp Yoga. Four such popular fake solutions undertaken nowadays under the name of pacifying Kalsarp Yoga are described below.

1. A pair of cobras (Naga) is sculpted in silver and worshipped.
2. Mahamrityunjaya Japa Anushthana is recommended.
3. Sahasrabdi Kalsarp Yoga Anushthana is recommended.
4. It is being popularized that worshipping in certain specific temples can help pacify Kalsarp Yoga.

In our research, it has been found that as Rahu and Ketu are shadowy planets and “Sarp” which literally means serpent is used to indicate the irregular serpent-like movement of Rahu and Ketu and has no other such significance. Thus logically there is no meaning in associating the names of legendary serpents with Kalsarp Yoga and worshipping cobras (Naga) in Sahasrabdi Yagyas or certain temples or worshipping Lord Shiva, which would also be ineffective in pacifying the evil influences of Kalsarp Yoga. In practice also, these solutions are found to be ineffective for Kalsarp Yoga.

WHAT IS THE AUTHENTIC SOLUTION OF KALSARP YOGA: -

 It has been found in our research that Kalsarp Yoga is mentioned in Pauranic texts although its name is at variance from the present one which is a subject matter of debate.

It has also been found in our research that Rahu is the symbolic head and Ketu is the tail and head cannot be bound up due to the retrograde motion of these two planets. This helps Rahu eclipse planets entering its mouth so if the symbolic tail is chopped off or in other words if we undertake solution for Ketu, all the planets which usually move in direct motion can move out of the eclipsing influence of Rahu and reduce the negative influence of Kalsarp Yoga.

CONCLUSION: -

Our research shows that associating the name of legendary serpents with the Kalsarp Yoga is illogical and of no astrological significance and similar is the case with such fake solutions undertaken by worshipping cobras (Naga) in a number of ways. On the other hand, Kalsarp Yoga is a subject matter of serious and sincere astrological research for which authentic solution is possible in the manner we have described by chopping off the symbolic tail which is represented by Ketu with the help of undertaking the solution of Ketu.
