KAAL SARP YOG


KAAL-SARP YOG

For those interested souls who want to know about Kaal-Sarp Yog read the following paragraphs.

First of all to start with, It is a YOG and NOT a DOSH. The word Dosh has been compiled by unscrupulous Astrologers many years back to extract benefits for their vested interests and to create fear among common people. THIS YOG DOES NOT FIND ANY MENTION IN 1) NAARAD PURAAN (The First and foremost Jyotish Script which came even before Brihat Paarashar Hora Shaastr) 2) Brihat Paarashar Hora Shaastr 3) Bhrigu Samhita and in any ancient Vedic Jyotish Scriptures.

This Yog is said to be present in a Horoscope when all the Planets are Hemmed between Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) BUT ALL THE PLANETS SHOULD BE AHEAD OF RAHU AND BEFORE KETU. NOTE THAT THE MOVEMENT OF RAHU AND KETU IS OPPOSITE TO THAT OF ALL OTHER PLANETS. SO EVEN IF ANY ONE PLANET GOES OUT OF THE RAHU – KETU FRONTAL AXIS EVEN BY ONE DEGREE THIS KAAL SARP YOG CANNOT BE SAID TO BE PRESENT.

Kaal Sarp Yog will be of 12 types based on the positions of Rahu Ketu from 1st House to 12th House, and it will give results based entirely on an individual chart and THERE CANNOT BE ANY GENERALISED PREDICTION ABOUT KAAL-SARP YOG, some Astrolgers say Good things get delayed if there is a Kaal-Sarp Yog, There could be some amount of truth BUT The other thing i.e. Good things happening earlier also is possible because of Kaal-Sarp Yog.

Below all the 12 types of Kaal Sarp Yog are being given BUT AGAIN WITH A CAUTION THAT THE RESULTS MENTIONED CANNOT BE APPLIED VERBATIM AND THEY SHOULD BE STUDIED WITH THE ENTIRE CHART WITH ALL OTHER COMBINATIONS. Generally only negative things are mentioned in the scripts BUT Positive things also do come when a chart is studied correctly in the entirety.

1. 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 on court cases. Married life would be marred by differences between husband and wife.(Not necessary if other positive conditions are present)

2. Kulika Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in second house, Ketu in eighth: This combination is not good for the person’s health.(A very vague and general statement given based on the second house characteristics) 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. There some very conflicting results of this Yog.

3. Vasuki Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in third house, Ketu in ninth: The person would have trouble dealing with his brothers and friends.(A very vague and general statement given based on the third house characteristics) Travel to foreign countries would create problems. (There will not be any problems provided some other conditions are present). The person having this combination in his chart should take precautions in deals by paying extra attention towards legal work.

4. Shankapal Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in fourth house, Ketu in tenth: The person with this combination would never be satisfied with his financial situation (No body in this world is satisfied) 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. (A very vague and general statement given based on the fourth house characteristics)

5. Padma Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in fifth house, Ketu in eleventh: The person would have trouble with children. (A very vague and general statement given based on the fifth house characteristics) The person should never try his luck in lottery, share markets, and anything where speculation is involved. (This again depends on other conditions)

6. Mahapadma Kalsarpa 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. (A very vague and general statement given based on the sixth house characteristics)

7. Takshak Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in seventh house, Ketu in first: There is a need for the person to be extra careful in matter relating to married life and business partnerships. (A very vague and general statement given based on the seventh house characteristics)

8. Karkotik Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in eighth house, Ketu in second: The person does not benefit from any paternal property. (Other combinations do exist to counter this effect) 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. (A very vague and general statement given based on the eighth house characteristics)

9. Shankhnaad Kalsarpa 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. (A general statement)

10. Paatak Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in tenth house, Ketu in fourth: Rahu being in tenth house indicates problem in employment and with higher authorities whom the person would report to during his/her job. (A very vague and general statement given based on the tenth house characteristics)

11. Vishakt Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in eleventh house, Ketu in fifth: This combination indicates a lot of problems between the person and his elder brother. The person would also remain away from his native place throughout his life. The person would be prone to problems like heart trouble, insomnia etc.(Not necessary if the sixth house and the aspects on it are beneficial)

12. Sheshnag Kalsarpa Yoga - Rahu in twelfth house, Ketu in sixth: The person would be prone to problems from people whom he does not know - mysterious enemies. (A very vague Statement)

There is no logic to the worship of the silver snake couple. Because in the KaalSarp Yoga the Sarp(Snake) names indicate the movement of the Rahu Ketu in the zigzag modes like of a snake. Secondly the Mahamritunjay chant is the Shiv Upasana the worship of lord Shiva, and Rahu-Ketu were the Demons as per ancient Scripts and does not have anything to do with Shiva(Rudra), even otherwise Shiva Upasana is bound to give positive results and effects to anybody, let alone Kaal-Sarp Yog. Thirdly some temples rituals are considers to remove the ill-effects of KaalSarp Yoga but to whom to be worshiped, whereas head is considered Rahu and tail as Ketu. But the basic solution is not considered in the KaalSarp yoga, by properly studying the Charts. This makes the person aghast after going through the above mentioned therapies and makes him depressed.

Vedic Astrology's Origin and Its Vedic Connections Part II

Vedic Astrology's Origin and Its Vedic Connections Part II

The first pair of Angas, "Siksha" and "Chanda", teach us how to speak the Veda. The second pair, "Nirukta" and "Nyakarana", teach us how to understand the meaning of the Veda. While the third pair, "Kalpana" and "Jyotisa", teach how to use the Veda. Each vedanga is related to a bodily limb. Jyotish is given the epithet "Veda-Chakshus", the eye of the Veda, because it allows us to see through opaque time and to understand how the gunas(Qualities or modes of material nature) are working.

In the Vedas great stress was made on performing sacrifices and other observances at the Correct Time or (Muhurat) in order that such sacrifices and observances bear fruit; this is one area of jurisdiction of the vedanga jyotisa.

As mentioned the purpose of jyotisa, (astrology), is to show us how to use the Vedic knowledge. Let us look at some practical examples of how this could be done. The famous Bhagavad-gita verse ( 2.14) states:

Maatra-Sparshas Tu Kaunteya
Sitosna-Sukha-Duhkha-Dah
Agamapayino Nityas
tams titikshasva Bharata

"O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed."

The concept seems easy to understand when nothing is troubling us. Problems arise, however, when a person is beset by some obstacle or crisis. Then it is a different story because there is a tendency for us to lose our philosophical objectivity. This is where jyotisa (literally "light from God"; jyoti - light, Eesa - God) can help by returning us to a proper philosophical perspective of things. Jyotisa can do this because it deals with time cycles and the science of time in general. Jyotisa can thus inform us when a particular effect will begin to manifest, how long it will last, and when it will depart. This allows one to act wisely, to tolerate the situation without being disturbed.

Without the positive reinforcement from Jyotish experts (Which generally lacks due to vested Interests) one may react in ignorance. Being caught in the temporary grip of a negative situation one may become depressed, desperate or in some other way mentally disturbed. In such a disturbed state of mind one may act in a negative or destructive way which compounds the negative situation one is in. Eventually the negative situation passes as they always do, but then one has to be responsible for one’s foolish behavior while in a disturbed mental state.

It is sure that if one considers one’s own life he/she will recognize situations where it would have helped greatly to know that there was going to be light at the end of the tunnel, even if one couldn't see it before. Perhaps he/she would have acted differently, not out of hopelessness or desperation but out of wisdom and tolerance for one’s present situation.

The Vedas are the storehouse of knowledge, both material and spiritual. But such knowledge aims at perfection of Self-Realisation. In other words, the Vedas are the guides for the civilised man in every respect. Since human life is the opportunity to get free from all material miseries, it is properly guided by the knowledge of the Vedas, in the matters of both material needs and spiritual salvation. The specific intelligent class of men who were devoted particularly to the knowledge of the Vedas were called the vipras, or the graduates of the Vedic knowledge.

Vedic Astrology's Origin and Its Vedic Connections

Jyotish is the science of astronomy and astrology. The Yajur and Rig Vedas have sections attached to them dealing with astronomy, whereas the Atharva Veda has a section dealing with astrology. Aside from the Vedas, many Rishis such as Parasara, Garga, Narada, Sukadeva, Bhrgu, etc., wrote on this science and preserved it in their sampradayas (discipled successions).

There are six branches of astrology: Gola, (Astronomy); Ganita, (Calculations based on planetary position); Jataka, (Birth Horoscope); Prasna, (Answering specific questions); Muhurta, (Choosing a time to start something); and Nimitta, (Omens).

Astrology is essentially a language, a mystical cryptogram created with the Vedas. Each of the planets according to Sri Parasara Muni, father of Veda Vyasa, is intimately connected with one of Lord’s Avatars(Incarnations) and ultimately is a manifestation of that particular Avatar. As any language has parts such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc., astrology is no different except that in this language the parts are planets, signs, houses, aspects, etc. It is the language of time.

The horoscope and the zodiac belt are often referred to in the literature as the Kaala chakr, wheel of time. The horoscope is like a big clock, except that while we are familiar with clocks that have three hands, the horoscopic clock has ten hands made up of the Ascendent, Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. And while the clocks of normal experience measure in hours, minutes, and seconds; the hands of the Kaala chakr measure much longer spans of time. A complete cycle of the ten hands from the Lagna (Ascendent) to Ketu take respectively: one day, one year, 27 days, two years, one year, 12 years, one year, 30 years, 18 years, and 18 years. A complex clock indeed - one only the Lord could create.

To create a horoscope requires the exact date, time and place of birth. The reverse is also true; given a chart, a learned astrologer can tell the date, time, and place of birth. This time-keeping feature of astrology is used today in archeology and history to date personalities and events based on recorded horoscopes or other astronomical observations such as eclipses and comets.

Another way to look at astrology is as a sophisticated and systematic science of Laksanas; that is, symptoms or signs. The science of omens or nimitta is directly a branch of astrology. The study of physiognomy or bodily symptoms (laksana) is called Samudrika Sastra, after Samudraraj, the lord of the sea, who, from his vantage point, was able to study the perfect bodily construction of Sri-Sri Laksmi Narayana. Hasta Samudrika, the science of palmistry, is a specialized sub-branch of Samudrika Sastra. It should be remembered that astrology, palmistry, and physiognomy are all intimately related.

Astrology and related subjects are valid sciences applicable to both the divine and mundane sphere because they are non-causal, rather they are symptomatic of higher laws.
