Kalasarpa Yoga (KSY)- A Random Thought

Kalasarpa Yoga (KSY) is said to be formed if all the planets are situated between Rahu and Ketu.

The results are that countries and rulers are destroyed and people become afflicted. .

Strictly speaking KSY does not find a place in the classical astrological literature. How this yoga gained lot of popularity now-a-days.

The definition of KSY given above generally holds good. But what if all the planets are hemmed

in between Ketu and Rahu? According to some, this does not constitute KSY. But in my view

irrespective of whether the planets are between Rahu and Ketu or Ketu and Rahu the yoga technically exists. But in conferring results several variations are possible.

The general belief is that KSY is evil restraining all the other good yogas present in the horoscope and that those having the yoga will have set-backs and reverses in life. It is also feared that Kalasarpa Yoga is capable of nullifying the most powerful  Dhana yogas rendering a rich man poor.

In interpreting Kalasarpa Yoga, consideration should be given to the houses which are mainly involved, e.g., 1st and 7th, 2nd and 8th, 3rd and 9th, 4th and l0th, 5th and 11th. 6th and 12th, etc.

In each case the results could be different, depending upon a number of other horoscopic factors. Generally it  is found, other combinations warranting.

The 6th-12th axis (i.e., Kalasarpa Yoga) could indicate incarceration, or spiritual elevation, depending upon the presence or absence of powerful Bandhana Yogas.

 If the axis involves the 1st and 7th houses,  it is not good for marital happiness. The marital life may become oppressive and marred by frequent clashes and want of understanding.

If the 7th lord or Venus is strongly placed and well disposed then the evil results should  not be predicted. The marital troubles can be avoided. Knowing in advance, the implications of this yoga,  one can regulate one's thinking and behavior and develop an understanding. 

Likewise if the houses involved are the 4th and 10th, setbacks may mark one's career unless the 10th house or the 10th lord is strong and well placed.

KSY has its bright & different shades. It makes one industrious, hard-working, aware of one's own ability despite  mental restlessness. It raises the natives to top positions in their respective fields provided of course other Raja Yogas are present.

Rahu-Kethu axis favours rise in mundane life while Kethu-Rahu axis indicates elevation in spiritual matters.

 It is also found that KSY natives get betrayed by trusted friends and even relatives.

Suffering due to developments in life strengthens the mind and mellows one’ s outlook. This is a blessing of KSY.

Other important factors to be noted are :-

(1) In a KSY horoscope, the evil gets intensified if the Lagna is between Ketu and Rahu;

(2) the evil gets almost neutralised if the Lagna is between Rahu and Ketu  and

(3) the yoga can be considered as defunct even if a single planet is with Rahu or Ketu or outside the axis.

The original sloka refers to agree rahu, i. e., Rahu must be the main or prominent planet which means the Yoga can become effective if planets are in between Rahu and Kethu. Another factor to be considered is if the planet associated with Rahu or Kethu is strongly disposed in his exaltation or own house, the intensity of the KSY gets reduced. The common fear that if KalaSarpa Yoga is fully  present the effects of other  good planetary combinations get nullified is not without justification. The r e  a r e horoscopes with excellent yogas showing great advancement and prosperity but the natives continue to be mediocre. A brilliant career may suddenly end. Such cases may have KSY but it may not be the main cause for making one what he is. it may be one of the causes.

It occurs to me that undue importance need not be given to KSY. The view held by some astrologers that KSY affects longevity and adversely affects the operation of other yoga’s favoring rise in life, Achievement and accomplishment is not tenable.

The overall assessment of the horoscope is important. No single yoga, including KSY, is capable of marring or making a horoscope. In my view Kalasarpa Yoga plays an important role in mundane astrology and is not of much importance in individual charts.

HOMA AND ABHISHEKHA

HOMA AND ABHISHEKHA 

According to Hindu Dharma, India’s ancient religious practice, certain ritual practices such as homas and abhishekas have the power to attract divine cosmic energy. These sacred ceremonies purify the earth’s atmosphere, uplift the community, and contribute to the health and prosperity of the person.

 A Homa is a holy fire ritual in which various forms of the Divine are invoked into the fire according to Vedic procedure. Special offerings are made into the fire while Sanskrit mantras are chanted. The combination of the powerful energy of the fire and the mantras creates purifying vibrations that are beneficial to all present and also to the entire world.

 Even the damaging effects of natural disaster can be reduced through the performance of homas. Every kind of negative karma can be purified by the sacred fire due to divine grace

Each homa  should be performed strictly according to the Hindu vedic scriptures. Homas are conducted by fully learned and experienced priest/scholars. The ingredients required for each homa is different, but the basic things will be ghee, coconut.

Each homa should be  performed after conducting sankalpa for the specific relief/benefit desired for each individual. During Sankalpa, one must tell their gothra, nakshatra, rashi & name to the vedic pundit/priest so that they can start chanting the mantra. The smoke, which comes out of the homa, is good for health as many ailments associated with breathing, gets cured.


Benefits of Homa
1.Negative effects will be minimized
2.Weak planets are strengthened
3.Disciplined mind, peace of mind
4.Quickness in action and result

An Abhisheka is a pooja involving the bathing of a sacred idol, with pure substances like milk or honey or panchamrutha accompanied by the chanting of specific mantras.

The substances that are poured over the idol also become charged with divine energy. The kumkum and vibhuthi that are used in the abhisheka are given as prasad as these substances contain the full energy of the pooja and transmit the blessings to anyone who touches them.

Same Nakshatra and Same Rashi Analysis

Same Nakshatra and Same Rashi Analysis

A. For Bride & Groom

If the Nakshatra of Bride and Groom is same and is one of following

a) Rohini,Aridra, Pushya, Magha, Vishakha, Shravana, Uttarabhadrapada, Revati then it is Auspicious.

b) Ashwini, Kruttika, Mrugashira, Punarvasu, Chitra, Anuradha, Purvabhadrapada then it is Medium Auspicious.

c) Rest of the Nakshtatras then it is Ashubha (Inauspicious)

d) Even if the Nakshatra of Bride and Groom are one, if the pada is different and the Pada of the Groom precedes that of the Bride then it is also considered to be Auspicious.

e) If the Bride's Nakshtara is one of - Ashwini, Kruttika, Rohini, Mrugashira, Ardra, Pushya, Magha, Hasta,Swati,Vishakha,Purvashada, Shatabishaka - it is auspicious if the Bride's Nakshatra precedes that of the Groom's.

f) If the Rashi of Bride and Groom is same but Nakshatra is different, then it is not necessary to take account of Nadi dosha and Gana Doshas. Similarly, if the Nakshatra is same but Padas are different, then also it is auspicious. There is no Dosha.

g) There is no Nadi Dosha if bride and bridegroom have same Janma Rashi but different Nakashtra.

h) There is no Nadi Dosha if bride and bridegroom have same Nakshtra, but different Janma Rashi

i) There is no Nadi Dosha if bride and bridegroom have same nakshatra but having different Charan or Pada

j) Marriage will be inauspicious if Boy’s Nakshatra is immediately after the girl nakashtra, ( Eg : if girl’s nakshatra is Anuradha and boy’s Nakshatra is Jyestha )

 Nadi Dosha relates to health, longevity and happiness of issues.

Same Nadi will cause problems (Regarding longevity of the partner), hence Maha Mrityunjaya Japa or Homa is a very power remedy for Nadi Dosha.

Mahamrityunjaya Japa/homa should be done on Monday’s in any Shiva temple.

B. For Father & Son

If the Nakshatra of Father and son is same then it indicates the following.

1.      Paternal curse or Ancestors or your parents are not happy with certain Deeds committed by you. You are bound to suffer. Hence Respect & Take care of your Elders(Parents/Father-in-Law/Mother-in Law/Grand Parents etc)

2.      You or your family members have stopped doing Annual Pitru tarpan Pooja (Shraddha Pooja). This pooja needs to be done every year without fail.

3.       This Dosha applies  to Father & Son only. Not applicable to Daughters and mothers.

4.     Eka Nakshatra Shanti pooja  need to be done for nullifying the affect of Dosha.

5. This Dosha is applicable when Father and son have same Nakshatra,  Pada/charan can be same or Different.

6. Son will suffer when he starts living seperately from his father.

7. Son will suffer from Health Problems & Finance/Money problems.

VEDIC GEMSTONE RECOMMENDATION

VEDIC GEMSTONE RECOMMENDATION

In Vedic astrology, gemstones are recommended based on your horoscope. It is believed that by wearing prescribed gemstones you can overcome the obstacles in your life.
The great Indian Astronomer cum astrologer VARAHAMIHIRA was first to know & study of gemstone, and its effects on human beings.

The effect of Gems is basically through the energy vibrations it creates when worn in the body and also through its colour.
It has since been scientifically proved and documented the various frequencies of energy vibrations emitted by the organic Gemstones. They vary from Gems to Gems and compares well with the energy vibrations to offset the imbalance produced in the human body.

The Planets bestow benefits and also cause ill effects as are aspected in the Rashi.

No Gemstone is always good or always bad. All Gemstone has positive & negative effects. Before you wear any gemstone, one should consult any good astrologer.

As general rule, only gemstone of strongest planets (Favorable) in one’s horoscope should be used to wear. Never wear gemstone by date of birth. (Sun sign)

The following table gives brief description of Planets, gemstone & God/Goddess of planets.
PLANET ------GEMSTONE-------GOD/GODDESS
Sun -----------Ruby--------------- Lord Shiva
Moon---------- Pearl -------------- Lord Shiva/Parvati/Durga Ma
Mars---------- Coral---------------Lord Subramanya/ Hanuman/Narasimha Swamy
Mercury------- Emerald----------- Vishnu/Parvati
Jupiter-------- Yellow-Sapphire -----Lord Shiva/Lord Brahma
Venus --------Diamond -------------Lakshmi/ DurgaMa
Saturn------- Blue-Sapphire --------Shani /Hanuman/Shiva
Rahu------- Gomed ----------------Lord Subramanya/Hanuman/Lord shiva
Ketu--------- Cat's eye -------------Ganesh/Bhairav

There are two types of philosophies in gemstone selection.
ANUKUL Choosing Method: A Vedic Gemstone will act "SAME" as it's planet - So gems should be chosen for Anukul (favorable) planets.
PRATIKUL Choosing Method: A Vedic Gemstone will act "OPPOSITE" of its planet - So gems should be chosen for Pratikul (unfavorable) Planets.

Anukul choosing method, in which one's auspicious (Anukul) planet(s) (exalted, moolatrikona stana, own sign, benefic, great friend, good house, owner of good house, etc.) is used for selection of gemstone, based on the concept that lucky planet = lucky gem.

Pratikul choosing method for overcoming a weak or evil planet, based on the misconception that a 'pratikul' (inauspicious) planet is strengthened by wearing it's gem and there by it changes from being inauspicious (pratikul) to become auspicious (anukul).
