Heard the term “Kaal Sarp Dosh” in your horoscope and feeling a bit stressed? Don’t worry. In Vedic astrology, every problem has a solution. This dosh, formed by the planets Rahu and Ketu, might bring some challenges, but there are many simple and powerful remedies believed to bring great relief.
Let’s break them down.
What Exactly is Kaal Sarp Dosh?
Simply put, Kaal Sarp Dosh happens when all the planets in your birth chart are “hemmed in” between the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu. It’s believed that the effects of this dosh can be felt for a significant part of one’s life, sometimes up to the age of 42, often bringing unexpected hurdles.
But the good news is, you can reduce its impact!
Powerful Remedies for Kaal Sarp Dosh
Here are some of the most recommended ways to find balance and reduce the negative effects.
1. Wear Auspicious Rudraksha Beads
Rudraksha beads are considered very sacred and powerful. For Kaal Sarp Dosh, a combination of two specific beads is highly recommended:
- Eight Mukhi (8-faced) Rudraksha
- Nine Mukhi (9-faced) Rudraksha
Wearing these together is said to offer protection and bring many advantages.
2. The Gemstone Solution: Onyx (Gomed)
You can wear an Onyx gemstone, also known as Gomed.
- Why Onyx? This honey-coloured stone is strongly associated with the planet Rahu. It is believed to calm Rahu’s negative energy and bring balance, helping to clear the obstacles caused by Kaal Sarp Dosh.
3. Special Worship and Pujas
Faith and rituals can bring immense peace and positive energy.
- Visit a Temple: Worshipping at the Nag Devta (Serpent God) temple in Haridwar is considered very effective.
- Perform Pujas: You can ask a qualified Brahmin or priest to perform special pujas for Lord Shiva on your behalf. The most powerful ones for this dosh are Rudrabhishek and Jalabhishek.
Simple Rules for Wearing a Rudraksha
If you decide to wear a Rudraksha, here are a few simple guidelines to follow:
- Thread Color: Always wear it in a red or yellow string.
- Best Day to Start: The best time to wear a Rudraksha for the first time is on a Monday, a full moon day (Purnima), or a new moon day (Amavasya). Any day during the holy month of Sawan (Shravan) is also perfect.
- How Many to Wear: You can wear a single bead or a mala (rosary) of 27, 54, or 108 beads.
- For Children: For children under the age of 12, a Six Mukhi (Shanmukhi) Rudraksha is generally recommended.
