The Mystery of Kal-Sarpa Yoga

Most of us have had the horrid experience of going to an astrologer and the astrologer declaring that we have something very bad in the horoscope called ‘ Kal - Sarpa Yoga'. The astrologer goes on to say that if a particular pooja is not performed at Nasik , then we are doomed!

What is this this Kal - Sarpa yoga?

Kal means ‘Death' and Sarpa means ‘ Snake'.

 Simply stated a Kal - Sarpa Yoga is formed when all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu. This means that in a Kal Sarpa only one side of the horoscope has all the planets between Rahu and Ketu. It very nearly looks like a snake in it's formation. It is said that Rahu is the Mouth or the Face of the Snake and Ketu is the Tail of the snake.

 Kal - Sarpa Yoga has been given this name because  it is caused by the two principal mischief makers Rahu and Ketu and it resembles a snake in it's formation.

 Manifestations or Symptoms of Kal- Sarpa:

 Some of the most common manifestations of Kal - Sarpa are:

A. Repeated dreams involving snakes.
B. Dreams of being chased or thrown down from a cliff
C. Snakes being found in the house.

 Destruction of Kal - Sarpa:

 There are many instances where the Kal - Sarpa present in the horoscope gets broken or destroyed ( bhanga ) due to other astrological combinations. HENCE IT IS ALWAYS NECESSARY TO FACTUALLY VERIFY WHETHER A PERSON IS SUFFERING FROM KAL SARPA ,BY ASKING HIM ABOUT HIS DREAMS.

 Please always believe in FACTS and not in illusions. It is possible that a person has kal sarpa in the horoscope but it may have got broken.

 Remedies for Kal- Sarpa:

 The greatest remedy for Kal- Sarpa is the worship of Lord Shiva. However in extreme cases it would be prudent to have a Shiv - Ling installed in the house with the appropriate mantras. Please do remember that after the worship the problem of snakes must come down substantially. If not then the remedy would have to be changed.

 Case histories:

1. A family of five come to me and declared ‘ Our Pandit told us that we all have Kal - Sarpa due to which we are having problems in the house . We went to Nasik and got the puja done. However nothing has worked !! '.
 A close examination of the horoscope revealed that only the father had Kal - Sarpa Yoga in the horoscope which too had been broken.
 The actual problem was with their house which had a Vaastu - dosh. On shifting their residence all their problems disappeared.

2. An elderly lady met me the other day and complained ‘ I do not get sleep in the night and I always get snakes in the dreams. ‘ The horoscope revealed a strong Kal-Sarpa Yoga for which I advised Shiv worship. Even after that things did not recede and hence a large Shiv Ling was installed in the house with the appropriate mantras. She was also given special mantras to ward off her fears.

 Realities of Kal-Sarpa:

 Kal-Sarpa, if manifest, in the horoscope can cause immense trouble while sleeping and staying alone in homes and needs to be rectified. Kal-Sarpa is always not bad. Some of our prominent personalities have Kal-Sarpa yoga in their horoscopes. Going to Nasik or Trambakeshwar is not the only solution for this Yoga. It would be determined on the basis of the horoscope as to which remedy would work.

 Conclusion:

 It maybe concluded that Kal-Sarpa is no reason for getting paraniod. Please factually verify if you have Kal-Sarpa in your chart. 

Astrology and the Supernatural

Introduction:

 Many a times we hear of miracles. People escape from accidents. There are sole survivors in plane wrecks. Some patients survive complicated and tedious operations. Were they fated to survive? Or was there any other force that saved them? We still debate as to whether there is free will or is everything pre - destined? Is our life completely pre-planned or can we do something about it?

 Astrology is a divine craft that predicts the life patterns of individuals with uncanny precision. It draws up your fate , destiny and success. But is there something beyond astrology that can change your fate ? Yes there is -The Supernatural.

 A serious student of astrology is always taught that there is : 80 % FATE and 20% FREE WILL. Now let us concentrate upon this 20 % free will.

 In this context it means the power of :

 1.curses
 2.blessings and
 3 prayers.

 These 3 above mentioned factors CAN and DO change our lives.

1. Curses:

 If we browse through most of the religious scriptures or famous doctrines we shall find a curse that has changed the course of the story. We are always told not to trouble our parents because if they curse us WE ARE DOOMED. Curses can single handedly change your fate and over ride your fate and stars.
 Hence do not:

A. deliberately harass your parents or
B. harm or injure animals or
C. cause disrespect to elderly people.

2. Blessings:

 The complete opposite theory applies to blessings. It is said that a single powerful blessing can burn away thousands of bad karmas. The best source for blessings are your parents and elders. However , blessings have to be from the heart and not artificial or induced by money.

3. Prayers:

 The power of prayer can rescue you from the mouth of death. It is said that the word of God is more powerful than a thousand injections and medicines. Science has now discovered that prayer healing has tangible healing effects on hospitalised patients. A strong prayer from someone who loves you can change the course of your life and take away all your miseries.

 Conclusion:

 So we can see that though astrology defines our fate patterns, there are forces stronger than it , which can change our lives for the better or worse. WE ONLY NEED TO BELIEVE! 

Astrology and extra marital affairs

EXTRA - MARITAL AFFAIRS AND YOUR HOROSCOPE

 Introduction:

The disposable era has arrived. Today everything is quick , fun and disposable- right from eye lenses to relationships. Being monogamous is passe. Having an affair after marriage is trendy! Does the horoscope show or indicate extra marital affairs or flirtatious propensities? Well , it certainly does and it also reveals the reasons for the affair.

Anatomy of an extra martial affair:

 An extra marital affair generally takes place due to the following reasons:
 1. Unsatisfied sexual needs
 2. Incompatibility of personalities
 3. Lack of intimacy
 4. Boredom
 5. Peer pressure ( all my friends are having affairs so why shouldn't I?)

 Most of the people who meet me for consultations confess about having an affair or of being attracted to the opposite sex. My experience shoes that: Women tend to be guilty about such relationships while men don't care.
 80% of women flirt because their husbands treat them like dirt while 90% of men just want to have variety in sex. Women also tend to get emotionally attached to the other partner knowing that they will not divorce their current husbands.

 Astrological analysis of an extra marital affair:

 So why the hell do people get into extra marital affairs? Do the stars have an answer? Yes they do !

 From the astrological point of view, the following planets and houses deserve special attention:

1. Venus: the planet of love and lust. The primary driver for exotic relationships is venus. If you have a venus with mars or a hyper active venus you are sure to flirt! However a venus with uranus can make you a sex maniac or a pervert who has affairs to satisfy his/her sexual obsessions.

2. Jupiter ( guru ) : the planet of goodness and religion. It is only when you have a weak jupiter would you think of an extra marital affair. Your conscience does not bite you and you feel you have done nothing wrong! A strong guru will prevent flirtations.

3. The 5th house : the 5th house stands for love , romance , scandals and is the primary indicator of affairs. The classical combinations for such relations are - venus -rahu in the 5th or mars venus in the 5th house.

4. The 7th house: the 7th house stands for marriage. A strong 7th house means that you will never have affairs because you are devoted to your husband.

5. The 8th house : the 8th house indicates sexual attitudes, orgasm , masturbation etc. The 8th house indicates whether the affair will be physical or not.

 Predicting extra marital affairs:

 Is it possible to predict when you will have an affair or when your current affair will break off? Absolutely! With the proper charts, the following can be easily and fairly accurately predicted:

 When are most likely to have an affair? Will there be multiple affairs or just one? Are the affairs due to lust or emotional dependancies? Will you find a cheat or a good lover?

Conclusion:

 So the next time you doubt that your spouse is having an affair, instead of going to the detective it would be desirable to get his or her chart checked!

ASTROLOGY AND BLACK MAGIC

 

Introduction:

"Mere pe kisi ne kuch kar diya hai" is the usual complaint one hears from people facing unexplained problems. People are now beginning to face black magic and its ill effects. But is there really something like black magic? Does it really work ? And if it does work , how does one counter it? Let us explore the topic.

What is black magic? 

In order to understand black magic, one must learn and understand magic. Magic is as old as mankind itself. The history of magic shows that it existed in egypt, rome, India, China, Arabia, Tibet etc. A simple definition of  magic is that it coerces spiritual beings or forces. Magic tries to manipulate the spirits- or impersonal spiritual forces seen as flowing throughout nature- mechanically , in  the same way that one uses electricity by turning it on or off. 

According to available literature there are two types of magic white ( natural ) magic and black or demonic magic. Black magic is also a critical part of sorcery and  sometimes of witch craft. Whenever magic is intended for the harm or for the detriment of a person , or home or nation  it turns black.. Black magic uses talismans, spells, incantations and evocation of spirits. 

Hence it is intent and the motivation which seperates the two forms of magic. White magic is also very old and is used for curing diseases, blessing people etc. when the intent is for personal gain or wealth or causing harm to to others , magic becomes black and evil. 

How does black magic work?

The mechanism of  black  magic works on 2 simple principles viz:

1.      The human aura: 

The human aura is always the first object of attack for a practitioner of black magic. Hence one hears and reads that a tantrik uses hear or clothes of the person which contains the essence of the aura. 

2. powerful  visualisation:

The black magic practioner has developed the art of powerful visualisation which is transmitted to the person my making a doll or wax replica of the person involved. It is also called the Law of Correspondences and hence what is performed on the doll , really happens to the person concerned. 

Can black magic be detected from the birth horoscope?

There are definite interlinkages between astrology and black magic. The horoscope is a device which indicates propensity to black magic. Hence certain combinations in the chart do make a person more prone to the ill effects of black magic. These combinations are:

- moon and rahu in the 8^th house or

- a severe kal sarpa yoga with moon and ketu in the 5 th house

- excessive planets in the 8^th or 12^th house. 

Symptoms of black magic:

Most of the times people confuse bad events with black magic or acts of sorcery. The most common symptoms to  look  out for in case of  black magic are: 

1.      Objects  such as uncut lemons, sindur , or human shaped dolls being found in the house.

2.      Bout of unexplained sicknesses which yield no medical explanation

3.      A sense of uneasiness or heaviness in a  particular section of the house.

4.      In certain cases strange sounds, or  voices may be heard. 

Even in the above mentioned cases, there must be a thorough rational examination of the events  before one jumps to black magic. Hence a  succession of bad events can be an astrological influence if one is passing through a bad phase or fate period. 

Black magic  v/s  superstition:

In most cases people confuse black magic with a string of bad incidents involved. Please do not mix apples with oranges. ONE MUST RATIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY eliminate all options before coming to the conclusion of black magic. DO NOT FALL PREY TO PEOPLE WHO SCARE YOU WITH BLACK MAGIC REMEDIES. 

Remedies for black magic:

After having confirmed that one is a victim of black magic, the simplest thing to do is use simple amulets to protect oneself and the home. The nature of the amulet would be dictated by the religions inclinations one has and believes in. For example the Hindu would benefit from a Swastika, the Christian from the Cross and the Muslim by the words ' Allah Akbar' .
The amulet derives power from your faith in your God. The Egyptians believed in the Scarab or even the Cat.

Conclusion:

There is an unseen world of sprits and  other powerful entities. Generally they don’t interfere with our world if we don’t interfere with them. There are professional sorcerers who undertake to cause harm or detriment but we must remember 'AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP'.
