Calculate Kal Sarpa Dosha: Reasons, Effects, & Remedies

Has life become more challenging than usual? Are you feeling frustrated because regardless of what you do, things aren’t going right? You may be dealing with the effects of a dosha.

In your kundali (birth chart), you may notice that due to the positions of the planets, you were born with a number of ‘yogas’ or ‘doshas’. These doshas may have both positive and negative effects on your life.

One such dosha that has negative effects is kal sarpa dosha. Kal sarpa dosha is believed to occur when you killed a snake in your previous life or your ancestors are unhappy. Kal sarp dosha is considered to be the most malefic of all doshas.

About Kalsarpa Dosh
