Naga Dosham - Information and Remedies

NAGA DOSHAM Sarpa means Snakes ! Who is not afraid of snakes? Hence we are also scared of these two doshas in our natal chart - Naga Dosha and Kalasarpa Dosha. However, if the Girl and Boy horoscopes are matched properly, there is no need to worry. Sarpa Yoga is also known as Sarpa Dosha or Naga Dosha. It is caused due to wrath of the Serpent God in previous birth. Due to Sarpa Yoga, marriages are delayed or ruined, Progeny may be denied, miscarriages/Abortion will occur. Sarpa Yoga (Sarp Dosh or Naga Dosha) is different from Kal Sarpa Yoga / Dosha (KSY). Naga Dosha in the ancient tradition was caused from a previous birth when either you or your ancestors killed or harmed snakes instead of revering and respecting them. Snakes, called “Naga”, are mystical and powerful. They can grant you great boons or curses respectively. Snakes are also closely associated with Kundalini and many forms of the Goddess. Vindictiveness against or mistreatment of women, particularly spiritual women in practice of enlightenment or other psychic pursuits, also generate a Snake curse on you and future generations. Severe negativity or blasphemy against Goddess worship can likewise cause Naga Dosha. Sarpa Dosha can delay marriage and progeny/children.
