If you are going through a bad bout in life and no matter what you do, things fail to change, what do you do? Usually, when you are at your wit’s end about the bad phase of life, you consult an astrologer to see if something is wrong with the cosmic energies associated with you. After studying you raashi, birth star, time of birth and other parameters, the astrologer arrives at a conclusion that you suffer from a negative “dosh”. Kaal Sarpa Yog or Mangal Dosha are two such dosh that you could be burdened with.
What exactly are these dosh?
According to Hindu astrology, which is based on the moon contrary to Western astrology that is based on the sun, the planetary motions of the universe have a lot of influence on human beings. Depending on the alignment of planets, they impress either positive or negative energies on a person. When planets are aligned in a manner that impresses negativity at the time of your birth, your life gets hit with the negativity. Depending on the negative alignment of planets, you could either suffer kaal sarpa yog or Mangal Dosha.
Rahu and Kethu
Rahu and kethu planets are the two demons of Hindu astrology and the cause for most of the negativities. So, when the rest of the planets are aligned in between these two, it is considered to be a very bad omen and results in Kaal Sarp Yog. There are twelve kinds of kaal sarp yog, also called kaal sarp dosh, depending on the impact of planetary alignment at the time of birth. Mangal Dosha is caused because of the unfavorable positioning of planet Mars. Both these kinds of dosh bring problems in professional and personal lives.
How Real Are these Dosh?
Reality or authenticity of these dosh is always under speculation. While the hardcore believers of ancient arts of astrology swear by these principles, the modern generation begs to differ.
However, if you consider the scientific angle, these principles do make a lot of sense. You cannot deny that planets do have an impact on the energies within you and these energies make you behave in a certain way. The energies within you lead you in life. So, when there are a lot of negative energies pressing you down, especially when the energies are from the universe, you might be affected in some manner.
The counterargument is that people born in the same bad phase might not have the same bad affects. People argue that it is ultimately the mental strength of a person that triumphs over everything else, which is very true.
Astrology is not a precise art. The proficiency of the astrologer plays the most crucial role in the whole thing. Yet, astrology, which is based on ancient Vedic science, is a profoundly scientific principle. If you look at it from this point of view, then yes, these yog and dosh are for real.
