It happens sometimes. With many people. Without any seeming reason, your ventures keep failing, you fall ill and are enveloped in gloom. No matter what you try, whichever way you go and however long you keep struggling, the miseries continue and all efforts remain fruitless.

Consult your astrologer. You may have the deadly Kaalsarpa Yoga. Its malefic effects will make even a person with a high degree of Raj yoga and whose planets are placed in exalted positions suffer endlessly. Despite excellent shadbala, avasthas, degrees and ashtakvargas, they may face unexpected doom.What is Kaalsarpa Yoga?It occurs when all the seven main planets are encircled by Rahu and Ketu in a birth chart.

Astrology is mocked as myth and astrologers as conmen who prey on the fears of susceptible humans. Yet, when disaster strikes, many seek ways to propitiate the stars and the planets, and find an expert astrologer who can suggest the proper methods (vidhis) that will bring succor. It’s trendy to insult those who don saffron and give spiritual instruction. But to the millions who throng the ashrams of gurus like Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi), Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and Maharajji Neem Karoli Baba, they represent grace and liberation as well as the promise of protection.The irony is that charlatans abound in all sciences. Whether it is the village abortionist or the back lane quack, medical science has its deviants. Billions of dollars go into scientific research to fund projects that only keep upturning the findings of the previous ones. Science is about faith in reason, while faith is about the miraculous science that keeps the universe going, its planets whirling in their lonely ellipses, and its stars burning, as it looks down on the follies of the human race.
