Sarpa Yoga (Sarpa Dosha / Naga Dosha)

By Bala Mishra

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). Many astrologers/writers have written about Kal Sarpa Yoga/Dosha. I will not talk about Kal Sarpa Yoga/Dosha but only about Sarpa /Naga Dosha.
