In Vedic astrology, there are several rituals that can be performed to rectify or mitigate the negative effects of Kalasarpa dosha. One of the most commonly performed rituals is the Kalasarpa dosha puja, which involves worshiping Lord Shiva and other deities to seek their blessings and to neutralize the malefic effects of this dosha. Here are the steps for performing the Kalasarpa dosha puja:
Choose an auspicious day and time for performing the puja. The best day for performing the puja is believed to be on a Tuesday or a Saturday.
Take a bath and wear clean clothes. Offer flowers and light a lamp in front of Lord Shiva's idol.
Recite the mantras of Lord Shiva, such as "Om Namah Shivaya" or "Mahamrityunjaya Mantra."
Offer milk, honey, and other sweets to Lord Shiva.
Perform Abhishekam, which involves pouring milk and water on the Shiva Linga.
Recite the Kalasarpa dosha nivarana mantra. The most commonly used mantra is "Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Ketave Namah" and "Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Raahave Namah" for Rahu and Ketu respectively.
Offer prayers to Lord Rama and recite the Rama Raksha stotra.
Offer Dakshina (a token of respect) to the priests and seek their blessings.
Performing the Kalasarpa dosha puja with devotion and sincerity can help alleviate the negative effects of this dosha and bring peace and prosperity to one's life. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of the puja depends on various factors, including the individual's karma, faith, and the astrological chart.
