ABSTRACT Kalasarpayoga is of two kinds; one is called the “Anuloma” and the other the “Viloma” The “Anuloma” type produc-
es excellent results, whereas the “Viloma” type produces undesirable results. In Anuloma type, Rahu is ahead within
the six rasis from the lagna and Ketu occupies a position behind all the planets. Here, one will acquire higher position with all beneficent
results. In Viloma type, Ketu is ahead within the six rasis from the lagna and Rahu is posited behind all the planets. Here, one will suffer the
maximum and lose his benefits.When all the planets are located or locked up between Rahu and Ketu, the planets can arrange themselves in
various possible positions to activate the Kalasarpa yoga.
