What is Shrapit Dosh?
‘Shrapit’ means ‘one who is under a curse due to one’s wrongdoings in a past life’. Shrapit Dosh forms when Saturn and Rahu occupy the same house. This is a highly malefic dosh that can influence all aspects of your life. Unpleasant events can take place in your daily life without any apparent reason if you have this Dosh in your birth chart. They will also keep happening repeatedly. This Dosh can also weaken the beneficial effects of other yogas and Mahadashas.
To have one’s past life karma pursuing you relentlessly in this lifetime is a great misfortune indeed. In astrology, Saturn is the planet of justice and karma, which rewards you for your good actions and punishes you for your evil deeds..
Shrapit Dosh passes on from one generation to another, unless one performs suitable remedies.
In this article, we will study the effects of Shrapit Dosh and the remedies we can do to reduce its adverse effects.
Understanding Shrapit Dosh
Shrapit Dosh, as mentioned earlier, forms when there is a Rahu-Saturn conjunction in the birth chart. Sins committed by the native in past lives, which the person did not repent, are believed to cause this Dosh. The native has to suffer the karmic consequences of such sins, which manifest in their current life.
The concept of Shrapit Dosh is rooted in Vedic astrology and Hindu mythology. As per the ancient scriptures and legends, Shrapit Dosh is the result of one’s past life karma, and its consequences can manifest in one’s current life.
The wrong actions and evil deeds committed in previous lives attract curses. The people who pronounce such curses may be sages, divine beings, or individuals who have spiritual powers. These curses, along with the accumulation of negative karma, result in various afflictions in future lives. Shrapit Dosh is one of them.
Shrapit Dosh is the result of the conjunction of Rahu (the North Node of the Moon) and Saturn (Shani) in the horoscope. Rahu signifies worldly desires, obsessions, and illusions, and Saturn represents karma, discipline, and life lessons. Both are powerful planets, and when they come together in a house, it can enhance the karmic effects, thereby leading to Shrapit Dosh.
Shrapit Dosh is often linked to misdeeds or sins committed by one in previous lives. These include causing harm to others, betraying a person’s trust, or doing immoral activities. When such actions are unaddressed or unrepented, their effects can carry forward as karmic imbalances. This leads to Shrapit Dosh in the native’s current life.
Shrapit Dosh works like a mechanism to balance one’s karma, as one has to face the consequences of one’s past actions. It gives one a chance to rectify and learn lessons from past mistakes. In this way, they can balance their karmic debts and achieve spiritual progress.
