Kalsarp Yoga

What is the Kalsarpa yoga :-

Before you do any remedies for the Kalsarpa Yoga make sure that all planets are between Rahu and Ketu.Even if there is one planet outside the Rahu Ketu axis the Kalsarpa Yoga does not exist. do not confuse Kalsarpa yoga with Nag/Naga Dosha or Karaka Dosha.
