What is Brahma Shraapa?

Brahma Shraapa ("curse of a priest or scholar") is the heaviest of the shraapas, read when Jupiter (the karaka of gurus, dharma and Brahmins) and the 9th house of dharma are afflicted by Rahu, Ketu or Saturn. It points to carried-over karma around wisdom and respect for teachers, softened by devotion and service.
