Kaal Sarpa Yoga is not mentioned by the great and prominent writers, in their classical ancient Indian astrological text, such as Varaha Mihira and Satyacharya. Discussions and disputes regarding this much-feared Dosha or Yoga in astrology are still going on.
There is nothing to worry! I have observed through deep study of text material and astrological chart readings of natives having Kaal Sarpa Yoga that they are very intelligent, energetic, hardworking and efficient in managing and planning for a bright future.
As I have noticed, there are many such prominent Leaders, sportsmen, scientists, businessmen, persons employed as civil services officers, I.I.T.students and others who are holding high positions in various corporate offices were born under Kaal Sarpa Yoga, though they faced lots of difficulties and obstacles in their lives.
Some of the examples are Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, Dhiru Bhai Ambani, and Sachin Tendulkar. I would like to conclude by saying that THINK POSITIVE. Kaal Sarpa Yoga might take you to the heights of success and achievements with the talent you have.

There are twelve forms of Kaal Sarpa Yoga based on twelve houses of an astrological birth chart, which have been named under the names of legendary serpents, by the Indian astrologers with their imagination. Associating the names of these legendary serpents with different forms of Kaal Sarpa Yoga is based on myth and it has no astrological significance.
