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 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.
