Kaal Kundli is a very devious, learned, and arrogant character in the Bhokal series of Raj Comics. It is a common belief that God writes the fate of mankind, but Kaal Kundli considers himself the creator of the earth. He claims that he can change any person’s destiny by erasing their fate. He has the supernatural power to make the movements of planets, constellations, and stars dance on his fingers and alter the combinations in a person’s horoscope.
Background and origin of Kaal Kundli
Kaal Kundli is the favorite disciple of Sage Yogeshwar, a great scholar of Tantra-Mantra and astrology. After receiving his early education from Guru Yogeshwar, he stayed away from the world for several decades to transform his knowledge into Parashakti. He performed secret penance while living in trenches thousands of feet deep in the Himalayas. After years of arduous penance and pursuit of knowledge, he returned as a Siddha Parashakti wielder and bowed at the feet of his Guru Yogeshwar.
When Kaal Kundli requested his Guru to ask for Gurudakshina, Rishi Yogeshwar demanded that he make the arrogant Bhokal bow at his feet and restore the lost royal honor of the era of King Vikas Mohan in Vikasnagar. Kaal Kundli immediately accepted this vow and resolved to humiliate Bhokal and destroy him.
Supernatural abilities and the power of horoscope shuffling
Kaal Kundli has the unique power to change the laws of fate by altering the letters in a person’s horoscope. A young man in Vikasnagar died on his wedding day due to ‘Mrityu Yoga’. Kaal Kundli changed his horoscope to increase his lifespan to 100 years, which immediately brought the young man back to life.
• Accident Yoga: He wrote ‘Accident Yoga’ in Bhokal’s horoscope, due to which everything around him, including swans, celestial vultures, and Bhokal’s own chariot, became his enemy, and terrible accidents started happening continuously.
• Handicapped Yoga: He destroyed Bhokal’s fairy-like divine wings by having them cut off through Shikara, a hunter.
• Insult Yoga: To break Bhokal through self-guilt and humiliation, he placed ‘Insult Yoga’ in his horoscope.
• Mental Coma Yoga: With the aim of taking control of Vikasnagar, he wrote this yoga in the horoscope of Queen Mohini, due to which she fell from the ramparts and went into a deep coma.
• Prosperity Yoga and Rajyoga: To win the trust of the people, he erased ‘Daridra Yoga’ from the horoscopes of poor people, wrote ‘Prosperity Yoga’, and became the acting king of Vikasnagar by writing ‘Rajyoga’ in his own horoscope.
• Prana Vayu Yoga and Barrier Yoga: During cosmic journeys, he could obtain oxygen from the atmosphere with the help of ‘Prana Vayu Yoga’ and create ‘Barrier Yoga’ in the path of his enemies.
Extreme insult to the kingdom and Bhokal in Vikasnagar
After becoming the acting king, Kaal Kundli called his Guru Yogeshwar to the royal court and planned to humiliate Bhokal. Bound by the king’s orders, Bhokal had to crawl on his chest from the ashram to Sage Yogeshwar. After this, he had to carry Sage Yogeshwar on his shoulders and run like a horse to the palace.
On the orders of Kaal Kundli in the royal court, Bhokal picked up the sage’s Khadaun with his own hands. After this, Kaal Kundli announced that Bhokal should forget his position as the protector of the kingdom and clean Sage Yogeshwar’s feet with his tongue. Seeing Bhokal’s loyalty to the throne, the commander, the general secretary, and the people of Vikasnagar opposed this humiliation. Kaal Kundli then wrote ‘Mrityu Yoga’ in Bhokal’s horoscope.
The main crisis of Kaal Kundli: The double-edged weapon of ‘Mrityu Yoga’
As soon as Kaal Kundli wrote ‘Mrityu Yoga’ in Bhokal’s horoscope, Yamraj, the God of Death, appeared and bound Bhokal’s soul with his death noose. At the same time, Kaal Kundli realized his greatest mistake. It was written in his own horoscope that the moment Bhokal died, he would also die.
Trembling with fear for his life, Kaal Kundli immediately changed Bhokal’s horoscope and wrote ‘Long Life Yoga’. Because of this, Yamraj had to stop, and Bhokal survived.
The journey to the seventh heaven and the crooked conspiracy
When Vikasnagar was attacked by an immortal demon named ‘Sankata’, Kaal Kundli came to know that only Turin’s soul could destroy him. But his real objective was not to end Sankata, but to reach Mahamrityu Dev, who was seated in the seventh heaven.
Kaal Kundli knew that only Bhokal had the ability to cross the difficult paths, deadly questions, and terrible crises of the seven heavens. So he folded his hands, asked Bhokal for help, and took him on a journey to the seventh heaven. During this journey, Bhokal crossed all the heavens with his intelligence and bravery by giving correct answers to difficult puzzles related to gravity, the Panchbhoots, the water and blood of other heavens, volcanic smoke, cutting the front of the nails, and ‘Teen Jane’.
After reaching the seventh heaven, Kaal Kundli received a boon from Mahamrityu Dev through his cleverness and obtained an order from Yamraj that his death yoga should be separated from Bhokal’s death yoga.
Yamraj’s clever move and the defeat of Kaal Kundli
After being separated from the death yoga, Kaal Kundli became very happy and returned to earth with the souls of Bhokal and Turin. As soon as he returned, he pointed his sword at Bhokal and announced that now their chances of death had been separated, so he would kill Bhokal and establish his sole rule over the entire earth.
At the same time, Yamraj appeared and cleared Kaal Kundli’s misunderstanding. He explained that the separation carried out in the seventh heaven applied only to the atmosphere there and not to the earth. If Kaal Kundli killed Bhokal on earth, he too would die.
On hearing this, Kaal Kundli trembled with fear. When Bhokal placed his cataclysmic sword on Kaal Kundli’s neck, he accepted his defeat.
Kaal Kundli: Strength, ego, and greatest weakness
The character of Kaal Kundli shows that despite possessing deep knowledge of astrology, Tantra, and the planets and stars, ego and crookedness ultimately lead to destruction. His greatest irony is that despite being Bhokal’s biggest enemy, he can never kill him because his own death is linked to Bhokal’s death.
In the end, to save his own life, Kaal Kundli had to remove ‘Durbhatma Yoga’ from Bhokal’s horoscope and, by changing Turin’s horoscope, had to bring him back to life so that Sankata could finally be defeated.
Kaal Kundli is a villain who has the ability to bring even the greatest Mahabali of the universe to his knees, not with weapons, but through the equations of paper, pen, sacred texts, and constellations.
