K B Gopalakrishnan is one of the few astrologers who has predicted major events like the Iraq War, End of Taliban rule et al. Though he says, "I brushed it aside", the predictions have mostly come true. His list of true mundane predictions is impressively long, and he attributes his success story to his personal deity and his guru grace.

His programme on Jaya TV 'Vazhum Kalai' was a smash hit programme and made him a household name.
