Most famous among them are Sri Yogi Nareyana (Kaiwara Thatha) who was a bangle seller who became great saint with blessings of lord Amara Narayana Sawamy and wrote Kalagnana.[1][2] Another saint Sri Madvirat Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy and Eswaridevi (the grand daughter of Veera Brahmendra Swamy). There are also other people who told Kalagnanam, like Yogi Subbaraya Sharma, Swami Madhavacharya (also called Vidyaranya, the minister of Harihara I) and Dudekula Siddaiah (the disciple of Veera Brahmendra Swamy).

A brief part of Kalagnanam written by Sri Veera Brahmendra Swamy, which was kept in his native place has been published in Telugu language as a book in 1970 for the first time, along with some other prophet's work. A large volume of the predictions made by Veera Brahmendra Swamy are said to be kept under the banyan tree of Banaganapalle village of Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. Out of the brief context of Kalagnanam said by Veera Brahmendra Swamy, 320 verses or poems are very popular with name "Govinda Vakyas".
