These nadi palm leaves have been around for centuries. In India you can find them at museums and they deal with subjects as varied as astrology to astronomy and science, medicine etc. The vast majority of our knowledge (palm manuscripts) & wealth has already been taken away (looted) by foreigners when they ruled India. Once can find them in foreign museums (the ones that have been decipered and knowledge taken) What little bit is left is now being rediculed by sckeptics and ignorant folks and non believers. That is the sorry state of India's cultural and knowledge heritage. As to my experience, I had an opportunity a month back to have my nadi readings read at Tambaram. I was 1000% satisfied. All those who are on the border line on whether to believe or not believe, I would say do not get influenced by the ignorant folks. Have faith in your hertiage and culture. There is no way the nadi readers can mind read and they do not ask leading questions that result in your giving them the answers. That is just not true. All they do is take each palm leaf and read to you the key profile details for the person the reading is meant for. Like reading the header of a page. If it does not fit your profile, you would say NO and they go to the next profile. Once your profile is located, the details are very very accurate and the horoscope they chart is 100% accurate. Believe or not, its your gain or loss.
We do not need a foreign TV program to tell us about our heritage. But then that is the sad truth in India now. Everything foreign is 100% good and acceptable and if its Indian and related to Hinduism and from the past, well you gota be 10,000 % correct before they believe. Yoga has already been exploited by foreigners and made into a money making machine. God bless India and our culture and wealth.
