Brigu Patra - Manju

[Guest guest]

Om Sri Sai Ram.

I understand that sister Manju is enquiring about the popular "Naadi"

astrology - called as "Naadi Josiyum" in Tamil.

 

"Patra'" means leaf. The astrological predictions of ( supposed to

be ) all people of the earth are believed to have been written

on "Palm" leaves many many years ago by sages and saints.

Incidentally "Brigu" is the name of one such famous sage in Hindu

Mythology.

 

There are similar schools of such astrological collections of these

palm leaves - like "Agasthiar Naadi", "Sughar Naadi" etc., There is

one temple town in Tamil Nadu known as "Vaitheeswaran Koil" where

huge collections of such palm leaves are stored within some selective

astrologer families. But of late ( in the past 10 to 20 years or so )

when the public awareness of such palm leaves increased, these palm

leaves collections are spread out to cities and other towns and now

you can find atleast once such center in each tow of Tamil Nadu - and

in the process the genuineness and the authenticty of such disbursed

palm leaves became a matter of question. Added to this is the

commercialisation of the astrological business and there are many

businessmen who claim to be having more "patra" than the other !

 

I too have a similar experince regarding my own life and happenings.

I was amazed to see that without revealing none of my identity

(except a thumb impression and the date of birth) the astrolger could

draw out the particular section of the palm leaf set pertaining to me

and in which my parents' names and even my wife's name were

mentioned, in addition to my own ! It is believed that for each

person the set of leaves will consist of about 50 to 100 leaves which

may be divided into separate phases of life - like childhood; youth;

marital;occupation; etc. And naturally the astrologer charges slab

rates for consulting each phase and your eagerness to learn more of

your future, career etc will attract more demanding price by the

astrolger.

 

There are reports that such naadi exists confirming the avatarhood of

our Beloved Swamy also.

"c) In India, palm leaf books known as "Nadis" are available

in many states in which fantastic predictions in great detail can be found

regarding many persons. For example, this author's name, his

parents' names, his wife's name, his place of birth, his place of work,

his date of birth etc. have been predicted hundreds of years ago in palm

leaves by some great seer!

 

In one such "Nadi", the predictions regarding Satyanarayana

Raju (the childhood name of Baba) mention his being an "Avatar amongst

the Avatars" and about his "starting of schools and

hospitals".

 

Another Nadi mentions about his capacity to take on the illnesses of

beings to save them from the curse and ill-will of others. One more

nadi seems to have described Baba as the "Krishna of this

Kali-Age".

 

Reference can be made to Suka Nadi, Dr.Herbert B Puryear - Director

of Assn.for research and Enlightenment, Virginia Beach, Virginia,US,

Mother Mary's revelations in Yugoslavia etc.

 

Indeed scholarly persons are studying these Nadis and in some future

year their findings are likely to be astounding and confirm the

identity of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as the Avatar."

"(b) Dr. E.V.Sastri, a prominent member of the Indian Astro Occult

Research Association, New Delhi, during the course of his research,

found out `Nandi Grantham' available in Tamil Nadu, which had

all the indications about Sathya Sai Baba's horoscope written by a famous

erudite Pundit, some five hundred years ago. It was written on a

piece of palm leaf of the size 36 centimeters long and 2 ½ cms

broad.

It reads : `The person to whom this horoscope relates and whose

name is Sathyanarayana Raju will renounce the world in his boyhood, will

start schools and hospitals, will publish books for the upliftment of

the World, will spend every day of his whole lifetime for the

establishment of Dharma, which is his ideal and objective'. It is

further mentioned that, "He will be an Avatar amongst the

Avatars".
