I am exploring a branch of Indian astrology (Jyotish) called

Nadisastra. Th= is refers to divinatory writings, predictive far

into the future of the liv= es of individuals destined to have a

reading. These writings, often written= on a surface such as palm

leaf, are attributed to great sages (often Vedic= ), such as

Bhrigu, Shuka, Agasthya, and some to deities like Shiva, Ganesha=

, Surya, Nandi, Meenakshi, Rajeswari. There are a good many other

naadis, o= ften very little known - e.g., Shukra, Druva, Amsa,

Kousika, Koumara, Kakbh= usandi, Bhoga, Pullipani, Vashista,

Vishwamitra, Parasara, Sahadeva, Kashya= pa ...

 

Some collections I have personally spent a lot of time

exploring. I have al= so entered a vast correspondance with many

people (mostly Indian or oversea= s resident Indian) who have had

readings from various nadi collections in v= arious parts of

India. Already, I have collective weighty evidence that som= e

nadis are astonishingly accurate. One question is to what extent

some nad= i readers consciously inject something of their own

into a reading. Another= concerns well-meaning but inaccurate

translation. One area which needs ext= ensive research into Tamil

history is why nadi jyothisham, mainly in regard= to the Agasthya

tradition, is so highly organised and widespread in Tamil = Nadu.

 

This best case accuracy is true of the predictions for one's

future, but th= ere is more than this. One's nadi can be

identified and brought from a naad= i library (which are in the

keeping of traditional families who strictly ho= ld on to them)

by means, e.g., only of the taking of an intending subject's=

thumb print (female, left; male, right), or by the measuring of

one's shad= ow. =

 

Observing some fundamental rules of empirical validation, I

have been able,= a great many times, to confirm that by such

means alone, a subject can fin= d a reading in his or her own

name(s), date of birth, parent name(s), spous= e's name, uniquely

referring bio-data. There is past life and future life (= if any)

data. One way of confirming past life material is to compare a

subj= ect's readings in different nadi traditions.

 

(I should point out, too, that fraudulence - sometimes highly

expert - is a= lso encountered in some places, and my work has

been able to document vario= us methods by which this is

effected). =

 

Another question is whether - and if so, to what degree - a

great sage (pas= t or present) could manage to be so incredibly

correct in being able to pre= dict at such a profound level. Was

astrology the means? Or was it superabun= dant yogic power?

 

To assist my study (which is a long-term one), I trust you

will be able (as= so many respondants have already so

tremendously well done) to let me know= any thoughts, findings,

experiences, and also pass my query to to friends,= associates,

etc.
