Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 An interesting e-mail I sent two days ago to my friend and Anna in Arizona... Dear Ravi Anna, You were asking about Naadi readers the other day. Actually I know one old man(around 75 years or so) who does what is called Jeeva Naadi. (Y.Mohana Sundaram,Agasthya Upasaka Agathiar Jeeva Nadi Astrological Bureau Old No.1/1 New No. 3, East Mada Street,Nungambakkam Chennai-34 Tamilnadu India. E-mail:agathiarjeevanadi phone:044-28221744 cell:9840972333 I do not know who operates the e-mail...but if u go personally it will cost u only rs.200 per question/kaandam) Jeeva naadi as the name suggests is a 'live' Naadi...unlike other naadis where your future has been inscribed already.Jeeva Naadi letters appear fresh(either before your eyes or a few minutes before.). The man knows of your arrival and keeps your leaf or the stack ready. Nadi Astrology is an ancient Indian method of Astrology to learn about one's past, present and the future. It is said that thousands of years ago, the great sages of Indian had the power to look into the past and future of the entire universe and recorded the life of each human being who either lived, were living or were to live. At some point of time , these discussions were written on palm leaves in an ancient Tamil script, which can now only be deciphered by expert Nadi astrologers. Nadi in Tamil means “ in search of“. Because one individual goes in search of his details in the nadi, this system came to be called by this name. The palm leaf inscriptions are scattered throughout India. Some of these palm leaf inscriptions available in Tamilnadu were standardized, ordered and classified in Tamil Nadu nearly 1000 years ago during the reign of the Cholas in South India. There are Number of Nadis available named after the Rishis who composed the same. There are only a few Nadi readers available who could interpret the inscriptions which are written in the poetic language. There are various Nadis available like Agathiya Naadi, Suka Nadi, Brahma Nadi, Kausika Nadi ,Mahaa shiva vaakyam,etc. Each Nadi is made up of a particular ola or palm leaf, written in Vatta Ezhuthu , a Tamil script, with a sharp, nail-like instrument called Ezhuthani. The palm leaves are preserved by rubbing peacock oil on auspicious occasions. These palm leaves are still preserved in the Saravasti Mahal library of Tanjore(Thanjavur), in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The primary centre for Nadi Shastra is in Vaitheeswarankoil, near Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu, a state in South India. The palm leaf inscription of an individual is spotted out by his thumb impression. Lines on the thumb of people on the earth are are classified into 108 types. The Nadi palm leaves are arranged according to these types. The Nadi readers identify the particular types of lines on the thumb and the corresponding set of palm leaves are taken.The time duration to pick up your leaf depends upon the identification of the thumb impression. Some impressions are identified easily and the corresponding leaves are found soon. Leaves are there not only for Indian nationals but also for foreigners and other nationals belonging to other religions and creeds.Destiny has leaves for those who wished to have their readings. It is also stated that about 40% of the people in the world only are likely to get these results as available.The other leaves might have been damaged or lost in the course of time. I have found that some predictions do not fructify. Unfortunately the 'Tamil' is arcane(in most probability it is an ancient Dravidian language espoused by Agasthya as it seesm to be a combo of Tamil and Telugu script). Why the predictions 'fail' is because of the interpretation of the reader. Though the old man is an honest man sometimes out of senility(though this is an indecent term to use) or due to some memory lapse or even plain lack of understanding(for example not many know when the word 'vidya' refers to 'knowledge' and when the word refers to 'mantra') the 'predictions' and 'readings' go wrong. A naadi leaf will look like this sometimes and then it is impossible to decode what it means except by an expert naadi reader.even then he assumes certain things....so sometimes u just have to be with your fingers crossed permanently i guess(till the event) The origin of the nadi inscriptions can be traced back to approximately 2000 years ago. It is said that the ancient Indian Rishis or sages had written the lifepatterns of each person on palm leaves by their Yogic Intuitive powers. These unique leaves were initially kept in the Saraswati Mahal library of Tanjore city (Thanjavur ) of Tamilnadu State in India. (Thiruvannamalai, Arunachaleshwara Alayam where some ancient suvadis are found apart from Chidambaram Vaitheeswaran Koil) Later during the British Rule, the British sold these leaves to the locals who very very much interested in getting them. People belonging to a particular sect called the Valluvar community of South India who specialized in astrology bought most of these leaves. Some of these were also acquired by the astrology families in Vaitheeswarankoil, a place near Chennai, the capital of Tamilnadu, a state of India. The leaves were found lying idle in Vaitheeswarankoil aorund the 13th century. Some interested in Astrology realized their values and copied the contents on palm leaves and made exact replicas. These leaves have been handed down over generations to make predictions. They earned their livelihood through Nadi-Astrology. They got trained from their elders to do Nadi reading. (Sarabhoji,also called Serfoji by the British) The then Marata King Sarabhoji and Chola Kings patronized this form of astrology and translations. It seems that these Nadis were originally written on animal skins and some leaves and later they were copied on palm leaves. They are preserved by applying oil extracted from peacock's blood. Vaitheeswaran temple The primary centre for Naadi Shastra is in Vaitheeswarankoil, near Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu, a state in South India. Here Lord Shiva is said to have assumed the role of a vaidhya or doctor, who alleviated the miseries of his devotees.

The procedure involved in the reading of the palm leaves in Nadi Astrology is a closely guarded secret, being passed down from generation to generation.They are not gerneally exposed to the common public. The Nadi astrologer first takes the thumbprint of the person who has come in serach of his Nadi leaf. He then uses the print of the thumb to identify the possible palm leaves from the numerous manuscripts in his possession. Usually Nadi Readers have bundles of these palm inscriptions at their disposal. It is not a certainity that the person's leaf would be with that particular Nadi Reader. It might be with a Reader from any other part of India. Else the leaf might have vanished after years of neglect. Once the Nadi Reader locates the particular bundle , he begins to read from each leaf and asks the person a series of questions about his or her life, while attempting to identify the correct leaf. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours and it should be noted that it isn't always possible to identify a person's record. Once he locates the correct leaf , he begins to read from the leaf, describing the person's life in detail. First there would be a general reading and then, based on the person's interest, additional leaves are consulted to explore areas such as marital relationships, profession and business, past or future lives, etc. The Nadi astrologer will also suggest remedial measures that the person can take to reduce the influences of past karma and enhance the benefits of future activities.However, these days lot of naadi astrologers cheat First they do not themselves do the thing and engage their chelas to do it. second they give some parihaaras invariably for their selfish needs. They will definitely incur the curses of the rishis and take on the karmas of the people on them heavily if they do thus. Some times I ask for the leaf and see myself the words. I then ask him what the word is and make some research and invariably it tunrs out that it was correct in hindsight.But onething......i always find that having a reading done there is lucky for me...so without caring for the accuracy of predictions or readings I go there to seek the blessings of Rishi Agastya.Also, there are some naadi stacks which contain some yantra diagrams by Agasthya Munivar's own hands and also some mantric inscriptions.I also go there to peruse some. I have seen Him twice because of this Naadi and it is my para-bhagya. I decided when i went to the naadi last year to set up a group on Rajarajeshwari devi in and received his blessings. so this time i went for a few things and this time i got some good readings for me again. Also, it is said that a single conversation with a wise man is worth more than reading a 100 books(chinese proverb) and thus i also talk with that old man and also Agasthya rishi indirectly through the medium of naadi. Also,with blessings of elders like you and others this dream will turn out to be true. Sadaa Sathya Shivoham!! Om Hreem Agasthya Devaya Namaha!! Jayosthu Khumbha Muni!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Is there a Bhrigu Naadi in South India? My parents consulted a Bhrigu Naadi for me in North India and it made many correct prediction. Are the south Indian Nadis in Tamil or Sanskrit? Thanks RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Dear Rajita Ma, There is certainly Bhirgu Naadi in Tamilnadu(and in other states of southindia too).Infact one Naadi Nilaya lies very close to my house in Chennai. One Mr.Madhialagan is in-charge of it.He runs what is called Bhiru Naadi Jothida Nilayam in Ashok Nagar, Chennai. I just went to him also yesterday,very 'co-incidentally' you suddenly ask this question today! The Naadis in Tamilnadu are primarily in Tamil but for northindians and those who do not know the language most of the Naadi centres have a translator who translates and the original script in Tamil is written in a note book for you.If you can afford it you can buy the leaves too.But nowadays except for some VIP clinets they do not normally give away the leaves. The translator also records in english or hindi?(provided by some centres) the translation of the naadi in a cassette player for future reference. You can also request the translator to write the whole script in either english or Hindi(if the centre offers that service too,normally only english is offered). Tamilnadu has many Naadigranthas of various saints. These saints knew both the dravidian language and Sanskrit so they had given the naadis in both language. Andhra has the naadis in telugu(ancient telugu) but nowadays not many seem to know of it except in konaseema and Vizag districts.I might wrong here as there might be some naadi astrologers who practice their profession in other pockets of Andhra too. In kerala there are ofcourse some Naadi Astrologers.They also use Prasnam to find out the leaf and that is a rather esoteric science. In Karnataka Hubli had some naadi astrologers. I do not know of any other astrologers there apart from this. Hope this helps... Sarvam Shakthi Mayam Jagad!
