leaves read...Tony.Dear Tony,                      Glad to hear from you. I

guess some of the members must have first hand experience of  Naadi. In Bombay,

one Naadi Leaf Reader do advertise rarely in news papers. I am hearing from

friends their experiences of Naadi for the last 45 years. I really do not know

what to make out of it.

the book and am reading it presently. Very nice reading experience. Both Angela

and Andrew Donovan claim that this is nothing less than a spiritual experience

for them. Andrew holds a masters degree in architecture. It is not some

superstitious Indian, extolling the merits of Naadi.

>                          A friend of mine works in a large research center

near Madras city. (In Madras city, almost every street has a Naadi leaf reader).

A visiting scientist came from Italy for a two week assignment at the research

center. Before coming to India itself he had heard about Naadi. Each day, after

putting in a few hours of work, he will go to some Naadi leaf reader. During all

his stay this was his routine.RegardsVG

 

Namaste VG,

 

There differences in superstition....the leaves are but a yantra for reading the

existing mind of the person in front of the palm reader. Same as with the

Tarot....there are hits and misses.......but as there is no time. all that will

happen to the construct we call a person is already in their mind.............It

is not a spiritual experience..........Cheers Tony.

Namaste,

 

That doesn't disagree with what I said about time and the mind...It is not

spirituality as it is of the mind...........Tony.
