Nadi Astrology – An Introduction – By P.V.R Rayudu

 

Nadi astrology was written on palm leaves in ancient India. It is said that thousands of years ago, 18 rishis including the Saptarishis (the seven sages),

drafted future predictions of humans by creating classifications that were very

specific, scientific and based on the zodiac volatility. These were inscribed

on palm leaves which can now only be deciphered by expert Nadi astrologers.

These sets of manuscripts and the science of predicting the past, present and

the future through them were passed down from generation to generation. Apart

from predictions, Naadi Shastra can also be used for solving certain problems

and avoiding misfortunes. The palm leaves carry predictions for all,

irrespective of caste, creed, country. Each Naadi or set of leaves is made up

of ola or palm leaf, written in Vatta ezhuthu, a Tamil script, with a sharp,

nail-like instrument called ezhuthani. Rubbing peacock oil on auspicious

occasions preserves the palm leaves.

 

Naadi in Tamil means "in search of". It is believed that

an individual goes in search of his details of his past and seeks to know more

of the unknown future. Hence it is a search. These palm leaf inscriptions are

scattered throughout India. It is mostly prevalent in South India particularly in the Tamilnadu State. The primary center 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 vaidhyar (a doctor), who alleviated the miseries of his

devotees. It is also available in some other places of Chennai, Kanchipuram, Salem, Hyderabad/Secunderabad, Tirupati,

Bangalore etc. There are many Nadi Grandhas and they are named after Hindu

Gods, Sages and Planets such as Mahasiva Nadi, Kowmara Nadi, Bhrugu Nadi,

Koushika Nadi, Vashishta Nadi, Sapta Rishi Nadi, Agastya Nadi, Irrattai Nadi,

Meenakshi Nadi, Kak Bhujandar Naadi, Ganesh Nadi, Murugan Naadi, Satya Nadi

Chandra Kala Nadi etc. They are available in the languages of Tamil, Sanskrit

mainly. The palm leaves are held by certain families who read the results from

the palm leaves mostly by taking the thumb impression and some from palm and

birth data.

 

HISTORY

The origin of the Naadi inscriptions can be traced back to

approximately 2000 years ago. It is said that the ancient Indian rishis or

sages had written the life patterns of each person on palm leaves using their

yogic and intuitive powers. These unique leaves were kept in the Saraswati Mahal' library of

Tanjore city of Tamilnadu State in India. Later during the British Rule

the British were very keen to acquire these types of ancient leaves dealing

with herbal cure, alchemy, fortune-telling etc; but left some of the

astrological leaves to their loyalists. Some were put to auction also. People belonging to a particular

sect called Valluvar community who specialized in astrology bought these

leaves. Some of these were acquired by the astrology families in Vaitheeswarankoil

about 60 years ago from Thanjavur Saraswati Mahal Library .

 

The leaves were found in Vaitheeswaran Koil around the

13th century. Those interested in Astrology realised their values and copied

the contents on palm leaves and made exact replicas. These leaves have been

handed down over generations to make predictions about the future. They earned

their livelihood through Naadi Shashtra. They got trained by their elders to do

the Naadi reading. What

is written on the leaves is read and explained by them. The language is poetic

and the script is also different. It is the same as in the ancient temples.

Some of the Nadis are available in the Oriental Manuscripts Library at Chennai, India though in mutilated condition and

the Sapta Rishi Nadi was published in Tamil in six volumes lagna wise. The

Sanskrit texts were translated and written on palmyra or palm leaves in old

archaic tamil language. There were some nadigranthas translated into another

South Indian Telugu language. Marata King Sarabhoji and Chola Kings patronized

this form of astrology and translations. It is stated that Sage Agasthya has

written in Tamil. They have a certain amount of collection leaves. For each

thumb print there will be 6 granthas. In each granthas there will be 108 sizes

and 12 parts according to Siva Nadi and 50 sizes in Agastyanadi that means for

one thumb print many stories of person can be read. In Siva Nadi more details

are given as discussion between Lord Siva and Parvati than in Agastya Nadi . It

seems that these Nadis were originally written on animal skins and some leaves

and later they were copied on palm leaves. They re preserved by applying oil

extracted from peacock's blood.

 

The Nadi readers say that natives whose leaves are there

will somehow or other comes to them at the appropriate age specified on the

leaves from any corner of the world. Leaves are there not only for Indian but

for foreigners also belonging to other religions. Who ever are desired to look

into the leaves will go to them on his own accord. They very word Nadi in Tamil

mean (destined) to come own accord. Those who are not destined may not even

know such a type of astrology exists. Even the very age when the native is

destined to go to them is marked on the leaves. So they say they do not

adventure for their profession. Whoever is destined to come will come faith is

the root of their system. It is also stated that about 40% of the people in the

world only are likely to get these results as available.

 

PROCEDURE

The Nadi Astrologer is generally busy and one has to take

an appointment with him a month before approximately When you go there on the

appointed day he checks his dairy and take the three impressions of the right

thumb for males and the left thumb for females on a paper giving serial order

number and ask you to wait till he calls you. Then he goes inside his library

room where the palm leaves are kept which is not accessible to others. After an

hour or so, sometimes quicker, he comes back with an old palm leaf bundle

called index leaves. After making himself comfortable he carefully unwinds the

long string which keeps the bundle in tact. He tells you to answer yes or no to

his questions. With great devotion he takes the first palm leaf and starts

reading on one side. The reading style is of funny accent in a poetic way, not

understandable to even Tamilians. After reading one or two lines or even less

sometimes he asks you some questions and you have to answer yes or no only. If

you say 'No' he proceeds to the other side of leaf or next leaf and continues

his questions. The questions are generally one or two at a time , such as whether

our name is after some God /Goddess contains 3 or 4 or so letters or so, starts

ends with a particular letter in a Varga (series) of the Hindu alphabets,

Similarly about the names of parents and wife/husband whether anyone of them or

both are alive or dead, number of elder and younger brothers and sisters,

number of children number of uncles, type of profession, whether you are born in

rainy season /summer etc. whether you are born in moveable /fixed/dual Moon and

lagna rasis, whether you are born in a particular Moon Birth star whether you

are born in a particular day in a particular year whether your age is so and so

etc. He says that h e does not know what questions to ask unless he scans the

leaves and that is why they generally insist the concerned person or a person

who knows every detail about the persons consulted, should be present to answer

the questions correctly, otherwise they say the readings won't go wrong. They

do no bother much of you cannot answer questions about birth date month age,

Moon rasi and star, lagna and they seem to bother more about matching of your

name names of parents and wife/husband. If he gets 'No' answers to all the

leaves of the first bundle which he goes back into his library and brings

another bundle. This process continues for an hour or so generally covering

generally up to bundles each consisting about 50 leaves or sometimes quickly

even in the first bundle till he and your are satisfied and the answers to all

the questions in a particular leaf are 'yes' only Concerning names, parents,

wife /husband, co-borns profession etc.

 

Then he goes inside and bring another particular bundle

and reads in poetic style your actual birth date month land year the

astrological birth chart with position of planets sometimes with lagna also

exact names of yourself, parents, wife/ husband, co-born, education, profession

and gist of future predictions in a broad way and this is called General Kandam

(chapter) of first bhava. You can verify the chart given if you know your birth

chart he writes the concerned verses from the leaf in a note book . Then he

records the same in an audio tape with translation into common understandable

Tamil or some other languages with the help of a translator if necessary . He

generally charges a minimum of 400 rupees upto this General Kandam Then he asks

you whether you want to more details about any particular aspect of your life

such as marriage, profession, etc and if so he picks up corresponding bundle

and charges a similar amount extra for each aspect which he calls it a separate

kandam or chapter. Some chapters give details about previous birth, remedial

measures etc. At the end he hands over the note book and audio tape to you with

devotion and takes money generally at the place where the photos of Gods

/Goddess are there.

In addition to these, there is also a special chapter for 'Prasna' where

Generally Remedial measures are like visiting particular temple, feeding the

poor etc, corresponding to sins the remedial measures re suggested. Suggestion

of giving alms to the Nadi reader.

 

Identification Process From Thumb Print Impression

Lines on the thumb are classified

in 1008 types, some say 108 types. 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 is taken. For example, a particular type

is called Conch Shell with a circle. Among these there are many sub-divisions

based on the number of dots on the thumb. Impressions with 5 or more dots are

very rare. 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, for legal purposes, the whole

thumb is studied minutely. But they concentrate only on the centre part of the

thumb and the sub-divisions therein.

Claims Of Nadi Readers

According to the claim of Nadi

astrologers the contents of the leaf are 99% accurate. And it is the accuracy

that has made people from diverse walks of life throng his residence. Generally

he insists on seeing only about 5 people a day on appointment, which is usually

fixed a month in advance. Without the truth and integrity, they cannot survive

for so many years and generations. Of course, there are places where there are

fake leaves. They will not be able to show the leaf with your name and other

details they have clients from USA,

Canada , Japan,

Hongkong, Singapore,

Sri Lanka, Malaysia

and other places. Some even faxes their thumb impressions and gets the

predictions. They have translators with them to serve them their children are

also inherent in this profession and they are learning the old script and other

languages. With the blessings of their ancestors, they will continue for

generations. They have so many people benefited by the remedial measures and

they get feed back from the clients. Pleased with their service, they bring

their friends and other relatives for Nadi reading. They would like to tell the

people that they are only 'Nadi readers'. What is written on the leaves is read

and explained by them. They themselves do not add anything. Some clients get

irritated when some of the facts are unpleasant. They cannot help it. With

utmost patience they clear their doubts. Common people and VIPs (very important

persons) from all walks of life have consulted them. They show them the

particulars of where the predictions for the native are given. Some of their

customers are able to read the leaves on their own. Some even buys their leaves

for preservation. They can even take photographs of the names in the leaf. It

is possible to train those who are interested in learning nadi Jyotish in terms

of Guru-Shishya parampapra (teacher-Discipline system)and Sanskrit languages,

and this knowledge of Nadi Jyotish could be acquired by those who are totally

dedicated lifelong to this Shastra (science).

However, the future of the leaves

themselves seems to be uncertain. Though the leaves are smeared with Ayurvedic

act, the leaves would turn black after 100 years or so. While they plan to save

the contents of the leaf on the computer, they have their own doubts about

doing that. They will not feel the same reverence reading the computer prints

out as they do when they read the leaf.

Some Examples Of Actual Nadi Readings

I prefer to give below three Nadi Readings taken from me

from different Nadis and Readers, so that their veracity can be discussed

authentically, since I cannot give here all the readings from various Nadis

consulted at different places at different times which also gave some correct

future results.

 

Kowmara Nadi Reading In Chennai

 

My first encounter with a Nadi Grantha was on 22nd

February 1968 (in my 29th year) when my father -in-law Shri U.G.Krishna Murthy

(Philosopher and World traveler , popularly known as U.G.) having known my

interest in the study and research of astrology, took me personally to Kowmara

Nadi astrologer (Shri T.Chandrasekhar) in Madras (now Chennai) India, since h e

knew Tamil also. I happened to see the correct Kowmara Nadi Readings of my

father-in-law much earlier , which was given by the father of the present nadi

reader.

 

The Nadi Reader asked whether I knew my date and birth

chart and he said it would be faster to pick up the concerned leaf. I gave him

the same./ Then the procedure was the same , he brought back some index cards

and asked me questions to answer yes or no leaf after leaf. Some of the

questions whether my name and my father's name were given after the name of

Lord Venkateswara, whether I have one sister and one son, whether my wife's

name was after one of the names of wives of Trimurthy's (Bhrahma

,Vishnu,Maheshwara) etc. I asked for my profession (10th Kanda) and he wrote

the readings in Tamil verses in a notebook and translated in English as

follows.

Viswamitra are narrating

Comments on

this Reading

I should comment that all the past

and future details are correct, covering the birth chart, exact names,

engineering degree, first job in private paper mills, and latter in central

government in defense research and development laboratories in guns and

rockets., promotions, hidden enemies etc except the" maintaining this

position throughout" since I took voluntary retirement at my 52nd age and

not work any where subsequently having specific profession except pursuing my

astrology and philosophy hobbies. But strangely it may be noticed that no

detailed profession was given after 50th year. Some astrological discussions

are made. I took karma kanda also and the reading prescribed prayers to certain

gods/goddesses each day in a week along with certain diet for certain number of

weeks etc, the details of which h I do not give here due to problem of space. I

did the prescribed remedial measures and I cannot vouchsafe that they really

helped me, but generally the profession was all right with some usual

disappointments. Subsequently I went to him after my retirement but he said

that my leaf of profession was not available which almost confirmed that I will

not have any job later. The readings seem to be based on Saturn transit of 2 ½

year in each rasi. The readings are crisp and straightforward.

Comments On

This Reading

I should comment again almost all

the past and future events till now are correct covering birth date 7th

Sept,1938, Shravana star, Thula Lagna) birth chart names retirement, new

research computer astrology, first foreign trip to USA in June 1992 with wife

model of predictions based on benefic and malefic analysis of planets and

bhavas "by M/s.Motilal Banarsidass Publisher of Delhi, India, assistants

helping in computer astrology print outs, people coming in search of me,

extension of present house, more research in astrology, meditations, nervous

"Kalatra Karaka in 7th and Jeevanakaraka Moon in Kendrasthana Makara

Government job and engineering job "you will gain lot of income through y

our new astrology" Since I get only very limited amount only. Here also

the stress of the reading s seems to be more from transits of Saturn and

Jupiter though touching the main dasa periods. The readings are again very

crisp and straightforward. ".I hope that further future readings will also

agree. The remedial measures prescribed certain place and God in Tamilnadu and

to give money and clothes to Nadi Reader. This seems of a bit of manipulation

of reading. I did not do the, specifically since I go usually to Anjaneya

temple nearby my house. The future results are given from the date of

consultation at certain ages and the timing of past events are not given.

Comments on

This Reading

I should comment here again that

almost all past & future all past & future events tell now correct

except for some small mistakes here and there, and they are not more specific

as in the earlier quoted Vasistha Nadi and here also Saturn transit only is

mentioned. There is a difference in the life span and parihara mentioned,

though it is also Vasistha Nadi but the reader is different. Here the ages of

past events are given in more detail. I did not do the prescribed remedies as

Durga temple also.

 

It would not be very easy to

correlate and predict the events specifically traditional astrological

principles, as given by the Nadi reader. Since 10th lord Moon is in Mars Exaltation

house & Mars is with Sun, we can say that the profession may be connected

to technical & government. Since 5th & 6th lord parivarthana (exchange

of houses) and 5th lord aspect by 12th lord Mercury there can less be children.

Since 3rd lord is Retrograde & parivarthana with Saturn and Mars and 11th

lord Sun in 11th house with 12th lord Mercury, there can be less number of

coborns. Since Saturn in 6th in Meena Rasi aspecting 12th house, and one to

being retrograde considered to be in Kumbha aspected by 9th & 12th lord

Mercury, and Sun is with 9th & 12th lord foreign travels can be expected in

Saturn Dasa-Sun bhukti. The voluntary retirement can be expected in

Saturn-Venus period due to shashtashtaka (6thand 8th positions to each other),

Saturn in 6th house of service and Venus is lagna lord in lagna giving self

involvement and this combination is not considered good as per

'Uttarakalamrutha' grantha when they are both benefit planets. The publication

of book can be expected in Saturn -Rahu period Since Saturn aspects 3rd house

relating to writings and Rahu is in Jupiter Star connected to astrology. The

study of transits of Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu may reveal these events .

Anyway this would be only a postmortem analysis unless one is very thorough with

his astrological principles and highly experienced to progress the chart very

professionally to prefix that exact future events before the events occur.

However, it would be highly impossible to tell the exact names.

 

 

 

My Experiences

I consulted Kowmara Nadi, Vasistha

Nadi, Maha siva vakya tulya Nadi,Kaushika Nadi, Kashyapa Nadi, Suka Nadi,

Viswamitra Nadi, Vyasa Nadi, Agastya Nadi, Skanda Nadi in Chennai, Salem,

Kanchipuram, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Secunderabad and Tirupati from 1968 onwards

till now for myself, wife, son and other friends. Only at places recently at Hyderabad I was told that my leaf was not

available and it should be got from Vaitheeswarankoil.

 

Here are some of my brief

reactions about the same; - After taking the thumb print, nobody asked me my

date and time of birth no different appointments, nobody monitored behind the

screen in other room, being an astrologer myself I was very careful not to give

any clues. In the index scanning, leaf after leaf they asked whether moon star

or lagna in chara or sthira or dwiswabhava rasi whether my name and names of

wife and parents certain names after some God or Goddess or contained certain

number of letter, sounds of letters whether present age is so and so whether

coborns are so many numbers whether parents alive or dead, whether born certain

seasons year month and dates etc Moon star etc etc They never asked the exact

ones and I never told the exact ones till end.

 

Now the real trick to tell exactly

about your date of birth, names co-borns etc comes into play. Even if an exact

chart with degrees of planets given can an astrologer tell these purely from

astrological principles may be if he is thorough with his subject highly

experiences but definitely no as far as telling the exact names probably in

names likely may sound unless he has got some extraordinary psychic powers .

Then how do they tell with a broad chart. The exact past events and names when

the detailed charts of twins also differ. I did not check the twins' charts

with them and it would be worthwhile to do that for this research. So at this

stage there must be having some method to correct the available nearest chart

to give your readings. I heard that they rewrite the leaves at certain

intervals of time as per the coding and system mentioned in some introductory

to such to the cycles of time I am not sure. Or their recitation of some mantra

would be enabling them to tell the events through some spirit.

 

How did Sage Satyacharya write in

Dhruvanadi a life pattern for each nadi amsha and, without fixing the nadi

amsha one should not proceed further and he did not tell how to tell exact

names. Are these so-called nadi readers are conversant with intricacies of

astrology at all. I interviewed with some of them with some astrological talk,

while reading they said they did not know much of astrology and said they were

trained for 10 to 12 years how to pick up and read the leaves. Even if you

cannot answer some of his questions pertaining to astrological debut such as

moon position, moon star, lagna position etc, and some times even your birth

date and month year since you do not know your birth data and chart, the nadi

fellow tells your date of birth, chart, exact names etc. So it seems to me that

the linking the exact names play a vital role and you can easily see the

veracity of this since another person with some chart cannot have the same

names of theirs and parents. Even in twins with 3 minutes birth difference the

names of twins differ but sound similar but with different charts, but same names

of parents.

 

Being an astrologer I can easily

see this whole process is to know the position of planets Saturn, Jupiter,

Rahu, Ketu, Sun, Moon, Lagna for example if he asks whether I am 60 years old

and I agree by working backwards from now the position of Saturn 2 ½ years

Jupiter (1 year) Rahu and Ketu (1 ½ yrs) one approximately can know my birth

year and their position at my birth year, If he asks whether I was born in rain

season and I agree, sun position can be known approximately, similarly Moon position

generally do not bother about the lagna that means birth time. They get

satisfied with the approximate names also after some scanning. But still the

whole chart is not known at this stage, these index leaves have got some

linking charts to be picked up .Then they bring the leaf if available and give

the whole chart exact date of birth, names, past events, future etc as a

general Kandam and you will be impressed. This is their training process and

they generally do not agree for reading without thumbprint even if you want to

give chart. They never give the degree portion of planets and lagna in the

chart. So obviously other Vargas charts the nearest one which matches your past

events since it is not possible to have records of all charts.

 

On 31st May 1993 (age 55) in Salem I tried to jot down points as the

Nadi reader was reading leaf after leaf from the index bundles and he noticed

and objected to the same. However, for the benefit of the readers, there are

some questions which I noted as he was asking leaf after leaf till a correct

degree government job, one sister married degree". In 5th bundle of index

leaves in about 15th leaf all the details about names, profession, lagna, rasi

matched, the nadi reader told me when the thumb impressed would be connected to

5 to 12 bundles of General Kandam each bundle roughly containing about 50

leaves, any one of bundle and any one of leaf would be connected to you. In

fact the nadi reader got fed up reading so many leaves and after 3 bundles he

refused to continue even, but upon my request he finally got it in 5th bundle

ie. After reading about 200 leaves (an enormous strenuous job for both of us!)

can we get any clues from

these types of series of questions

to arrive at the correct leaf matching your data?

 

Recently I had a funny experience

while reading the index cards for my friend the nadi astrologer asked whether

moon is in cancer in Aslesha and also asked about the approximate names of

parents. We said the parents' names are correct, but the star is wrong. Then

after some leaves, he again said the same parents names but with Pushyami star,

which we again denied. After some more leaves, he again said same names but

with Punarvasu star and we agreed since we knew the star and the chart. If we

do not know the exact moon star what leaf the nadi astrologer decides and he

may choose the wrong leaf. If he is not patient to scan thoroughly to verify

other past events and the readings can be wrong. So it is possible, that

somebody might have been born with similar parents named but with different

moon stars, such as in twins or otherwise also elsewhere in different places.

 

In olden days, the names were

given as per the letters sounds mentioned for moon stars, though nowadays

nobody follows those rules to give names., Even then the nadi astrologers tell

the exact names not only of Hindus but some extent of foreigners also so what

is that astrological principle from which one can tell exact names ? As far as

I know there is none. Therefore, it is possible that the nadi astrologers

propitiate some spirit to tell these exact names including exact past events,

since they are not conversant with astrology thoroughly., The future events

would come correct or not depends on theexperience and attention of the nadi

astrologers. Also I found that all the nadi astrologers would not tell exactly

the same future and events remedial measures defending upon the nadi grantha

they follow, through they tell the past correctly I presume that the same is

time when they tell about the past life. Invariably the remedial measures, they

ask for some money to be given to nadi reader and the prescribed pujas to

Gods/Goddess would be related to places the Tamilnadu. So these cannot be

relied upon.

 

You go to the same nadi reader

after one year and take the readings again from the same nadi grantha, will he

give the same readings as he had given one year back. I have yet to check this,

without telling him that I consulted him a year back. I presume that it would

be different readings of the nadi reader changer even if the same nadi grantha

were consulted because I feel the person who reads is also involved in the

process defending upon his experience.

 

Just as an off-track, I gave on

prediction to some client with probable turning, he came back later to me

& told me that it happened, and wanted to ask some other thing. I again

looked at his chart at his second visit and could not find the astrological

reason how I told that fury prediction, so is it some other extra sense working

at the time of prediction along with astrological reasons to decide the event

depending on your meditations & experience. Yes, I feel it would be so,

when there is doubt about the decision for giving prediction, purely from

astrology angle. That is why, it is said in sastras that the astrologers should

follow the ethics and Dharamas to couple real excellent reasons along with the

analysis following the astrological principles, so that the correct predictions

would come out.

 

So what is difference between

these Nadi Astrologers and the other real good astrologers? I feel the former

would purely use his training with Mantra or spirit without any astrological

background. Another safe escape a for the nadi astrologers is that he would say

that he read whatever was there and you have no means of meeting &

discussing with him again. Where as the other astrologer is answerable subsequent

for his predictions, of course he can also escape saying that the birth time

may be wrong, but it would be his moral duty & certify the birth time

depending on the events and the birth date. The nadi astrologers sued the Vakya

Siddhanta for casting the horoscopes and some times the position of planets

differ from what we get usually. One Tamil language expert told me that it is

not possible to read the scripts understand.

 

Some say that astrology is not a

pure service. I feel that other sources i.e. medicine, space travel etc. Are

also not exact & there are failures in spite of lot of literature &

research is available in these areas. Unfortunately the total literature,

research & experience in the field of astrology is not available. It is

true that no exact future can be told in astrology or even in other sciences

when the space rockets burst in spite of lot of computer calcultions,

experiments.

Some Doubts and Questions

In view of the above discussions, several doubts and

questions which arise on Nadi Jyotish are consolidated here as far as possible

at random:-

What is the real origin of this Nadi Jyotish?

Are they really written by some Sages and only by professional astrologers?

Are they the records of those born in earlier written on palm leaves in those

times?

Why a right thumb impression for male and left for female is to be taken?

In what language they were written originally?

When were they translated into other languages ?

How many bundles of leaves are available in total?

Is each set of leaves after some name of Nadi Jyotish is different ?

Is there really anything written on the leaves at all or something appear then

and there?

Is there any Mantra or some other means used by the Nadi astrologers?

Is there any specific science written to get the birth chart and birth data

from

the thumb impressions?

How the exact names can be told?

What is the procedure followed by the nadi reader to pick up the index leaves

from his library from thumb impression?

How is it on some leaves only some type of funny pattern of lines was written

without any normal language form of script ?

How is it that some type of Tamil script found on the leaves could not be

understood?

Why do the readers give the future readings from the date of consultation only

at some intervals of age only?

Why do they not give the occurrence of past events age wise generally?

How do they give the names of foreigners also sometimes?

Is there any privacy issue?

Why do some readers ask y u to come again?

Which collections are considered largest and carefully reserved etc?

Which nadi readers are held reliable?

How the small place in Tamilnadu,Vaitheeswaran koil has got different readers

even in small houses offering readers.?

Are there leaves were distributed amongst members of that family for their

different businesses charging different fees?

What is the material and sole of the leaf and and how they have preserved so

long?

Are they rewritten at different intervals of time?

How are they trained and how long?

How the leaves are with mostly a particular sect of people who are doing

business from them?

How do they link up the index leaf with the actual leaf of general Kandam and

other chapters of?

How can some readers say that such and such person is going to consult on that

day?

Do the readings for the same person from different Nadis match exactly?

Do the readings for the same person from the same nadi reader from the same

nadi taken at different interval of time say a year later match exactly?

Are you really to be destined to consult Nadi?

How many consult Nadi?

Are the past readings given always perfectly correct ?

How far the future reading goes perfectly right upto what time to nearby future

or to long future also?

Do the reader himself involved in giving correct readings, includes his

training

and experience?

Why do the remedial measures given in Shanti Kanda mostly refer to the

Gods/Goddess /Temples in Tamilnadu?

Why do they prescribe the alms to be given to the nadi reader and is it really

written on the leaves ?

Are they actually reading what was written on the leaves ?

Why are some of them in some form of trance with half closed eyes as if they

are

not reading it from the leaves at all?

Why don't nadi readers give your leaf to you, if it really belongs to y u?

Can you read what is written there?

Will they show it you?

How many readings are there on each leaf?

How many index bundles are normally to be scanned to arrive at your data?

How many leaves are there in each bundle?

Do they read without thumb impression, if the chart is given ?

Are the previous life readings given in different Nadis for the same person

would be the same?

Is there any luck in the leaves from the previous life to the present life to

the future life ?

How far the remedial measures given work?

Why do every nadi reader prescribe shanti definitely for every person whenever

consulted?

Why do the chart given by them differ from the one prepared by you in

computers?

Is their ephemeris from Vakya Siddhanta as told different from others and how

far is it correct?

Why do they tell the firth date, month and year in Tamil calendar and then

correlate it Christian calendar, is it because the records were in Tamil ?

If the records were in Sanskrit or Telugu language, how are the birth data

found in which calendar?

Why are the readings are only at intervals of 1 year or 2 ½ hrs etc ?

Are they following only the transits of major planets of Jupiter Saturn etc?

Why do they give readings of future events only age wise, not at a particular

calendar date, month and year ?

Do they know astrology at all?

Do they tell the exact names of twins , if the thumbprints are given ?

Do they give the readings without the presence of the person consulting and

with the date presented by some person?

Do they give the reading by post if the required data is given and fees sent?

How far they take the responsibility if the future readings given by them do

not

come true and what excuse do they give in such cases ?

Is whole thing a foax only?

Is there cheating by them?

Are there any real astrological principles involved in those Nadis?

Why do they charge exorbitantly which many poor people cannot afford?

Do poor people are distend to consult them?

Is it worth spending lot of money in finding out the tricks of this nadi

astrology?

Is it possible to do any research at all in this filed?

Are there any Nadis with some Swamijis or in some Ashram or with some other

persons who are not using it for professional commercial purposes and give

readings when consulted?

Are there any Nadis published fully, if so in what language?

Why do some astrologers, who have got nadi Grantha not publish it completely in

a book form?

Are there other aspects natural calamities, political set ups wars, countries

etc written also nadi granthas other than about persons and if so why don't

they publish it before hand?

Are these Nadis written restricted to certain regions only, if so within how

many kilometers /miles and within what longitudes and latitudes?

Is there any law, which is given in the Nadis to extend it other persons and

other regions?

How can a few bundles of leaves ,however large they re cover all life patterns

of all persons?

What the addresses of all the nadi readers?

Are there any persons who are really doing any genuine serious research to find

out the secrets of the nadi Jyotish if so what are their addresses and what are

their findings so far, have they published their research anywhere?

Are there any persons who are exchanging their experience and research with

each in this field and if so what are their addresses?

Are there any persons who had consulted all Nadis about them personalities and

published their readings comparing and verifying the results if so what are

their addresses?

Why can't the nadi readers tell the exact names of the wife/husband before

marriage, but can tell the e names of after marriage?

Why can't they tell the names of the children when they can tell your name,

your wife/husband name and names of parents?

Is there any danger or calamity or curse or those who possess these nadi

granthas and to their families when they practice it?

How did Sage Satyacharya, supposed to be inventor of nadi amshas of 150 write

the general life patterns for each nadi amsha and to what percentage they match

with a person's life pattern, if the person birth amsha falls in one of the

nadi amshas or is it that the person should select the nearest nadi amsha

pattern which matches with most of his life events and if it is to be chosen

for a newly born baby who has not much specific events to check then how to fix

up the nadi amsha?

Is there any method, if at all any, to draw the nadi amsha chart just as other

Vargas (divisional) charts and if so how to prepare such a nadi chart and how

to use it vis-à-vis rasi and other Vargas charts (though it is not mostly known

how to use the known Vargas charts themselves specifically for a particular

event in life!)

Which are the mantra Nadis , the tantra Nadis, prasna Nadis etc and what are

the differences and how do they operate?

Where are we now in our research on nadi Jyotish in finding out the secrets,

when they have existing from so many years?

Are there any specific astrological principles used in nadi Jyotish literature

other than normal principles enunciated in standard ancient text books by sage

Parasara, Jaimini,Varahamihira, Mantreswara, Vidyanatha, Kalidasa,

Venkatesdaivagna, Bhaskara Jyotish, Bhruhatjataka, Phaladeepika ,

Jatakaparijata, Uttara Kalamithra, Sarvartha Chinthamani, Bhavadeepika,

Sanketanidhi, Saravali etc ?

Do the nadi readers allow to record all the questions they ask as they proceed

with the index leaves and is there any person who got such recorded data in his

personal case and if what is his address?

How can the Nadi Reader tell that your parents are alive when y you consult him

when they are alive and tell that they are dead when you consult him after

their death and can such a thing can be told from applying normal astrological

principles?

Similarly how can h e tell the exact number of brothers and sisters and at age

you were married etc and can these can be told so precisely from any normal

astrological rules?

Will all the Nadis give the e life span for a person or different life spans,

when the names and chart and other past details match exactly in all Nadis ?

Why some Nadis mention certain age as "Gandam" (danger to life) and

if it is

surpassed the person would live upto certain other age ?

Has anybody found any clues to give exact predictions from the text books

available in the market on nadi Jyotish presently such as "Bhrugu Nandi

Nadi" by Shri R.G.Rao, Devakeralam (Chandrakala Nadi )3 vols by Shri Late

R.Santhanam commentary on "Saptarishi Nadi" by Shri J.H.Bhasin,

"Transits of planets on they birth chart" lesson of nadi are the

essence of astrology" by Shri R.G.Rao, "Kashyapa Hora - essesnce of

Dhruva Nadi and Nandi Nadi published for some Nadi Amshas in the

"Astrological Magazine", several articles published on Nadi Astrology

in the Astrological Magazines " other magazines and new papers etc etc?

Has anybody able to correlate the standard astrological principles with the

nadi

astrology predictions authentically?

Can exact birth time be told by Nadi Readers?

Whether the Nadi reader and the translator add anything on their own while

reading and explaining?

 

Further Research Required

Though one can try to find out answers to all the above

questions I feel that further important research required to be carried out in

nadi astrology should be concentrated on the following points:-

Whether a complete Natural Birth chart with planetary positions & lagna

with

exact degrees and birth data can be formed from the thumb impression?

Why a right hand thumb impression for male & left hand thumb print for

female

should be taken?

What is the technique used by Nadi Readers to pick up the Index leaves bundles

from the thumb print and subsequent Kandam leaves?

What are the scripts written on the leaves?

Whether the Nadi Readers reads the same thing on the leaf?

Whether we or the experts in linguistics can read the same & understand?

Whether there is any script at all in the leaves?

Can we record what all he reads and questions leaf after leaf till he arrives

at

our data in the index leaves?

Whether he writes the same thing in the notebook, records in the audiotape and

translates?

Do the leaves contain some old records of life histories of persons written in

olden days for certain planetary configurations for research for future cycles

and if so how to modify the results for the present consultant's chart which

and could be only a nearby chart since it takes very long time to get to the

same planetary configuration again?

How one can tell exact names, numbers of brothers and sisters with help of a

chart even with exact degrees of planets & lagna?

Can we get our leaf from the Nadi readers and even if so will it be of any use?

Whether the same nadi reader from same nadi grantha gives same results when

consulted at different time intervals, say one year?

Why the nadi readers gives results age-wise only for events, not particular

dates?

Would they use mostly the transits of major planets on the natal chart to tell

events?

Would different readers of same nadi give different results?

Would different Nadis give different results?

Why the remedial measures (Shantis) are prescribed for every one whether

consulted at any time, why they are mostly connected to Temples/Gods/Goddesses

in Tamilnadu only, whether they work at all to overcome the difficulties read

in the leaves or is at another gimmick of the nadi reading to get money from

the person consulted by invoking fear and faith into him?

Why not collect as much data as possible from persons who consulted nadi along

with their experiences about the veracity of the future predictions?

Is it possible to find how the past life data is given by nadi readers and

check

the same?

Is there any method to link the past life data with the present & future

readings?

Which nadi & nadi reader is giving more accurate results?

Is there any way to arrive at nadi astrologers principles in correlation with

the normal standard astrology , as given in the palm leaves by the nadi readers

or is the whole thing a process of hoax using some Upasana of spirits or Mantra

by the nadi readers?

What percentage of correct results would come from nadi readers compared to the

readings from well-experienced sincere normal astrologers?

Can one can erect a nadi amsha chart (1/150) and use it for exact predictions

along with other Vargas charts?

Can one find out how the general life pattern is given for each nadi amsha?

Whether anybody consulted the same nadi at same place or at different places at

same time read by different nadi readers and what are the results?

Whether anybody consulted the same nadi at same place read by the same person

at different times say a year later and what are the results and are they same

particularly with respect to the future events?

Whether anybody got the results without knowing the birth

date/month/year/lagna/Moon rasi & nakshatra/chart and if so how?

Whether anybody got the exact name of wife / husband before marriage?

Whether anybody got future results every year or only at intervals of 2 to 3

years or at some random future ages?

Whether anybody got the same life span (age) mentioned in different nadis?

Whether anybody got the same life span (age) mentioned in different nadis?

Whether anybody got the future result about the birth of a child male or female

specifically?

Whether any astrologer could succeed so far in analyzing the results given by

nadi as per the known astrological rules?(ask astrologers)?

How many are visiting the nadis and getting results also not finding their nadi

leaves.(ask nadi readers)?

What would be the percentage of people consulting nasi?

Whether anybody recorded the various questions asked by the nadi reader leaf

after leaf in the index bundles till he hits the correct one with exact names

number of brothers and sisters etc?

 

Conclusion

I have discussed many important

points on nadi Jyotish as far as possible due to restriction of space from my

experience. It is farther for the readers & experienced astrologers to get

into real research into the mysteries of this nadi jyothish. Since this

research would be very long time process involving lot of expenses, it will not

be possible for any single individual to carryout this research. I earnestly

request all serious research astrologers to come together exchanging their information

freely on this subject, which is very easy now a days because of inter-net

& E-mails. I also request the rich individuals, trusts, government, private

agencies, Swamis, Ashrams help financially for this research. I pray God also

to help all these astrology research aspirants to unveil the secrets of this

ancient Nadi Jyotish uplifting the Vedic astrology

for the benefit of world community. I also give my blessings to all those sincere

young astrologers with their advanced computer astrology software to succeed in

their research efforts.

OM SHANTI.
