Re: Tamil Dictionery of the words used in Naadi Astrology.

 

Dear Sri.Wg Cdr Shashiokant Oak

 

Thank you for joining our group. Our initiative is to digitize and e-

preserve palm leaf manuscripts and other heritage materials. We made

considerable progress in e-preserving old books. Our collections of

palm leaves are rather limited. It is not because of lack of

enthusiasm from our part but most of the palm leaves are under the

custody of Government libraries, who hesitate sharing 'our common

heritage'. We are not in a position to give financial compensation

for private collections, as our funds are very limited. However, if a

donor comes up with this idea of preserving palm leaves in the hands

of private individuals we can put our volunteers in to action.

 

As for as Naadi suvadis are concerned they are under private custody

and they guard that secretly. I tried to obtain those suvadis for

scanning but they don't part with them. I heard that a French group

is visiting various Naadi centers in Tamilnadu to e-preserve them. I

do not have any update on it.

 

I heard about this in New Mexico from a Tamil family for the first

time and after that I visited Vaideswaran temple. A study by an

Australian couple revealed that these Naadis are a universal

predictive system. By that I mean whether you read your Naadi in

Gujarat, Bengal or in Tamilnadu the predictions are the same. I tried

only in a couple of places in Tamilnadu. There is a need for in-depth

study on this ancient science of futurology.

 

The international Naadi centers are run by a few clans from

Vaideswaran temple. They carry the Suvadis from Tamilnadu to various

places and read the predictions. They do with in Tamilnadu as well.

 

To do any study with Naadi we need to acquaint ourselves with these

clans and get their trust.

 

We are certainly interested in your initiative and would like to hear

from you now and then.
