Bhrighu, Vasishta and Valmiki.
About
Nadi Astrology
- It reveals the destiny of man,
his past, present and future, using the thumb impression and comprehensive
details about one`s life is read out from the palm leaf.
- Predictions were written down
in Tamil and they are called Nadi Granthas.
- Granthas are manuscripts
divided into 16 chapters or Kandams.
- The various chapters give
details about the seeker`s family, profession, marriage, children, future
happenings, disease, prosperity, family, friends, bad habits and
associations, spiritual inclinations, auspicious happenings, death,
foreign trips, litigation and a complete overview of life.
- It also gives the causes for
present birth`s karmic struggles and ways to overcome them through
suitable remedies.
- Predictions made by the Rishis
conquered time and when the leaf is read, names of parents, current
position in life, reasons for seeking the reading too is mentioned in the
leaf.
Leaf
identification
- Nadi Readers say that the
seekers would come on their own accord in search of the leaves at the
destined time and thumb prints of the palm is taken (right thumb
impression for the male and left thumb impression for female). There are
108 categories of thumb impressions that are classified by the seers.
- To find out the exact leaf of a
seeker, he is asked to answer a set of questions based on the verses in
the leaf. Nadi leaves are also classified accordingly, based upon the
different thumb impressions.
- The exact leaf tells the names
of the seeker, his parents, and spouse and gives out details that are
written in the leaf.
- It would be a general overview
of his life in the future. Some details would correspond to the present or
past. Each leaf has a different answer to a seeker.
Role
of Destiny
One tends to seek this form of
divination only if he is destined. Very strangely the leaf also mentions at
what time the native will appear to take his reading. The native only at the
predestined hour gets to read his leaf. It is very divine in essence. It is
believed that Lord Shiva has destined a life for every soul in all its
incarnations and if he wills, the particular soul would seek a reading to
understand the life patterns emerging in that particular incarnation.
Study
of Nadi
Ganesh Nadi states, “Any genuine
nadi is based on the 360 degrees of the zodiac, divided into the 12 signs, each
containing 150 whole nadiamsas or 300 half amass.” Ganesh Nadi is considered to
be very accurate in its interpretations as it is divided into 1800 nadiamsas
for each of the 12 signs.
Ganesh and Sahadeva Nadis contain a
total of 21, 600 basic descriptions of destinies of men. The figure of 21, 600
correspond to the amount of inhalations and exhalations made by a man in a day.
The breath, the five elements of the body, astrological fundamental knowledge
and insight are composite of nadi prediction, say the yogis.
Factors that determine the accuracy
of Nadi Prediction
- It depends mainly in the
identification of the right leaf.
- The Nadi Astrologer should be
proficient in interpreting the verses in the nadi leaf.
- Different types of nadis have
different ways of interpretation. It is said by some texts like Jaimini,
mantra nadis will have predictions of the future in an uncertain manner. .
However there are different types of nadis like Rishi nadis, tantra nadis,
and prasna nadis.
Helps understand life patterns
Though predictions of future
happenings are made, many happenings can be changed by initiating positive
actions in the present. Remedies, introspection, repentance, prayers change the
course of action thereby changing destinies.
Rishis out of infinite compassion
for the suffering humanity have written them down; so that man can understand
about his patterns, strengthen himself through moral discipline.
For many births, one would have been
a habitual offender and would undergo suffering due to this trait. If he
is destined to take the reading, it would state the reason for such a condition
and direct him in ways to overcome such shortcomings and seek a better life. It
has a divine message to all who seek the reading.
Soul
power
Faith plays a vital part in this
predictive science. One should believe that the leaf would never be wrong as it
is pre determined by Lord Shiva that one takes a reading, gets spiritual
instructions and acquire the soul force to shape oneself. One suffers due to
actions of unalterable past, which is to be overcome.
As Swami Vivekananda said that there
is something behind the will that is free, it is the soul force within each one
that helps one to be free to shape one`s destiny and Nadi certainly helps in
discovering this soul power.
