Nadi Shashthra - The past, present and future!!!!

Have you ever heard of Nadi Josiyam? Personally, I have heard about that but do not have any prior experiences..... I am curious to know about the future but at the same time, little bit scared too. Let's just have a look at this interesting concept.

Nadi Shashthra is believed to have been composed by Saptha Rishis (They change for each Manvanthra), mainly by Agathiyar. He is also a Tamil Sidhar who is believed to have lived for more than 5000 years. The Nadi scrips are written in vattezhuthu (an ancient tamil script) and written in a poetic language. It has to be correctly interpreted to know the exact predictions.



It is written on palm leaves and are mainly interpreted and used in Vaitheeswaran Kovil in Tamilnadu.






Some interesting facts about this are :
  1. If only your destiny allows you, you will get access to your Nadi leaf. It is your destiny which creates curiosity inside you to go in search for your leaf.
  2. Your thumb impression is used to find the accurate leaf for you. Males Right hand thumb and for females left hand thumb impression is used. (scientific fact is that each thumb impression is unique and there cannot be two identical thumb prints)
  3. For each thumb print there are 5 to 6 matching nadis (bundles) each one having 50-100 individual palm leaves.
  4. First, your most matching bundle will be selected according to the thumb impression and then by asking simple questions, they will move on leaf by leaf until selecting your leaf (which is most accurate) and then the predictions will start.
  5. Nadi scripts are believed to be very ancient and they are sacredly protected by astrologers in Vaitheeswaran Kovil. They are passed from one generation to the next.
  6. These scripts were initially stored in the Saraswathi Mahal in Tanjore. Some leaves were auctioned during the British Rule.
Nadi scripts tell the past, present and the future. Some people say it is a myth and some people say it is genuine and accurate. The above points will give you a good intro picture about what it is all about.



When you see and read the various principles of creation, the most accepted and agreed concept is rebirth. Most religions believe in rebirth. Hinduism strongly believes in karma and rebirth. According to this concept, the same set of people are born again and again but in various places and countries and in various forms. Just a simple example as fly as a cow and cow as a human. There is a famous saying in Tamil, "pullagi, poondagi, puzhuvagi, maramagi.........

People could question..... The leaves are very few but human population is in millions. How can they select one leaf and say that is the accurate match? Here comes the closest solution in the form of rebirth. If the same person is born again and again in various forms, one leaf is enough for his past life, present life and future life (in this janma and more janmas to come). Sounds sensible???

In this blog, I am trying to relate and connect to various myths of our religion to science. Just to clarify one more time, everything I write is according to my thoughts and nothing is a proved or researched one. I refer to various websites to collect and gather information related to a particular subject though.....



If you ask me personally, "Do you believe in these Nadi and other astrology?" Well.... My answer is yes, but it depends on the genuinity and integrity of the person who interprets that. I strongly believe that astrology is not false but astrologers may be........

We cannot deny the fact that astrology has become a good business and many fake people have entered that field misguiding the population.  But there is no doubt that astrology is a pure science and as always I am amazed by our ancient sages and their power in calculating and measuring all these complicated things with such an accuracy. Salute to them.
