They were written by a Rishi called Agathiyar who had a highly developed consciousness. These ancient records of providence were made famous by practitioners around the Vaitheeswaran Temple in the state of Tamil Nadu. First, the Naadi palm leaves are located based on the thumb impressions (right for men, left for ‘women).!!] These Naadi leaves were initially stored in the premises of Thanjavur's Saraswati Mahal Library in Tamil ‘Nadu. The British colonialists later showed interest in the Naadi leaves concerned with herbs and medicine, future prediction, etc. Some leaves got destroyed and the remaining were auctioned during the British rule. These Nadi leaves were obtained by the families of astrologers at the Vaitheeswaran Temple and have been passed down the years from one generation to the other.2] Theory The basic concept of Nadi Astrology is "Nadi" (nadi). There are 150 Nadi i (Rasi), one sign is 30 degrees of zodiac. Twelve signs of zodiac grouped into three categories : Movable (Chara), Fixed (Sthira) and Dual (Dvisvabhava) signs Nomenclature of 150 Nadis is peculiar to each of these three types of signs. There are 1800 Nadis in 360 degrees. Numbers and names of Nadis are identical among all four Chara signs, Among all four Sthira signs, Numbers and names of Nadis are identical, but numbering is different from those in Chara and Dvisvabhava signs, Similarly, numbering of Nadis in all four tpl wikipeciarowwikiNac_astoogy 18vows Nad astolgy- Wp. een eney clones Dvisvabhava signs are identical among themselves, but different from Chara or Sthira signs. For instance, the first Nadi in Chara signs such as Aries is Vasudha Nadi, but in Sthira sings the order is reversed and Vasudha is 150th Nadi, In Dvisvabhava signs such as Gemini, Vasudha is 76th Nadi; that is, from the middle of 150. Thus, there are 450 distinctive names and numbers in full zodiac. Nadi texts use this concept of Nadi as the basic unit for prediction. That is why they are called "Nadi granthas" Chandra Kala Nadi, which is also known as Deva Keralam, was published by Sagar Publications in 1992, edited and translated into English by R Santhanam. It is a compilation of over 82 hundred verses by Achyut of Kerala, that is why it is called Deva Keralam, But its original kernel was Chandra Kala Nadi which has not been preserved as a separate text. Deva Keralam has borrowed many non-Nadi concepts also in order to make the book fuller, but it preserves the gist of Nadi astrology. However, there are many different trends in Nadi Astrology which are not present in Deva Keralam. There are Nadi texts named after planets, such as Guru Nadi or Shukra Nadi, and there are voluminous unpublished texts like Dhruva Nadi. The palm leaves in Tamil Nadu temples use a style different from that of Deva Keralam, and the Tamil method of Nadi Astrology is paralleled by Bhrigu Samhita in North India, which has been published in part, but many spurious publications in the name of Bhrigu Samhita have also appeared in the market. The basic methodology of these Nadi or Samhita texts have never been described in these texts, hence astrologers can predict only what they already possess, and are dumb-founded when they do not pos: required leaf about some particular person, ‘The most fundamental trait of Nadi texts is Nadi, which is actually a sum total of all divisions of a sign caused by sixteen divisional charts (shodasha vargas) described in texts like BPHS (Brihat Pardshara Hora Shastra). 135 divisions out of total 285 are repeated in other divisionals, hence there are exactly 150 distinctive divisions of a sign. But these divisions are unequal, largest division being of half a degree and smallest division is 36th part of a degree s the When predictions are based on Nadis in which ascendant and planets are placed, it means the combined results of all sixteen divisional charts are being told, Hence, Nadi Astrology is the most detailed and accurate method, But it requires highly precise birth time, and it also requires knowledge of genuine Nadi texts, most of which are unpublished and the custodians do not allow others to see the manuscripts. Same is the case with Samhita texts in North India, such as Bhrigu Samhita or Ravana Samhita Beliefs Brahma In ancient history, this universe and earth were created by the cosmic God of Knowledge, Sri Brahma, who is a higher consciousness of every human being, and the entire universe is controlled by three powerful cosmic Gods or the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh). Athma Athman is the 'real' you with no body, no mind or no desire. Athman is immortal, and characterises the real you, Changes apply only to the physical bodies, Common stages are birth, childhood, teenage, adulthood, oldage, and death. The real you (the Athma) then enters into a different body depending on your Karma and takes form relative to the good or bad deeds you have done, Athman can neither be created nor destroyed. Athman manifests in a physical body as per applicable karmas tpl wikipeciarowwikiNac_astoogy 25
