The ancient Rishis of India dedicated themselves to the discovery of various arts and sciences to ensure the well-being of future generations. One significant science among these is Astrology, which encompasses several branches including horoscopy, palmistry, numerology, and Naadi reading. Horoscopy involves casting and interpreting horoscopes based on the positions of planets at the time of a person's birth and their movements across the zodiac. Ancient manuscripts such as Brihatsamhita and Jathaka Paarijatha bear testimony to the well-developed nature of this science.
In contemporary times, we often hear about individuals with powers of extra-sensory perception (ESP). The ancient Rishis, holy sages of India, possessed powers that far exceeded modern ESP. Their intense concentration on the divine allowed them to foresee the future. Rishis like Agasthiya, Kousika, and Vasishta made predictions specifically for human beings, ignoring other forms of life. They recorded these predictions on palm leaves in Sanskrit, which were later translated into ancient Tamil by scholars under the patronage of Tamil kings. These palm leaves, which house the wisdom of the Rishis, were preserved in royal libraries, particularly by the king of Tanjore. The palm leaves in our possession were inherited from our ancestors, having been acquired during the British rule through auctions.
Before any predictions are revealed, the individual is identified through details such as date of birth, planetary positions at birth, parentage, names of close relatives, and marital status. The predictions provided start from the date of the individual's Naadi consultation and extend to their last day. The process deliberately omits past events to avoid any potential complications in the individual's life.
The process begins with obtaining a thumb impression from the individual, which is then used to search for the corresponding palm leaf in the library. The leaves are classified and indexed based on thumb impressions to facilitate easy searching. For each thumb impression, there could be multiple bundles, each containing numerous leaves. Finding the specific leaf involves a meticulous process where the reader verifies statements with the individual to confirm the accuracy of the leaf. Once the correct leaf is identified, it provides the General Kaandam, which includes brief predictions of the twelve houses of the individual's birth chart. Detailed predictions for specific houses can be obtained through additional Kaandams.
To achieve the best results from these predictions, the Rishis emphasized the importance of being free from the evil influences of previous birth sins. They prescribed specific remedies, known as Parihaaras, which if performed with full involvement, are believed to ensure the occurrence of the predicted events. These remedies are detailed in separate chapters called Shanthi and Deeksha (Chapters 13 and 14).
Our office has been established for over 80 years, spanning three generations. Despite the recent emergence of many Naadi offices, particularly in Vaithiswarankoil, we do not have any branches elsewhere in India. Many notable individuals have visited our office, often more than once, impressed by the accuracy of our predictions.
Our family has been providing predictions based on the Sukshma Naadi for about fifty years. These predictions start with a dialogue between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, who requests predictions for her devotees. The Maha Siva Sukshma Naadi is known for its exhaustive and accurate predictions compared to the Kousika and Agasthiya Naadis, which we previously followed. This is why the charge for Sukshma Naadi is relatively higher, but it is considered a small price for the invaluable insights it provides.
Similar to traditional astrology, Naadi predictions are divided into twelve Kaandams, each corresponding to a house in the birth chart. There are also special Kaandams for specific aspects like Shanthi Pariharam, Deeksha Kaandam, Vaidya Kaandam, and Dasabhukthi Kaandams. The first Kaandam is compulsory as it serves as an index for the other Kaandams. While consulting additional Kaandams is optional, they cannot be accessed independently without first reading the initial chapter.
An interesting feature of Sukshma Naadi is that it predicts when a person will come for a consultation. This timing is often linked to the positions of Saturn and Jupiter in specific zodiac signs. For instance, the current Naadi leaves indicate consultations when Jupiter is in Cancer (Leo) and Saturn is in Taurus (Gemini). Once these planets transit to the next signs, the present palm leaves are ceremoniously left in the Holy river Cauvery.
Unlike Natal Astrology, Sukshma Naadi predictions only cover events from the consultation date to the end of the individual's life. Past events are mentioned only to confirm the accuracy of the palm leaf. This feature ensures that the predictions are relevant and immediately applicable to the individual's future.
Despite the ancient origins of Naadi, we have embraced modern technology to preserve and share this knowledge. This website and booklet are the first steps in utilizing computer and information technology advancements to document and share the history, background, and nature of our predictions. This effort aims to preserve the knowledge passed down through generations.
Our Naadi predictions have often astonished individuals with their accuracy. For example, a lady consulted the Naadi with a long-time companion, with whom she had not formally married. The leaf accurately described her situation and recommended continuing the relationship. In another case, the prediction indicated that a bedridden person would not survive to hear his future predictions, which turned out to be true.
Naadi predictions have also touched upon broader events such as elections. Prior to the 1998 parliamentary elections, predictions accurately indicated the timing of the elections based on planetary positions. This level of foresight demonstrates the remarkable precision of Naadi predictions.
Naadi predictions are inclusive, covering individuals from various religions, communities, and regions. Our clientele includes Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, and Christians from across India and abroad. The predictions and suggested remedies respect and incorporate the customs of different faiths, promoting religious tolerance and fraternity.
Naadi predictions have also foreseen natural disasters. For instance, a Japanese client was warned about an impending earthquake that would affect his house. The prediction came true, highlighting the far-reaching scope of Naadi foresight.
The predictions found in the Siva Naadi are written in Tamil, in a poetic form, and often use code words for astrological and other terms. These codes are not commonly understood even by educated Tamilians. The task of deciphering these predictions falls to the Asans, or readers, who undergo 7 to 10 years of training at the Head Office. Their role involves interpreting the palm leaf writings and translating them into simple spoken Tamil. For those who do not understand Tamil, translations are provided in Hindi or English.
Interpreting these ancient texts is more complex than simply understanding the poetic form. The Asans must correlate the predictions to modern contexts. In the past, education and professions were limited to a few fields. Today, there are hundreds of specialized fields, making it challenging to interpret old Tamil words in relation to contemporary vocations. This challenge is also present in Natal Astrological predictions, leading to ongoing research for accurate interpretations that meet modern needs.
Our approach is to provide the nearest possible interpretation of old words, based on vast practical knowledge. Customers must also take a realistic view of the predictions, considering their education, social and financial status, and reasonable aspirations. There are exceptions where an ordinary person might achieve phenomenal success, which will be adequately explained in the Naadi predictions. Here are some concrete cases from the Gurgaon center to illustrate these points.
For instance, the term “AthiNaveena,” meaning highly modernized education, and “Sukshma” subjects, meaning intricate subjects, are often interpreted as engineering education, especially in fields like computers. The meaning of “Naveena” has evolved over time. Thirty years ago, it might have referred to Civil or Electronics Engineering, later to Chemical or Electronics, and now to Computer and Information Technology. Tomorrow, it could refer to space and satellite-related subjects. Similarly, “Sukshma” subjects could mean a Ph.D. or Doctorate in sciences. The prediction suggests that the customer is fit for higher specialized studies, and detailed fields can be inferred based on their qualifications and interests.
In another case, an Income Tax Commissioner’s profession was indicated as one of collecting government revenue, referred to as “ThandalMargam.” This term could apply to various revenue departments like Income Tax, Sales Tax, Customs, etc. The exact profession is often surmised by the customer. Similarly, those employed in banks might be described as working where money is exchanged, encompassing various financial institutions.
In the political field, predictions might state whether the individual will hold public office with power and authority, referring to lower or upper houses of state assemblies and Parliament. For example, a prediction might state that an individual will achieve a significant position like “Agrasana,” which could be interpreted as the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly rather than the Chief Minister, as evidenced by a concrete case where the customer became the Speaker following coalition elections.
Another instance involved a High Court Judge, where a prediction indicated retirement at the age of 63, although the retirement age for judges was 65. This highlights the importance of understanding contextual nuances and changes over time. The prediction correctly foresaw changes years in advance, emphasizing the need for skillful interpretation.
When a customer wishes to consult the Naadi, they must contact the center to get a confirmed appointment date. A day before the appointment, they must reconfirm their arrival. Currently, the waiting list extends up to three months. If a customer cannot make their appointment, the slot can be reassigned to another waiting customer.
Upon arrival, the customer provides their thumb impression (right hand for males, left hand for females). This thumb impression is used to locate the relevant bundle of palm leaves. Each bundle contains predictions for numerous individuals, and sometimes a single leaf might contain predictions for more than one person. In rare cases, a set of leaves may exclusively contain predictions for one person. Such exclusive predictions are typically given to the concerned individual, while others are ceremonially destroyed by immersion in the Cauvery River.
The selection process of the correct leaf is time-consuming, ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Each leaf contains specific details about the individual, such as their and their spouse’s names, parents' names, number of siblings, birth order, and other significant facts, referred to as "Sakshis" or witnesses. The customer confirms or denies these facts as they are read. If the details do not match, the next leaf is read until the correct one is found.
In some cases, individuals may not find their leaf, indicating that the time to know their future has not yet come. New bundles are periodically brought from the Head Office, so those who do not find their Naadi initially may do so later. No fees are charged if a leaf is not found. Once the correct leaf is found, the original Tamil predictions are recorded in a notebook and translated into the customer’s preferred language. The predictions are then explained in spoken Tamil and recorded on tapes for the customer.
The Sukshma Naadi predictions are available for all twelve Bhavas or houses, with Chapter 1, the general Kaandam, being compulsory. This chapter serves as an index and contains exhaustive predictions from the time the customer’s leaf is traced to the end of their life. This chapter identifies the correct leaf and provides planetary positions, which are used to cast the horoscope. The Naadi horoscope matches the customer's natal horoscope but does not indicate the Lagna position or the balance of Dasa and Bhukthi periods, except in rare cases.
The present Gochara positions of planets are discussed, and serious doshams (flaws) or sins from previous births are identified, with references to Shanthi and Deeksha Kaandams suggested for remedies. Predictions cover education, profession, marriage, health, children, financial matters, and more, divided into three-year periods for detailed examination.
Pariharas or remedial measures are essential in Naadi astrology to atone for sins. They are suggested in three cases:
Sins from Past Births:
According to Hindu Karma theory, the deeds from past lives affect the present. Pariharas help mitigate these effects. They act like an umbrella, providing some relief from severe hardships. The Naadi prescribes pilgrimages, pujas, offering food and clothes to the poor, feeding birds, planting trees, etc., to cultivate virtues and devotion to God.
Gochara Effects:
Temporary planetary transits causing adverse effects are addressed with similar pariharas to those for past sins.
Enemies and Evil Eyes:
For protection from enemies, jealousy, or evil eyes, the Naadi prescribes specific Manthra Japas (chants) to be performed over specified periods. These mantras are dedicated to Vedic gods, and the talismans created are worn for protection. The Naadi emphasizes non-retaliatory measures, focusing on protection rather than harm.
Pariharas should be performed sincerely, not ritualistically, to ensure effectiveness. Some remedies are personal, while others may be conducted by Vedic pundits through the Head Office at Vaithiswarankoil.
These chapters provide detailed information on various aspects of life, such as education (Chapter II), marriage (Chapter VII), and profession (Chapter X). While the general Kaandam is comprehensive, these additional chapters offer more specific insights.
For instance, a shipping engineer consulted the Naadi, and predictions indicated he would enter the shipping business with his sons. His sons’ Naadis were also consulted, revealing that one son would excel in oil-related shipping trade, while the other would become a major shipping magnate. This alignment helped the family identify their business direction.
In another case, an executive with marital issues consulted the Naadi. General predictions hinted at problems due to past life sins, and chapters XII and XIV suggested pariharas. Chapter VII predicted reconciliation, but the customer, feeling reconciliation was not viable, referred to Chapter XI, which predicted a second, happier marriage. This clarified his doubts and provided a satisfactory resolution.
The Siva Naadi is an ancient and profound system of astrology that requires skillful interpretation to adapt its timeless wisdom to modern contexts. The process of reading the Naadi involves careful selection and validation of palm leaves, detailed predictions, and prescribed remedial measures to address life's challenges. The Asans play a crucial role in this process, ensuring that customers receive accurate and relevant guidance based on their unique life circumstances.
