Nadi astrology
The content of the manuscripts is often attributed to the Vedic sage Agastya who is believed to have possessed a highly developed consciousness.
These ancient records of providence were made famous by practitioners around the Vaitheeshwaran Temple in the state of Tamil Nadu.
[4] These Nadi leaves were initially stored on the premises of Thanjavur's Saraswati Mahal Library in Tamil Nadu.
[citation needed] The British colonialists later showed interest in the Nadi leaves concerned with herbs and medicine, future prediction, etc.
[citation needed] 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.
[5] There is also another set of astrologers claiming that the content written on the palm leaf is the conversation between Shiva and Parvathi.
Chandra Kalā Nadi, which is also known as Deva Keralam, was published by Sagar Publications in 1992, edited, and translated into English by R Santhanam.
Deva Keralam has borrowed many non-Nādi concepts also to make the book fuller, but it preserves the gist of Nādi astrology.
The palm leaves in Tamil Nādu temples use a style different from that of Deva Keralam, and the Tamil method of Nādi Astrology is paralleled by Bhrigu Samhitā in north India, which has been published in part, but many spurious publications in the name of Bhrigu Samhitā have also appeared in the market.
[7] When predictions are based on Nādis in which ascendant and planets are placed; it means the combined results of all sixteen divisional charts are being told.
The real self (the Atma) then enters into a different body depending on one's Karma and takes form relative to the good or bad deeds one has done.
Atma manifests in a physical body as per applicable karmas.,[citation needed] In Karmic terms, a transition like this is like a person working in an organisation getting promoted when he or she works sincerely, honestly and efficiently, or demoted if he or she is a bad worker.,[citation needed] Nadi Astrology is like a mirror of one's karmas in the previous birth(s).
[8] All beings, irrespective of species, nationality, religion, social class, aggressiveness, etc., are controlled by the Navagrahas (nine planets).
Birth, death, rebirth and moksha are all controlled by our karma.,[citation needed] Paapams (activities that result in negative Karma) are obstacles that may take long to dilute whereas punyas earned can be 'spent' very soon.
Bad Karma is committed even if one thinks unrighteous thoughts.,[citation needed] What is to be given to one's lot in life, when, how and where are all decided by the Brahma using the Navagarahas and the Siddars as channels.
Agathiyar always thrived for Jeeva Karunyam (to not harm any being), i.e., taking care of all living things in this world and guiding them to the path of Gnana or the attaining of supreme self-knowledge.,[citation needed] Prince of Malacca In the film Chandran Rutnam is set to direct, Prince of Malacca, the olai-chuvadi (palm-leaf) reading which Raj Rajaratnam sought to forecast his future is influenced.
