Hi all,
Well, after researching a little about nadi jodhidam here and there, I got interested so much as to know it by myself, but in vain, it is a complete
hoax (I do not know as to the authenticity that not all are hoax, but some are authentic).
First of all they get the thumb impression and ask you to wait for some time, then they say if you are lucky you will get it. In the mean time, they
advertize that there are 12 kandams and if you are interested in knowing about marriage, then you have to see the Ist podhu (general) kandam
and the 7th thirumana (marriage) kandam, apart from that, there are 10 more kandams which are in 4-5 varieties, thuliam (little detail),
mahathuliam (more detail) shooksham (a little more detail than this) and maha shoksham (again a little more detail and deep secrets) each
varying in prices from 500 to 10000 according to your money in pocket. Apart from this there is parihara kandams 1 and 2 (in the same varying
prices) which you have to see to bring an end to all the negatives in your prediction which may be costly.
They just have a bundle of palm leaves, (may be the same 2 or 3 bundles they have after all) and just show it to you for the dramatic effect to lure
you into a little belief if you are doubtful as to the authenticity. Only a good old Tamil reader could tell for the script is in ‘old Tamil’ and only some
people can read it properly (which is again to our disadvantage) as to know whether it is authentic at all, we do not even know whether they really
read from the leaves or just pretend so as to give the great dramatic effect, and in the meantime try to side guess all they need for making it look
authentic when they ask those 10 to 15 questions to make a guess about you by verification of data.
By doing this, they get the moon sign, nakshatra, approx time of birth, and date of birth etc., and cast a horoscope in front of you and give you a
rough prediction about future (again a lot of guesswork to please you). This is a lot worse than astrologers, at least they accept to the limitations
of astrology, here they say it is true and authentic whereas it is a hoax completely. In all this, also the mind wants to know the complete truth of this
whole thing, is it really true somewhere, or is it is totally useless and a big sweetened hoax.
