Nadi Astrologers and Nadi leaves

June 11, 2003

Dear Mr.Rajagopalan,

Greetings

Thanks for the informative post, I agree with you that lots of

cheating happens in these places, we can just try our luck , can one

select a particular muhurtha to go to a nadi reader so that one

doesn't get cheated and thereby gets genuine readings.

You have mentioned that there are 12 kandas, but I have heard that

there are 14 kandas, 13th being past life and 14th being remedial

measures I presume.

If I am incorrect pls do correct me here.

Can anyone tell me the difference between these nadi readings and

nadi astrology, there is a book on nadi astrology by R.G.Rao , I have

seen it in bookshops but haven't read it. Any comments on this book

and the system used in it. To add, I think he is from Bangalore, not

sure though.

Best regards,

Sushmita

Dear friends,

R.G.Rao has written many books on Nadi Principals for chart

interpretations. I have seen Shri Inderjit Sahney using these principals

on his list(Hanskpvedic).

In the Nadi Granthas,the lagna is not considered as of primary

importance.Lal Kitab(the big taboo on this list)also uses same principal.

Karka Planet of the particular aspect one wants to study is considered

along with the adjacent houses and the 7th house to the concerned

planet.The same is again used in Lal Kitab.

Param Gurudev Shri Sanjay Rath had also promised to teach Nadi Astrology

on West Coast conefrence to be held in California in Aug this

year(2003)in one of his e-mails last year.But I haven't seen anything

about the Nadi Astrology in the program for this conference.

With regards,

Aum Namah Shivaya

There are many Nadi texts in the South. In the North they generally

go under the name of Samhitas (like the Bhrigu Samhita). Amongst the

South Indian Nadis, there are many texts and methodologies. Instead

of referring to individual readings for specific people, if we were

to differentiate these Nadis based on their methodologies (as

Jyotishis we are more concerned with methodologies, especially if

they are replicable enough).

Without going into a time consuming explanation of the various

methodologies, I will briefly give this much information. Texts like

the Dhruva nadi and Chandra Kala Nadi (Deva Keralam) not only use

the lagna, but use highly sensitive divisions called Nadiamsas. Both

the texts are wonderful sources for further research, while

personally I am more attracted to the Dhruva nadi as I had tried to

understand sage Satyacharya's teachings seriously at one time.

But there are other Nadi methodologies that are very effective and

hence cannot be brusghed aside as being too simplistic. The school

of thought that Mr.R.G.Rao of Bangalore has evolved is based on his

own studies into a few such texts. I had met him in 1994 or 95. His

work is not based on reading your nadi leaf (generally nadi readers

do not knowe much of astrology, they just read what is written, if

they are not fraudulent). Sri RG Rao, is not a nadi reader as

generally understood. He is a researcher into certain Nadi

methodologies. He does a curious and interesting mix of certain nadi

astrology principles, palmistry etc. It might be interesting to know

that he uses sign aspects (not the same as the generally known

Jaimini rashi drishties). A lot in the nadis that he refers to seems

to be very similar to certain Arabic and ancient Hellenistic ideas,

including the sign aspects. I must submit that he did quite a good

reading for me based on my palm prints and the chart.

I have often felt that certain Nadi methodologies of South India

(especially the ones used by the likes of Sri R.G.Rao) are quite

similar to the ancient roots of western astrology (at least partly)

and hold some important clues to one single body of astrology in the

distant past.

When one studies (even superficially) the various nadi methods of

the South, one will realise how vast and oceanic ancient astrology

is. It is awe-inspiring to say the least. Every technique has some

merit, whether it is based on lagna, nadiamsa, karakatwas, transits,

promittors, or directions.

Jaya Jagannath,

Dear Sarajit,

I feel I have missed Karaka lagna and readings. I can understand it as Venus

karaka for marriage and take the sign occupied by Venus as first house etc. But

do you have any references or written materials ?

If you have, please send for my studies.

thanks

Karu

Lagna is used in Nadi grantha's withour doubt. Karaka Lagna is also very

important and I have shown its use many times taking Venus for marriage and

studying the 7th lord etc..

Not this time in west coast as they insisted on knowing about Relationships

Workshop. Maybe some principles in the workshops..

Sanjay Rath
