Nadi & Lal Kitab

[Guest guest]

Dear Nahata ji,

 

There could be a lot of common ground between the Lal Kitab and the

Nadi system , because both the systems draw from the same source ,

the Vedic tradition. But little or no help from the Nadi system can

be had if working within the parameters of LK alone. And here are my

reasons for saying so:

 

[ 1 ] There are two kinds of Nadi systems known to me. One , like Dev

Keralam , working on the nadiyansh ; and the other working on rasi

and/or lagna system. Lets take up the first one. Nadiyansh system ,

as I had said in my previous mail , needs a lot of accuracy in time

of birth , generally 48 seconds. A nadiyansh is further divided into

four varna reducing it to 12 seconds. The nadiyansh system heavily

draws upon the vedic system for its analysis incorporating the

techniques of ashtakvarg and the divisional charts. On the other hand

LK is a simple , non-technical system where none of these techniques

are needed. Yes, the rationale of the predictions made in the Nadi

system might also be understood through the LK techniques. I haven't

tried that yet , but some day I wish to.

 

[ 2 ] The second Nadi sytem based on rasi/lagna is just like Vedic ,

and applies Vedic principles . For how one should go about predicting

using this system I quote from the Preface of Bhrigu Nandi Nadi :

 

" When considering results , the sign occupied by a planet , the

lord of the sign , the other planets posited in that sign, the

planets in the 7th and 12th to the planet ,whose effects are being

considered , have to be taken into account for assessing the results.

The exchange of signs of that planet with another is also taken into

consideration. In addition the transit of Jupiter is taken into

account. He gives the results of the sign he transits. ….Take the

causative planet of the particular aspect you want to study ,

consider the adjacent houses of that planet and the 7th house there

from ….you will also be able to make correct predictions. "

 

Of all the above directions , only one is applied in LK and that

is `the other planets posited in the sign'; here the sign and LK

khana would be the same.

 

Therefore at the level of application of techniques there is hardly

any common ground between the two systems : LK and Nadi. If at all

it might be just a few inches.

 

[ 3 ] Another problem with the Nadi granth is that there are a host

of spurious Nadi granths in the market. Any Nadi granth not

disclosing the where abouts of its manuscript is a suspect. For

example, Dev Keralam and Sapt-Rishi Nadi have disclosed the source of

manuscripts and that they are preserved in the libraries. In the

North too quite a few books have appeared in the name of Sanhitas

eg . Bhrigu sanhita , Ravan sanhita etc. Again the source is suspect.

It is only in a few very rare cases that the original Nadi or sanhita

manuscripts reach the hands of the public for publication. Invariably

the families which own these rare palm leaf manuscripts never allow

any one to see them , let alone hand them over for publication.

 

Therefore, except in a few cases , it is difficult to come across an

authentic Nadi or sanhita book . But as far as the LK is concerned it

is authentic all the way.

 

As far as covering the middle ground between Vedic and LK is

concerned , people like me have been doing it for quite some time

now. I know quite a few LK puritans don't like it , but I am a

protestant and not a catholic.

 

Sincerely,

 

Priya

Dear Priya ji,

 

Thanks again for providing us with such a detailed

knowledgable mail. But here let me request you to

kindly go through my mail once again. I am in no way

trying to compare two great systems but trying to

understand similarities between them.

Please go through my previous mail once again and let

me know your valuable feedback.

Thanks once again,

 

Best regards

 

Jai
