An excerpt from an interview with Abdullakutty (Kerala MP) on Nadi Astrology

[Guest guest]

Making things worse, you wrote an article in a travel magazine, describing your trip to a Nadi astrologer � where a pandit reads one's destiny through the thumb -- in Tamil Nadu.

 

The article was distorted out of proportions by the media, which was totally unneeded. I made the visit out of curiosity and travelled to Thanjavur. Then I shared my experiences with readers. It was meant as just a travelogue. No one should read more into it.

The article was amazingly written. That apart, it is uncommon for a Communist MP -- that too a Muslim -- to visit a Nadi astrologer.

I have said why I went. Thanjavur always attracts two kinds of people -- one to know the future, the other tourists. India's culture is different. So is our ethos. There is myth, fact and fiction. I can't run away from the age-old customs and beliefs. There is no harm in visiting such places. But I repeat -- it was pure curiosity that took me there.

 

But you wanted to know your date of birth. (He did not know his exact date). Were you convinced after the visit?

Yes, it was an enlightening experience. It was a search for destiny. Whatever they said was almost true. Out of nowhere, an astrologer came with a scripture -- written in ancient Tamil -- and read out all details about my date of birth, including my star. I was stunned. The real shocker came next. The pandit asked me if I was an MLA or MP. Such shockers kept coming. Then came another stunner, "You are not a Hindu and you are an atheist. Neither do you believe in Nadi astrology." I could not believe myself. Then he started narrating tales from the past, present and future.

It is said that details of all human beings were written by sages such as Vashishta, Agastya, Bhrigu and recorded at the Vaitheeswaran Kovil. It was a revelation. A curious mind left with a contended heart

Many of the Naadi reader's clients are Atheists, Rationalists belonging to

political groups whose prime motive is anti Hinduism and anti God. But the real

issue is we can't prove as they incognito visit them and also readers them

selves sometimes visit them. Even I have seen a member of a political party from

which current and former ruling parties originated siting to hear his future

with a naadi centre in Kanchipuram. So, they accept its genuineness and

correctness.
