Informative articles on Naadi have flooded the internet and many authors have come up with Naadi books with different titles which contain either the material from Bhrighu Nandi Naadi or some stellar based system My books on Naadi Astrology like Revelation from Naadi Jyotisha, Orbital Providence, Celestial Matrix, and Prashna Hora are research based works on Bhrighu Nandi Naadi and Kasyapa Hora There are other good works under Naadi system In order to organize these works with workable principles which will be helpful for those who wants to further research in application of these Naadi principles, I have ventured into bringing out all of them in one volume Satyacharya's Dhruva Naadi, Stellar Based astrological works by scholars like Late Sri H.S Seshadri Iyer, Sri R.Gopalakrishna Row, Sri N V Raghava Charry, Late professor K S Krishnamurti's stellar astrology and of-course the Bhrighu Nandi Naadi principles are included in this work Utmost importance is given to explain workable principles of different Naadi systems and their method of application Therefore, this volume does not repeat the fundamentals explained I am thankful to Sagar publications for being instrumental in bringing this work We as a team dedicate this work to Late Sri R G Rao the legend living in the hearts of Naadi Astrological fraternity SATYANARAYANA NAIK Roots of Naadi Astrology Introduction There are various types of Naadi granthas Chandra Kala Naadi, Dhruva Naadi, Bhrigu Naadi, Nandi Naadi, Saptarishi Naadi, Vidyamadhaveeyam, Kakabhujandar Naadi, Guru Naadi, Buddha Naadi, Surya Naadi, Kapila Naadi, Vashistha Naadi, Shukra Naadi, Saptarishi Naadi and Pushya Naadi Some of them are in different libraries or with traditional families in south India and North India These Naadi systems have five different methods of giving readings One set of granthas relates reading based on horoscopes with divisional reference points as with Dhruva Naadi, Chandra kala Naadi Another set of Naadi goes with the stellar division which has some basis in Vidya Madhavaveeyam Yet another set of reading is based on signification of planets with or without relating to Dasha bhukti like Nandi Naadi and Bhrigu Naadi One more set is called Mantra Naadi which has some occult interference in reading through the palm leaves Very rarely I have come across a Naadi reader having this mantra Naadi However, some Naadi palm leaves and old scripts are available in the south Indian and North Indian libraries Most of them are in Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada languages The Sth one is Naadi reading based on thumb impression index and identifying the palm leaf having the whole life reading including the names of relatives This has become famous across the world over two decades Originally this was restricted in and around Chidambaram and some places in Tamil Naadu Now we can find branched out readers across the word and in every city there are number of such Naadi centers X Roots of Naadi Astrology: A Comprehensive Study There are number of articles on this type of Naadi, many giving their experiences hosted on the internet There are arguments for and against the thumb impression Naadi system Foreigners who visited Chidambaram have recorded their experiences and opinions Many Indian scholars like Dr B.V Raman, Sri C.G Rajan Sri Santanam, Sri C.S.Patel and some scholars from Andhra and Karnataka have also experimented with this system and have documented their experiences There are recorded instances about the experience of the legend Dr B V Raman who encountered certain Mantra Naadi exponent having the Guru Naadi palm leaves He exhibited an empty palm leaf witnessed by Dr Raman With closed eyes certain mantras were recited and when eyes were opened the empty leaf had written messages in Kannada, a south Indian language Again mantras were recited with closed eyes and they turned into another south Indian language Tamil It is learnt that this Naadi reader explained niceties of this system of Naadi Dr Raman had also experience of another Naadi called Agastyar Naadi by which the exponent used the thumb impression of Dr Raman and predicted certain events which came true It is learnt Dr Raman's group has a copy of Dhruva Naadi Naadi in Sanskrit means, any tube or pipe, son of nada, vein, any tubular organ of the body, Nerve, pulse, box of a wheel, tubular stalk or any plant or any tubular organ, artery, deception, sort of bent grass, any hole or crevice, flute, strap of leather, any pipe or tube, juggling trick, thong, Naadika means osmium sanctum, any tubular organ, hollow stalk, and another pot-herb, windpipe or throat, trachea In Muhurtha, Naadika is half of Muhurtha that is 24 minutes In Naadi astrology possibly the meaning of pulse, or the box of a wheel, that is out of 12 zodiac sign wheel, a sign is considered as a box, or the juggling trick, or a string, or cord ( that is thong), or 24 minutes of Muhurtha, might have been attributed to word Naadi It also means the subtle channels in the body Roots of Naadi Astrology Introduction xi In Tamil the word Naadi gives many expressions such as "Search" or search of existence, search of past Recordings of human life predictions by Rishis Bhrigu, Angirasa, Atri, Viswamitra, Kashyapa, Vashistha and Agastya are known as Naadi How they recorded the destinies of human race including those yet to born is a million dollar question yet to be answered The personal experience of Dr Raman about the changing contents in a palm leaf is an astonishing phenomenon for which no answer can be found within the frame work of science which has limited resources Writings of rishis are not only confined to Astrology, but also include medical science, Yoga, Metaphysical life, and Occult science Whether these subjects also have similar magical powers to situational changes with regard to content and languages? I have no evidential research findings on this aspect Contents of Palm leaf if written by Rishis in Sanskrit, which is evident from the libraries having some of the original works on Naadi, then the Naadi which books are in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada or Hindi must have been translated at a later date Even these translated versions are also in palm leaf that means they date back to an era when paper was not in use for writing In 2nd century BC China has the archeological record 6f fragments of paper making That means these translations should have taken place before 2nd century BC The earliest epigraphic records found on rock edicts and hero stones date from around the 3rd century BCE The Sangam literature dates back from the 300 BCE Tamil language history has been classified into three categories attested by scholarly research Old Tamil dates back between 300 BCE - 700 CE, Middle Tamil dates back between 700-1600 and Modern Tamil dates between 1600-to date Since the language of Tamil used is very old it can be traced between 300 BCE- 700 CE and therefore these palm leaves must belong to this period when paper was not in use xii Roots of Naadi Astrology: A Comprehensive Study Prior use of written language, the subject Naadi was taught orally to the disciples Later on some of them have been transcribed in to vernacular on palm leaves That's how the "taala-patra granthas" came into existence The wonder incident that Dr Raman experienced where the blank palm leaf converted into contents and then changing in the choosen language · languages endorses the miraculous powers of transcribers Such occult powers which are flowing through the palm leaves till recent centuries cannot be ruled out based on our limited perception levels framed in modern scientific outlook There are others who had wonderful experiences with regard to Naadi reading One of the famous Astrologer and an advocate by profession vouchsafed similar experience with little variations He was dumbstruck when the Naadi reader said in Tamil "Kumbha lagnathil kelvikaaran " (The person born in Kumbha Lagna is waiting for reading) To record description and events of generations in coded language on Talapatra bundles there must be a secret key which is known only to these traditional Naadi readers The original Sanskrit contents were transformed into many regional languages like Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi Segregated regionally, the collection of talapatra granthas run in to thousands which are by legacy possessed by the Naadi readers These Granthas include Agastya Naadi, Brighu Naadi, Brahma Naadi, Shiva Naadi, Kaushika Naadi, Kashyapa Naadi etc Unfortunately some of these great works were lost due to destruction of the talapatra and some have been lost due to negligence of people who did not realize the importance of these granthas During 10th and 12th century AD kings of Chola dynasty helped to preserve these granthas duly classified and kept in the library of Tanjore in Tamil·naadu The rich knowledge data base of Indian heritage suffered destruction due to invasion of Mughals and British Mughals ruthlessly burnt most of the materials and nonetheless English men transported many Naadi granthas to Britain However they xiii Roots of Naadi Astrology Introduction did not destroy it but sold mostof them 'to those connected with astrology Some community hailing from Chidambaram has brought them This Vallavar community settled down around Vaitheeshwaran Koil in Tamil Naadu which is now famous for Naadi readers It is learnt that Lord Kartikeya is the key diety who is changed to protect these granthas The planet Mars is attributed to Lord Kartikeya and this place is especially auspicious to ward of evils of planet Mars The Map of Tamil Nadu is appended below marking Chidambaram TAMILNAOU I "•·v' , rOUr,st Ofishrctt!On I , ANOHRA PRAOf.SH " , "" _/ I··, ,, J t • - l ~·-; /~u ·.I.,- ;;:;,.-.• \1;\ r ,.;;.~ - : ·~~)·- -, ,~-~ ~ ~-''{,>,)'n.44"\: ~ ã~:~ ~ ~ã~-:-,'!:~'f-.:t~.,._;: j,.:ãã~ =~-~-:~"?~~~~", ~.?~ ·~:;_j;}>~ •7, •• •• • ~-'
