Nadi Astrology - Beliefs and Myths

If there is any branch of astrology that is more abused and denigrated than any branch of astrology then think it should only be Nadi Astrology. May the reason stems from the fact that there is a cloud of mystery surrounding Nadi astrology . The Matters have been made worse by the fact that quacks with greed for quick money have played with the gullible public(remember India has one of the worst records of adherence to Intellectual Property rights and Nadi astrology is no exception) and yet its a gift that has been given to us by our sages with a great insight in to the future. A vital belief among the Nadi Astrologers are that only if a person is pre destined to know from Nadi astrology that his palm leaves would be found else his palm leaves may never be found.However much the predictions contained in Nadi astrology is subject to the karma of an individual
Nadi astrologers believe that these Palm leaves have been written by sapta rishis or the great 7 of all the rishis - Sage Vashista,Sage Agasthya,Sage Bhrighu,Sage Viswamitra,Sage Valmiki,Sage Bohar and Sage Vyasar(Veda Vyasar - the famed author of Mahabharata) . It is believed that these sages gifted these Palm leaves to seven leaves and only family members and their generation of those seven families are in the profession across the country. These old palm leaves contain couplets/poetic expression of the individual who comes in search of his roots as the word "Nadi" means "in search of".These Nadi astrology are generally referred to as Nadi Grantham in South India and Bhrighu Samitham in the North.
Late Shri B.V.Raman in one of his articles published years ago in an article written in a much famed English Daily while referring to Nadi astrology states that 1588320 astrological combinations repeat themselves once in every 360 years.
