Nadi predictions are inscribed on the palm leaves that have been written by the Saptarishis. However, reading these predictions might not be easy as it requires knowledge of ancient Tamil and Sanskrit literature. Moreover, it’s difficult to find a particular Nadi leaf from the heap of bundles. For sorting out the exact report, we use the thumb impression of the native. For men, the right hand’s thumb creases are used and for women, the left hand’s thumbprint is taken. But the process doesn’t end here as the thumb impression can help in finding out 5 to 6 bundles each containing 50 to 100 leaves. After this, the Nadi astrologer has to read every leaf to reach the exact one. Even after carrying out this exhaustive process, the reader needs to verify the Nadi leaf’s details with the help of the native. This means to expedite this process, the individual needs to extend his/her support.
The first page of the Nadi leaf comprises the first Kaandam that represents the native’s Lagna. Generally, this would provide predictions related to the 12 houses of the Native’s birth chart. And, for in-depth information related to each house, the native can check the relevant Kandam (chapter) mentioned in the Annexure. It is noteworthy that the Nadi leaf of an individual describes the most important events of life. However, to achieve the results, the soul must cleanse all the bad karmas done in its previous births. For freeing oneself from the sins done in the past lives, the person should follow all the remedial measures (parihaaras) prescribed in this scripture. These remedies are mentioned in separate chapters called Shanti and Deeksha (No 13 and 14).
