Nadi History

In Tamil Nadu, the texts are mainly written in Vatteluttu, which is an ancient Tamizh (Tamil) script. They were written by a Rishi called Agastya who had a highly developed consciousness. These ancient records of providence were made famous by practitioners around the Vaitheeswara Temple in the state of Tamil Nadu. First, the Naadi palm leaves are located based on the thumb impressions (right for men, left for women).[1]

These Naadi leaves were initially stored in the premises of Thanjavur's Saraswati Mahal Library in Tamil Nadu. The British colonialists later showed interest in the Naadi leaves concerned with herbs and medicine, future prediction, etc. Some leaves got destroyed, and the remaining were auctioned during the British Raj (rule). These Nadi leaves were obtained by the families of astrologers at the Vaitheeswaran Temple and have been passed down the years from one generation to the other.[2]

There is also another set of astrologers claiming that the content written in the palm leaf is conversation between Shiva and Parvathi. This is called "Shiva nadi josiyam".

Tyes of Nadi

Naadi talks about a person's past, present and future and is mostly concerned with material things like getting a job, construction of house, marriage,curing a disease, etc. Gaanda Naadi were already written by Siddars ages back and are available in Tamil Nadu with the blessed people.
