History of Nadi Astrology
Nadi Astrology is believed that the Seven rishis (7 sages), Agasthiya (Agastya), Kaushik, Atri, Veda Vyasa, Brigu, Vasishtha and Valmiki had forecasted the life of all people and then written on the Palm Leaves (olai chuvadi) by their spiritual powers. (The disciples of the saint who is also called as Trikala Gnani [one who knows all about the three tenses of time line]). Each of the rishis or sages has a Nadi Grantha from which his knowledge is spread out. These Nadi Granthas include Atrinadi, Sivanadi, Agastya nadi, Vasishta nadi, Brighu nadi, Vishwamitra nadi (Kaushika nadi) Nadi Jyothisham etc. Some of these nadis are not complete owing due to the destruction of the leaves as well as loss of some parts during the British rule in India.

As the thumb lines are classified into 108 types, the Nadi astrologer searches his storehouse of leaves for the person’s thumb print. Though there may be a leaf corresponding to that particular person, obtaining that exact leaf is difficult and time consuming. After finding out a leaf, the astrologer reads a statement from the first leaf and if it confirms to that particular individual, he will read out the second statement to confirm its authenticity.
