History of Nadi
The roots of the ancient Nadi astrology began in the centuries of years ago. There were the great Sages or Rishis who had the idea of studying the future of everyone living on the planet. These predictions were recorded onto Palm Leaves as Nadi josiyam in a specific script. the leaves were used to forecast the future of people today with the help of Nadi Astrologers. The ancient Rishis of India utilized their brains and discovered a variety of arts and sciences to ensure the health of the future generations of humanity. One of the sciences is Astrology. There are many different branches of Astrology which include Horoscopy., i.e. reading and casting horoscopes built on the location of planets during when the person was born for an individual as well as the movement of the planets throughout the Zodiac. This is a very well-developed science, as demonstrated by old texts like Brihatsamhita, Jathaka, Paarijatha and others.
The Maharajah Serfoji II of Tanjore, who was a renowned supporter of arts and sciences, tucked away the leaves in his library, so that they could be in the near future. The British recovered the leaves within their time in the kingdom, and later sold them to a few Indian families who keep the leaves. They carefully care for them and continue to instruct individuals in the correct reading of the leaves, so that people are able to benefit from the old-fashioned advice of these Siddhas, also called Naadi Astrology Family. They are now considered as a Nadi Astrologer families. It is believed that one of the Nadi users Mr.G.Natarajan Swamy is a specialist in this region around Vaitheeswaran Koil and is part of one of the top Nadi families.
