The practice of Nadi Astrology, rooted in Hindu beliefs, centers on the evolution of life. Originating in Tamil Nadu, it is linked to Lord Shiva, who foretold the destinies of all living beings eons ago. As the supreme deity, Shiva granted blessings to the nine planets (Nava-Grahams) to govern the fates of all in existence. This tale begins with Goddess Parvati’s curiosity about the future of her offspring.
There are many great works of compilation in Nadi Astrology that predict the future of mankind, as dictated by the sages or ‘Rishis’, including Bhrugu, Vasistha, Agastya, Shukra, Sivavakkiyar, Atri, and others. In addition to Nadi Astrology, the saints were masters of Ayurveda and Sidha or Herbal medicine, science, self-defense arts, and spirituality. Nadi Astrology predictions were written in the ancient poetic Tamil language.
Nadis come in many forms or classifications, including Sirunool, Perunool, Thulliyam, Agasthya Naadi, and Shiva Naadi, among others. The greatness of Sivanadi lies in its simple yet detailed and descriptive predictions of individuals and thus sets the path forward to wipe out the aftermath of the past birth karma, allowing the molding of the future to take place.
