Agathiyar Nadi Jothidam
"Dharma (the eternal law of the cosmos)"
History of Nadi Astrology
Nadi Astrology written and foretold by some enlightened mystic scholars of the ancient past for the betterment of their succeeding human generations. Yes ... this is the birth right that the mankind has derived from its predecessors.
Envisioning the welfare of human kind and the expansive generations, they created the records of the individuals by spending their whole lives in order to ease our lives among all critical points at this modern times and age. Perhaps, this was the effort stretched by them to preserve "Dharma (the eternal law of the cosmos)" during Kaliyuga. Nevertheless, their sole intention is to help the humanity to be on the right course by spiritual wisdom.
These Nadi predictions, being the repository of wisdom of the Great Saints was one of the well preserved books for thousands of years by many generations of rulers. Due to the benefaction of the Chola Kingdom, these Nadi Granthas were translated, protected and preserved at the Libraries of Tanjore and Vaideeswaran Koil.
Among the various characteristics of people, one is "his/her obsession towards probing things which are unknown”. It has been a tradition that even from ancient times, people are obsessed and eager, seeking more and more knowledge and have eventually succeeded too in their pursuit. It is kind of an eternal quest.
In Agathiyar Nadi Jothidam, these enlightened sages are an enigmatic set of ancient siddhas and are yet to be understood by the world. Having pleased with their fervent prayers and ardent devotion, Lord Shiva bestowed on them some super natural powers, thus granting the sixth sense known as extra sensory perception.
With the help of this improbable prophecy levels which they derived from Lord Shiva, they wrote and preserved these records on palm leaves that are associated with one’s rather the seeker’s past, present and future life course. Their superior knowledge is being served beforehand to keep one and all at their pinnacle.
The source of these nadi (palm leaf) scripts can be sketched back to ancient ages say about 2000 years or so. The legend has it that the ancient Hindu Rishis (sages) written the life patterns of each individual irrespective of their religion, cast and creed on palm leaves by their sheer instinctual powers.
Chola Kingdom preserved this form of astrology and translations. It seems that these Nadis were originally written on animal skins and and later they were copied on palm leaves in order to preserve them and for this specific purpose they have built a library at Tanjore and Vaideeswarankoil both of which are located in Tamilnadu. It is believed that Lord Shiva assumed the role of a Vaidhya or doctor at Vaideeswarankoil to relieve people of their miseries.
