It could be very herbal that Nadi Literatures immensely attract the attention and hobby of any advanced pupil of the sacred challenge of Astrology, and of any extreme researcher in the area. There are extra than 24 "Nadi Granthas" to be had in various components of South India; maximum of these have nonetheless been lying within the form of palm-leaf bundles written in Sanskrit language, however have been scribed by using the scripts of local languages (like Tamil) of South India. These are mainly the belongings in their respective owners, and many of those are to be had in massive libraries. In North India, the Nadi Granthas are extra popularly known as "Samhitas" .

Even some knowledgeable and executed humans are of the opinion that the predictions obtained from the "Nadi Readings" approximately possible destiny happenings almost invariably show to be incorrect - despite the fact that the readings in recognize of past activities seem like amazingly correct (and therefore the querent receives duly inspired). But this never a balanced view; frequently it's miles observed that human beings acquire lopsided perspectives thanks to their personal horrific studies, or through believing what they may have listened from humans whom they recognize and/ or consider. One should arrive at conclusions after collecting enough know-how and facts approximately the concern, and after judiciously considering all of the execs and cons.

It is but genuine that many discovered Astrologers have had recommended us that there are some of faux or spurious works available at the concern , and these imitations are closely banked upon by means of a few foxy habitual deceivers - most of whom possess little or no understanding of Astrology. It ought to be referred to that there are special training of Nadis: (1). Mantra Nadis., and (2). Tantra Nadis. While the latter elegance of Granthas (Tantra Nadis) is largely based on age-vintage well-known Astrological principles - and therefore deserves the eye of Astrology fans, the former elegance of Granthas (Mantra Nadis) is basically 'dangerous' .

Mantra Nadis are based on obtaining manipulate over some "uchchista" or 'kshudra' (suggest or profane) deities via using the Mantras. From these Nadis, the querent obtains very accurate studying of all the important events and happenings of the beyond, but most of the (or maybe all the) predictions about the destiny which can be given commonly prove to be false when the expected time of fructification clearly arrives.

For information of the more inquisitive users, the names of the diverse to be had Nadi Granthas are given hereunder:

1. Bhrigu Nadi., 2. Shukra Nadi., three. Dhruva Nadi*., four. Satya Nadi., five. Surya Nadi., 6. Agastya Nadi., 7. Guru Nadi., 8. Nandi Nadi., nine. Budha Nadi., 10. Chandra Kala Nadi (Deva Keralam)., 11. Koumara Nadi., 12. Ishwara Nadi., 13. Sapta Rishi Nadi., 14. Kuja Nadi., 15. Kaka Bhujandar Nadi., 16. Kapila Nadi., 17. Bhargava Nadi., 18. Shani Nadi., 19. Nava Nadi., 20. Garga Nadi (greater popularly referred to as Garga Samhita)., 21. Narada Nadi., 22. Markandeya Nadi., 23. Koushika Nadi., 24. Saraswati Nadi., etc.

* There are exclusive "Dhruva Nadis": one is by Satyacharya, and the other is by means of Jaya Muni. A very critical noteworthy point is that "Dhruva Nadi" has been compiled on "SAYANA" basis - even as the alternative Nadis like Satya Nadi (or Satya Samhita) has been compiled on standard "NIRAYANA" foundation.

Certain Nadi Granthas like "Satya Nadi" (alternately called Satya Samhita) usually deal with the lives of the incredible, extraordinary, and illustrious men and women of various fields. Whereas "Dhruva Nadi" covers the lives of all types of men and women hailing shape various walks of lifestyles.

There are basically 2 forms of Nadi Granthas :

(1). The former kind offers with the real horoscopes acquired via numerous viable diversifications and combinations. "Bhrigu Samhita" is an example of this type; it's far to be had in Hindi also. This kind of Nadi Granthas is of brilliant interest to the serious students of Astrology.

(2). The latter kind uses certain beginning factors - recognised by means of the term Nadi-Amsha (which might be truly 150 unequal divisions of any signal) - and cross on discussing the feasible occasions and happenings at period through taking the commencing factor as powerful "Ascendant". "Deva Keralam" (Chandra Kala Nadi) is the sort of e book (available in English* additionally). There are many different Nadi Granthas of this category; like Dhruva Nadi, Bhrigu Nadi, Guru Nadi, Kuja Nadi, and so on; but a lot of these Granthas aren't without difficulty to be had.

[ * N.B.: However, one important thing deserves to be mentioned about the English version of Deva Keralam (Chandra Kala Nadi) translated by (Late) Shri R. Santhanam – which is available in the market. In this work, the 150 Nadi-Amshas had been taken as to be of 'equal' duration (30* / 150 = 0*12' each) – whereas actually the Nadi-Amshas are of unequal durations, and learned Astrologers are well aware of this fact. So, while perusing this work, the interested reader should keep this deviation in his/ her mind – as this ambiguity will surely make a whole lot of difference in the readings. ]

Among these types of Nadis, the method of "Dhruva Nadi" appears to be very systematic, and it's far thoroughly consistent - considering it's far totally based at the widely recognized and logically justifiable popular principles of Astrology. But time and again even the maximum found out Astrologers have stressed that the precise machine of Nadi Granthas isn't always in any respect very easy to comprehend - except one has received indepth expertise of just about all of the to be had methods propounded via the exquisite sages Parasara, Jaimini, Bhrigu, and so forth.

Certain Nadi Granthas like "Sapta Rishi Nadi" do not make any point out of the one hundred fifty Nadi-Amshas or their use for the predictive functions. It takes the longitudes of all the planets and also of the Ascendant. It makes use of the same old rules of Astrology (of Parasara, etc). This Nadi, however, puts forward the predictions; however it does so with out advancing any Astrological reasons in guide thereof . As such, although the students can draw close the overall concepts of Astrology pretty nicely, still at instances they turn out to be pretty at a loss to comprehend the mechanism worried in delineation of consequences. Another peculiarity of this Nadi Grantha is that most of the horoscopes mentioned are of 'male' people.

N.B.: It may not be completely out of place that a few unwell-knowledgeable people (who also claim themselves to be Astrologers) are seeking to skip on predictions primarily based on the so-called 'subs' (or 'sub-subs') of the K. P. System as to be of "Nadi Astrology" (!). Even a few Astrology software CDs to be had inside the marketplace also provide such 'predictions' (!). The human beings ought to no longer and must no longer be misled with the aid of such deceptive claims . Neither the 'sub' nor the 'sub-sub' has whatever to do with Nadi Astrology. By merely obtaining the expertise of the K. P. Machine and the usage of the divisions and sub-divisions of Vimshottari Dasha-machine best, one can never count on to come to be capable of comprehending the diffused strategies involved in Nadi Astrology . Anyone will want to study loads greater, and research much greater; he/ she have to also posses sharp intelligence, retentive memory, and accumulate considerable revel in. Possessing a very good know-how in Jaimini gadget of Astrology will actually show to be noticeably superb; even a few very found out Astrologers have opined that some sort of special capabilities are vital for comprehending Jaimini concepts efficiently.

"We have been trying to comprehend the incomprehensible", so said Descartes. This is what honestly we were doing see you later - thru Astrology. To end up able to decipher the planetary influences - which might be basically esoteric through nature - one ought to have plenty of endurance and perseverance, and pursue the challenge for long with utmost sincerity and real devotion.

[ N.B.: Unless otherwise specifically stated, hereunder, the positions of the planets and Ascendant have been taken on the basis of Nadi-Amsha Chart only (and these have no reference to the Lagna-Kundali). ]

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Nadi-Amshas are very minute divisions. The 30 tiers of every sign is divided into one hundred fifty divisions. However, these divisions are unequal ; the span of the smallest Nadi-Amsha is 0*01'40", while the span of the biggest Nadi-Amsha is 0*30'00". As such, the Ascendant Nadi-Amsha will last for simplest about 7 seconds' time whilst it'll move the smallest Nadi-Amsha, and it's going to take about 2 mins' time whilst it'll pass the biggest Nadi-Amsha. Hence, it must be duly referred to that the Time of Birth should be sincerely correct; frequently, the Time of Birth may additionally want a totally moderate alteration/ adjustment (ahead or at the back of - via a few seconds minimum to approximately 2 minutes most). The Nadi-Amsha Ascendant will then be shifted to the following or to the preceding one, and the chart set-up (and consequently the Jaimini Rashi-Dasha set-up) will then be robotically changed; via doing so, it'd be determined that for one particular set-up so received, the predictions have become amazingly realistic, and falling in line one after any other. As the Time of Birth will as a consequence stand "rectified", that specific chart is to be construed as to be the 'genuine' one for predictive purpose.
