Nadi Astrology

The Nadi Jyotish is a unique system of astrology.Nadi Granthas, the master pieces are systematically and scientifically completed treatises based on minutest parts (known as Nadiamsas) of the zodiac and permutations and combinations of planets posied in them. Research in "Nadi Astrology" is a Herculean task. Unless a band of scholars sit together for some years and do research on the subject, nothing substantial is possible. It is just like authoring an "Encyclopedia" where a band of scholars are at work for years. Similar is the case with Nadi research. Various scholars of yore had taken from great sage Parasara certain aspects of Vedanga Astrology and developed in their own way, adding new dimensions, a branch of traditional astrology known as "Nadi Astrology" which is perfect and simple in approach. One unique thing to be noted is the sheer simplicity of the rules. There is neither jugglery of words nor mathematical calculations involved. In fact it is a highly refined and exhaustive extract of several astrological treatises. One important issue which constantly intrigues the researchers, who agree on the antiquity and profoundity of the literature is the gap between Nadi Granthas and other standard texts. Nadi Granthas, the master pieces are systematically and scientifically completed treatises based on minutest parts (known as Nadiamsas) of the zodiac and permutations and combinations of planets posied in them. Only a few Nadi Granthas base their predictions on 150 Nadiamsas formed by Sodasa Vargas of Parasara e.g. Satyacharya's Dhurva Nadi, Deva Keralam(Chandra-Kala-Nadi), Sukara Nadi and Bhrugu Nadi. Many other Nadis are not based on 150 Nadiamsas e.g. Dhruva Nadi by Jaya Muni which takes into account five parameters only. The readers are requested to study author's earlier two books named, 1) "Prediction Through Navamasa and Nadi Astrology" and 2) "Navmasa in Astrology" as many of these predictive tools mentioned are fully explained in detail therein.
