this is your astrologer punit pandey

once again

with another video for AstroSage.com

today in this video I want to talk about something very important

and the topic of today is

nadi astrology

there's a lot of mess

created around this term

nadi astrology

somebody will say

that this is a system of astrology

a system

which is based on transit

somebody else will say, 'no', this is an astrological system

but this is based on stellar astrology i.e.

nakshatras

some other will say especially people from south india

that is is an astrology

based on the thumb print

then another one will come and say so

any astrology that uses palm leaves

that is

nadi astrology

so there is too much confusion

i'll explain what exactly is

nadi astrology

this is important ... this is important for everyone

especially astrology students, because

they need to understand

the definition no every concept

ok, so before that

i want to talk about

the story of

blind men and elephant

you would have heard about that story

and if not, let me explain you .. let me tell you

six blind men

they were asked to go

and check how exactly does elephant look like

because they could not see

so they used their power of touching

and then they decided

how exactly elephant look like

the first blind men

who touched the leg

of the elephant

he said

and he explained

that elephant looks like a pillar

elephant looks exactly like a pillar

the other one

who touched

the tail of the elephant

he said that elephant looks like rope

so for him elephant was a rope

for first one it was a pillar

rather interesting ... the one

who touched the trunk of the elephant

he said that it is

a tree branch

so for him who touched the trunk, for him elephant was like a tree branch

and the one who touched the ear of the elephant

he said

and the one who buried at the end of the evening

for me and it looks like

uh... like a fan ... like a hand fan

so for him

elephant was nothing

but a hand fan

and the one who touched the belly ... the bally of the elephant

he said that

elephant

is like a wall

and for the one who

touched the tusk of the elephant

he said that

elephant is like a pipe

and obviously because

they are taking part of the elephant .. they are touching part of the elephant

there was a fight

one would say no it was pipe

it was like a pipe, I have seen it. the other one would say no it is like a rope

i know it, i have felt it, this is my direct experience

this is the state of

astrologers and astrology students

nowadays

for them

nadi astrology is all these parts

nobody wants to see the whole picture

now the story is complete and now

you understand what did the mess around it

let me tell you what exactly is

nadi astrology

nadi astrology

and this is very important nadi astrology is a process

astrological process

and when I say process

it compraises quite a few things

first

it compraises few systems

so nadi astrology can use few systems and it is up to

the nadi astrology

to decide for perticular nadi which system to use

nadi astrology

also comprises

three roles

one the nadi writer

nadi writer is the one

who writes nadi

and this nadi writer writes nadi

in advance

it is like batch process

he writes

predictions

for hundreds of horoscopes ... for hundreds of people

he writes

this bunch of of predictions

and then

because he writes

large number of predictions

he also needs some

technique to index

so the nadi writer

also uses the

indexing technique which is also part of this astrological process

ones the nadi

is written

based on certain systems

using certain

indexing techniques

naid reader reads it

in front of

the client who is visiting him

so the three roles are

nadi writer who is writing the prediction

and then nadi reader

who actually

reads it

when the client visits him

and apart from the system

and these three roles there is indexing technique involved

so that nadi reader

can search the nadi

so there are hundreds or thousands or millions of predictions written

and nadi reader needs to find out exact

prediction

for the client

and for that

he needs to use that indexing technique

so this exactly .. this astrological process

which is

where few systems of astrology are involved

nadi reader, nadi writer and the client involved .. three roles

and one indexing technique

to index

this exactly is called

nadi astrology

so we talked about the three roles we talked about the system and now let me explain you

what exactly is this indexing technique

nadi astrology

uses different

indexing techniques

and it is up to the

nadi writer

on the one who is writing

to decide which indexing technique

he has to use

one nadi writer may use

thumb impression as a indexing technique

so he knows how to use thumb impressions to categorize

and classify those

lots of predictions he has written

so he use thumb impression for that

there are some other nadis

they will use

nadi-ansha

also caled nadi-amsa

so this nadi amsa, these are

one fifty divisions of a sign very minute division

and that nadi amsa or nadi-ansha

is used to define

and classify

that large number of predictions that has been written

some other nadi astrologers do use size of the shadow or different

different techniques

for example, in chandra kala nadi

you will find usage of nadi amsa

and lots of other nadi as well

and some nadi will use thumb print

for example agastya nadi

they will use thumb impression

then there are certain other nadi

like bhrigu nadi

it uses the year or chronological transit order

for indexing

so this was the last part of

the definition of

astrological process

which is called

nadi astrology

nadi astrology comprises

some systems ... some systems of astrology

three roles ... the nadi writer, nadi reader

and the client

and finally

and indexing technique

in the last hundred years

there came many astrologers

who did not understand

this definition ... this very definition

of nadi astrology

and then they created

and I would say started creating mess arund

this astrological process

they started calling their

system

or what they found from nadi astrology the system they found from

nadi astrology

as the nadi astrology itself

which is technically incorrect

you can not

call a system

nadi astrology

because nadi astrology is not a system

it is a process

a system is part of nadi astrology

so you can say

that I use

principles ...

principles of

chandra kala nadi

both the terms are important. principle word is important

and the principle of which nadi

which tree of nadi

you are using

both things are important, so you can say

that I use

principles

of chandra kala nadi

i use

principles

of dhruva nadi in my predictions

for example

satya jatakam is a text which talks about what are the principles

that has been used

while writing

dhruva nadi

so satya jatakam or jataka satyacharya ... it is also call jataka

satyacharya

is telling you the principles that has been used in dhruva nadi

but

it can not be called any system can not be called

nadi astrology

which is what I said is technically incorrect

for something to be called nadi astrology

there needs to be few systems

few indexing processes .. at least one indexing process

and three roles

nadi writer, nadi reader

and the client

and nadi writer

writing predictions

in advance, as a batch process

then only

it can be called

nadi astrology

so nadi astrology uses astrological system

uses indexing technique

uses certain roles .. certain roles are part of nadi astrology

but individually

this can not be called nadi astrology

that is the reason I told you the story of six blind men

and the elephant

nowadays

the astrologers

astrology students now becoming part of that thing

they think that the individual thing ... the system, the process, the thumb impression

the palm leave

that in exactly nadi astrology

which is not

so now i hope

you understand

what exactly is nadi astrology now I hope that

the people when they will tell that

my system is nadi astrology

you will ask that no

there is no nadi writer involved you are not teaching the indexing

technique

how to write those batch processes

then it can not be called nadi astrology

now before i close i want to highlight

for the genuine seeker who want to get their

horoscope read

through the nadi astrologer

there is also something called mantra nadi

and this mantra nadi

is something
