Nadi Astrology: Reading the Palm-Leaf Tradition
About Course
Nadi astrology occupies a distinct place in the Indian tradition, working from palm-leaf manuscripts rather than a calculated chart. This course examines the system as it is actually practised: how thumb impressions are classified, how bundles are located and verified, and how a Nadi reading is structured across its kandams.
The course is presented as a study of tradition and method. It covers what the sources say, how practitioners work, and how to evaluate claims critically.
Who this is for: students with some background in Jyotish who want to understand Nadi properly rather than through hearsay.
Prerequisite: basic familiarity with chart reading is recommended.
