Acknowledgements 1bis book is written out of need. I found the transit rules as described in the classical way work sometimes and at other times they do not work. With the passage of time and my personal interactions with nadi astrologers whom I met, I found that they gave very quick predictions without going through the details of dasha and/or bhukthi/ antar in a horoscope. The reading was done very fast and I found it to be quite accurate in the broad sense. Their sense of timing was nearly perfect. The principles elucidated in the book are truly not used anywhere by anyone and are born out of practical experiences I had when I used transits on the charts that I had in my possession. I met Lion Parthasarthy ofTriplicane, Chennai in his astrology class for a very brief period. He once mentioned that transits can be seen from the lagna also. That was the starting point of my astrological journey and I moulded myself into this school of thought even while absorbing many other astrologers' observations made in their published works. Of course, this method has many inspirations and one such was Shri K.N. Rao's method of taking both, Saturn and Jupiter's double transits to see events. Shri C.G. Rajan's book on Nadi Amshas was useful in terms of how to use the amshas. Shri R.G. Rao's Bhrighu Nandi Nadi, a book which was pivotal in cracking the interpretations my way, though I could not bring myself to accept what he has given as his principles of nadi. Above all I am thankful and consider myself blessed by the Divine Mother Goddess 'Bala Tripurasundari'. I have always been able to understand very quickly any complex technique from any source in an easy way due to the Divine Mother's blessings. I feel it is something very spiritual that I experience and 1 have no doubt I am chosen and blessed by the Divine Mother to spread Her message as lucidly and as simply as possible to as many people. I believe my daily meditation sessions give me the insight to understand any subject, be it astrology, ayurveda, siddha, basic concepts of vastu,

Saraswathi and my late father, Shri Balasubramanian, were my best critics and ifl have understood human relations and life's subtleties it is thanks to them as also my younger brother, Shri K.B.

About The Author Shri K.B. Gopalakrishnan was born to Smt. Saraswathi and Shri Balasubramanian on 6th January, 1970 at Chennai. His native is a village in Koyamballl near Tiruchirapalli District. His father was a good palmist, though he gave it up all of a sudden after the age of 30 for some unknown reason. Late Shri K. Balasubramanian worked for the textile department, government of Tamil Nadu and retired as an Assistant Director. He used to travel on work, his passion was to visit the local temples in the vicinity and he was very good in describing the paddhathi of those temples about which he gathered much information. His last posting was at the Kanchipuram District. As he knew the history of the temples In and around Kanchipuram, he wanted to settle down in this temple town in his last days. He did take up residence for a very brief period but had to keep visiting his Chennai residence on and off for health check-ups. After he retired he wished to take up voluntary service for the Kanchi Mutt under Sri Jayendra Saraswati Swamigal but could not stay away from his family due to health reasons. In the year 2005 in August, he died of a massive heart attack in the lap of his son, K.B. Gopalakrishnan, who had just then returned from a tour of Singapore. His mother retired as matron in the Stanley Medical Hospital, Chennai in the year 1998.KB. Gopalakrishnan, true to his birth asterism/ nakshatra is the jyestha suputra of his parents. His maternal grandfather was an astrologer. The author comes from a devoutTelugu Brahmin family hailing from Trichy in Tamil Nadu. His mother's side w~ the influencing factor in his taking up astrology as a profession. In his early years he was exposed to the family discussing astrology. His maternal uncles and their sons are all astrologers settled in Chennai. The influence for taking up these subjects was formed quite early in the life of the author. His great grandmother was a much sought-after ayurvedic doctor and also a practising astrologer. People would send her a bullock cart to get their ailing family members treated. She was much respected 7

for her knowledge of ayurveda and astrology. Her husband, the author's great grandfather is credited with having built the Kodandarama Swamy temple where regular prayers are offered till date in their native village. The author had graduated in B.Sc. Chemistry. He was most influenced by his teacher Shri Kirtie Futnani who told him that he would one day guide people and was not suited to take up studying for an MBA or an lAS. Then he met Prof Jaishekhar, (a famed crystal gazer who later settled down in France), who reconfirmed this vision for the author to take this subject more seriously than ever before.

The Need to Share these Favourite and Practical Techniques This is a book on nadi principles which are based on the Bhrigu Nandi, Nadi technique of predicting an outcome. There have been many books on the subject of nadi but none has given clear-cut and snapshot methods to predict events from a horoscopic chart. Many have discussed the subject of nadi at length but have seldom explained techniques which give results when applied to charts. A lay astrologer will be immensely benefitted with the principles shown in this book as he will have a head-start in giving predictions. It requires deep knowledge and deeper understanding taking many years for a person to give some good and correct predictions from a chart. There are as many parameters to be taken to give a good reading. Nadi readers do not depend much on dasha or bhukti/antar to give out events, but depend mainly on transits over the natal position of planets in a chart which makes for a very user-friendly system. It sustains the interest of the beginner in studying this divine subject in depth at a later point in time. This author does not claim that this system is complete and hence with the learning and practice of this system anyone can become an expert in coming out with perfect predictions from the word go. This system is a booster and this author would encourage beginners to keep up with their study of Hindu astrology in depth for a thorough knowledge. I have sought to blow away the veil which keeps the cover over these snap-shot techniques in a very unique way. I feel proud to say that I have the distinction of cracking the code for predicting events without the use of too many details or calculations except to ~now when certain key planets are transiting and in which sign/rashi. I have also been successfully predicting about world events besides 9

The Need to Share

Practical Application of Nadi Techniques

doing individual readings for those who come to me for guidance and predictions. I have tested my knowledge in Bhrigu Nandi Nadi very successfully with more than 85 to90% success in my predictions coming out accurate. I have many people approaching me increasingly due to my using various other techniques also alongwith the nadi way of reading a chart. These are systems which help reconfmn what I see in a chart. I have shared these secrets in early 2006 with my students like Jayashree Ramalingam and many others like G. Kennedy, Gautam, Shiva, Lakshmi, Lata, etc. Some of them turned out to be very successful professional astrologers. I am happy to know from them that all are using these techniques to good advantage besides employing other techniques they have learnt, over a period of time. In this book containing 19 chapters I wish to open up quick atfirst-glance snapshot techniques which will be useful to boost the confidence of an astrologer further when he/she gets a positive response from the quierist. With this book the world will be surprised at the simple and very dear steps ofnadi techniques that I use. I now share these secrets in these upcoming chapters to predict life events. Anyone practising these techniques is bound to feel that he has a fantastic approach and insight in the subject if only to feel motivated to learn more about Hindu astrology. There is' much ground to be covered and I am further researching on them step by step, on the horoscopes that come to me. I shall, god willing, share these rare insights in future only ifl find such results are truly replicable. I have sought to give the readers of this book as many live examples so that anyone with a basic knowledge about planets, signs, lordships and transit rules will right away start having success in a broad sense, with predicting events of the past and also for the future, for any chart.

Introduction and Dedication My humble. beginning in Nadi Astrology 1bis is a complete book on nadi though not the last word on it. There are some books in nadi but none have spoken so clearly and exhaustively as I have tried to do in this first book of mine. Some books are just compilation of shlokas or making a passing mention of one or two techniques. In this book a sincere attempt is made to present what is nadi all about in a very comprehensive and practical way so that these techniques can be applied by many astrologers in their daily practice. I was fascinated by nadi astrology. The reason for that was at the age of 21, I had the good fortune to meet a nadi astrologer who gave stunning predictions, all of which have come true so far. Having met lot of nadi astrologers at a later point in time, I can say that none paralleled the first nadi reader's predictions for me. He said I would become a trikala gnani and would become famous after 30 years of age. He mentioned about the exchange of Venus and Jupiter in my chart indicating my learning many subjects without any teachers. He was the most non-impressive ofnadi readers I have ever met. In the sense he would be so restless that getting a full reading in one sitting was near impossible. He would get distracted even while reading a chart! BUT all his predictions came out 100% correct. I could learn ayurveda, vastu, astrology, feng shui, healing, meditation. This is what he told me: You will become master of six arts and become famous after age 30 and also get married at 28" (both of which came true). I now practice astrology, ayurveda, tarot cards, numerology, feng shui and vastu as a professional. I can go to any of these conferences and with ease I can command respect from the professional audience. He also said a lot about the future, which has come true one by one. 11

Introduction and Dedication

Practical Application of Nadi Techniques

''You will become a teacher at a young age. Will become world famous". I used to wonder whether all this will come true. With time each and every prediction started coming true. I got a chance to speak on a slot on Jaya TV due to my friend, Karthik's recommendation. That programme turned out to be so popular that people would contact me even for ordinary everyday problem solving. Many people saw my programme on Jaya TV beamed from Chennai and came to meet me. They were from different countries like Qatar, Srilanka etc. I used to talk on any subject of my choice and nothing was edited out ultimately from the TV segment. The talk would run as it was shot with no cuts with the programme directors and editors giving me a free hand in doing the show my way. I knew this nadi reader who predicted about my becoming master of six arts was correct after all. What really made me wonder about it all later was because I did not know even one art properly at age Zl! I used to write articles in mundane astrology in sifY.com'sastrology coloumns with many of my predictions coming true. Many Indians living abroad started visiting me from America. Some of them even told me whenever they visited India they made it a point to visit Chennai, only to meet me and no one else. I no longer appear on Jaya TV nor do I write for sify.com but I do have a website in which I express my opinions freely without fear or favour. The reader can check this site: www .sathyaprema.com Anyway I have taken several nadi readings and met a man who taught me the rules of Ganapathy Nadi. I have also impressed nadi astrologers with my predictive skills! I met a nadi astrologer who had Dhanus lagna and four planets in his seventh house of spouse. Using nadi techniques, I asked him whether he fell in love with a girl but left her and got married to his present wife. He was absolutely awestruck because it was true. In this book I will proceed in the journey of revealing nadi techniques. I will share quite a few of these nadi astrology techniques without going into the details of how I got them. I feel one needs to understand how to use these techniques. I have not unravelled all the nadi techniques but only a part of them. I am sure there are many · techniques remaining unexplored even as of now. I never used to believe that anything was hidden in the world as parampara. After learning nadi I understood that many insights about 12

this system was washed away by time and now it needs to retrieved. Exchange of mails between an European Professor who is working on nadi principles and the author

Here I am going to share an experience I had with an European professor, one Mr. Martin George from Switzerland who is researching in nadi astrology. He was kind enough to send me his thesis later. I requested him to send me details of any horoscope and that I would send my readings as comments. He agreed and sent me one person's birth particulars. The following is an exchange of mails which will give the readers a clear idea of how I did the reading without knowing any details about the person in question. I also believe the test of doing nadi astrology for a person whose background details are not known beforehand. These mail exchanges are a fine example of this. (Note: These mails are not edited so that they convey the original thoughts of both parties. They are presented just as they were written by this author and the professor from Europe). Letter one Dear Mr Gopalakrishnan,

Vanakkam. Thank you for your interest in my PhD thesis. As it is out of print and may not be accessible in India, I am attaching it in electronic format; however, please keep it to yourself. Best regards, Professor Letter two Dear Gopal,

That is a very interesting offer. Have a look, then, at this chart of a young woman: 4 September, 1981, at 08:45 CET, in Lund, Sweden (13£1 1, 55N42). Lagna should be around 11 *30' Virgo, depending on the pr((cise ayanamsha used. I look forward very much to hearing your conclusions. Yours, Professor Letter three

Dear Gopal, Mon, 17 Apr 2006 14:13:18 +0200 Please do call me Martin. Thanks for your snap reading of the young lady's chart. I am glad to say that it is correct in many specifics: 13

>Let us not worry on source. This naturally makes me very curious as to the source! :-) But if you Do not wish to tell, that is of course your prerogative. As for telling you all the techniques I use, I suppose you mean Nadi-reiated ones? (Otherwise the list may grow long ... ) I learned the basics of this style of astrology first from R.G. Rao, mainly through His books and also by some personal teaching in 1993. So basically I know everything that he has put into writing. As you are no doubt familiar with these books, I don't suppose I have to go into great detail. It is all based on combinations of natural significators (karakas) in the various signs of the zodiac. Frankly speaking, I find Rao's writings to be of very mixed quality; I suspect that the good things come from nadi texts, and the not so good things from Rao himself. Later, in I 995 or '96, I met Kailash Shanker in Delhi, who claimed that his father had done some research into Bhrigu Nadi based on Nepalese manuscripts. He showed me how the timing of events (at least in some texts) seemed to be based not on actual transits, but rather on a system of symbolic progression at the rate of 1Z years for one sign. It is this system that I have continued to explore, expanding it to include not just the planets as karakas, but the cusps and rulers of houses as well. I have also experimented successfully with some other rates. Apart from these, I have looked into transit and other techniques from another group of nadi texts: the Devakerala, including Guru Nadi, Dhruva Nadi, and Amsha Nadi. You will have seen excerpts from these texts in my PhD thesis. I got the manuscripts (copied from South Indian sources) from C.S. Patel of Mumbai, who has also written some articles and books on such techniques (though I believe he has not always understood them correctly). This is the nadi-based material I have worked with so far. If there Is anything further you need to know, just tell me so; I have nothing to hide. I look forward very much to hearing more about your own precepts and practices. Yours cordially, Professor.

A few words about people who matter most to me Before proceeding any further I take this opportunity in thanking a few people who have stood by me, helped me in my times of crisis, encouraged me to go on with my passion for astrology, shared with 15

me their own experiences and insights with other astrologers and nadi readers. They are my friend Shankar who has shared many techniques in astrology and also he was my compt•ter man who used to take care of all my computer needs, softwares and damage controls to my computer system. Saravanan, a dear friend, whose knowledge in nadi techniques is good but limited to aphorisms with whom 1 used to meet and interact a lot whenever I attended the ICAS lectures in Chennai. Next is San deep Ellubol, a young student from a local engineering college, who used to stay put at our house and help me with programmir,p bits of softwares which •vere mostly custom built for my use. He beca, •e much sought after ir. his college for his knowledge in astrology. He is away in UK on higher studies. I had the fortune to come into contact with a young boy who was a fluatist and very quick at learning tarot reading and astrology from me. I would fondly call him Bamboo Boy for his connection with the flute. I can never forget his playing music for us on those special days. Vijay Bhaskar had consulted many astrologers all over Tamil Nadu came to learn the subject from me after he got a correct prediction. It was about his Sun dasha (Mesha rising with exalted Sun in it) getting him in trouble. All other astrologers had predicted grand success for him during this dasha. Trusting their judgement he pumped more and more money into his businesses which failed miserably and pushed him into a lot of unnecessary debts. He was also elder to me in age. G .Kennedy, who used to work in sifv.com and later gave up his job to take astrology lessons from me. He is now a successful astrologer offering his services on the web. Maheash, a software engineer learnt this subject out of interest. Gautam, who is in the stock market learnt astrology out of interest. Jayashree, Shiva, Lata, Lakshmi, etc., were all my later students who used to inspire me to carry on with astrology with renewed vigour. The best among the lot is Jayashree who came to me initially for tarot classes. She learnt astrology also from me. To her I am indeed indebted for standing by me in my times of crisis. She unwaveringly helped me overcome by taking my workload upon herself. I taught her many techniques, I have not taught to any of my students of the past. She truly deserved it for the service she rendered me so devotedly and uncomplainingly. I am happy about her sincere devotion to her teacher. She writes her predictions on mundane astrology on my website. She is on the panel of slfy.com. 16

. Some Insights about Nadi Readings (i) The Basics of Nadi Astrology

Certain clarifications need to be done before we proceed with the techniques of nadi astrology in this book. 1bis will give a fair idea to people about what nadi astrology is all about. Certain concepts and misconceptions will be clarified in this chapter in a frank manner. (ii) Types of Nadi

There are different kinds of nadis. They are Bhrigu Nandi Nadi, Sukar Nadi, Siva Vakya Nadi, Agastiyar Nadi. Each has its own format. For example, the Agaistyar Nadi starts with saint Agastiyar praying to respective deities for e.g., Valli and lord shanmukha for marriage, lord Shiva for general life predictions. In Shiva Vakya Nadi the readings run like conversation pieces between Shiva and Parvathi discussing the native's past and future. In some other nadis, conversation between Nandi and the Rishis, between the Rishis and goddess Parvathi take place. The important thing one has to understand here is that each of these nadis use different techniques for predictions. They do not use a single technique alone. It is a cluster of techniques that are used for forecasting. Sometimes the Rishis seem to jump beyond logic or technique and start using intuition to give stunning insights but basically they use techniques of transits, paryaya etc. this is the first understanding that needs to be kept in mind. (iii) How Nadi Readers Cast the Horoscope?

Many peopie either use the ephemeris or software programmes to cast a horoscope. Very experienced astrologers take very little time in casting the horoscope. The position or placement of the slow moving planets have great importance in the rasi chart. For example, for persons born in 18

Some Insights about Nadi

1970 most will have Saturn in Mesha, Jupiter in Tula and Rahu-Ketu in Kumbha-Simha. The first methodology used by many nadi astrologers is remembering the position of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu for several years. This can be remembered roughly because Jupiter takes one year, Rahu-Ketu eighteen months and Saturn two and a half years to transit from one rashi to another. Then position of Sun is very simple to remember as it is poised for a month in each sign. They also know that Venus and Mercury will be within ninety degrees from Sun. Next the Moon can be fixed as Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. These days many nadi readers ask for the birth particulars from their clients and start giving predictions. If any person does not give his/her birth particulars or do not answer questions to help them to find possible planetary positions for their chart then their palm leaf will make a disappearing act and not be there to read from! My friend Shankar gave me an insight about this. He told me that if people do not co-operate with the south Indian nadi astrologer then the reply will be, ''olal (Tamil word for palm leaf) cannot be found". The reason is very simple. They will need some props and some kind of aflmnation with regard to the horoscope to fix the kind of pattern required for the person. This guess of mine is reasonably correct as it happened in my case with an elderly astrologer quickly casting my horoscope within minutes of my telling my date, time and place ofbirth.

(iv) The Panchanga they Use They use only the Vakya panchanga. This also I can confmn with 100% authenticity. They do not use any other panchanga. They show no interest, whatsoever, in the drig ganitha. (v) The Way they Calculate the Lagna Taking the thumb Impression of the client, the lagna is arrived at. One Mr.Parathasarthy of Madras, a famous astrologer who lived in Triplicane, Chennai, had perfected it. I was present when he was training up another student in the system of finding a lagna with thumb impressions. He then looked at my own thumb and declared that I was a Dhanus lagna person. I was stunned because I have had a doubt whether I have a Makara or Dhanus rising, as the degrees are very 19

close in my case. The method ofR.G. Rao throws insight on how it can be done. He had written a book on the thumb imprints and finding the lagna for any person. Most nadi astrologers do not go through cumbersome processes these days! They get the birth particulars with the help ofwhich they cast the horoscope just like we all do these days with the advent of computers and supporting softwares. These are modern days and many nadi readers do not want to learn the hard way in maintaining their parampara in this specialized skill. They simply get the thumb impression alongwith the birth details! (vi) The Kind of Techniques they Use

I have had discussions with many nadi astrologers. Many of them don't even have rudimentary knowledge of the Jaimini astrology, use ofTajika charts or use of Chakras. They depend mainly on the Parashari rules of astrology. They will always claim to the general public that they have no knowledge of astrology but all of them are taught astrology in a concise manner. Different nadis employ different techniques. This is a very important point to note. There is no standardized way of interpreting a chart. Some of the techniques vary from reader to reader. Then they employ aphorisms, which are easy to interpret. They employ the rules of transits extensively, which are truly stunning, effective and accurate. Some ofthe examples of how they read combinations are given below. Whenever there is an exchange between Jupiter and Venus the native will be multifaceted in the arts. Sun in Simha will produce a powerful father for the native with the exception of a person with Dhanus rising. Stress is also given on upasana deity so that the person gains a lot of intuitive skills. The nadi reader generally does these upasanas himself. One person locates the correct palm leaf. Another person reads it to the client and later records it on a tape. (vii) Nadi and Amshas

I will not go into the intricacies of this topic to avoid the controversy of how the nadi amsha is calculated. These days some softwares are programmed to give out the nadi amshas very quickly. I have not seen 20

any nadi reader using these. There are 150 nadi amshas. This is got by multiplying the five divisions in one degree in each rashi, made up of 0 to 30 degrees. We get 150 by multiplying 5 in a degree with the 30 degrees in one rashi. Each nadi amsha spans a few seconds only, therefore no two persons born at around the same date, time, place will have similar destinies. There are different interpretations given to what each nadi amsha means. A few are mentioned for the reader's benefit. The five elements or pancha bhootas are taken to mean each of the five segments in each degree is one school ofthought. This is again sub-divided into purva bhaga and uttara bhaga. These have repeatedly been appearing many times in astrology magazines. In general this will give a broad-based idea of how the person's life is going to be. This can also be said to be an index of how the person's life is going to be. This topic will be covered a bit more elaborately in the last chapter of this book. (viii) How the Nadi Amsha is Interpreted?

The quality is added to functional benefic and malefic in the amsha. For example my fourth lord Mars is in the Viswa Amsha. Vishwa means universal. Secondly, the general malefic and benefic significances are added. For example the Moon's placement in one of the amshas of Vrischika is considered very negative for the mother. Thirdly I firmly believe that Katpayadi Vargas are used for interpretations. In case anyone has doubts on what I say they are requested to compile the purva bhaga and uttara bhaga which could easily confmn what I state here. Intuition helps the nadi readers while giving readings. I am yet to see a South Indian nadi astrologer use the nadi amshas extensively. (ix) How they Find Remedial Measures?

Nadi employs remedial measures extensively, which produce very good results. In general the remedial measures mainly stress on the native going to a temple, doing charity, which means donations of articles or food items and chanting shlokas. These come under the Parihara Kaandam and also Deeksha Kaandam. Parihara deals with any specific problem in the life of the native like delay in getting married, childbirth, health, court cases, career and freedom from debts. They do not believe in gemstones or change of name. Nadi astrology prescribes remedial measures which are simple in 21

nature. All the pariharas have three stages. For an event like marriage to take place the remedial measure suggested will be a visit to ancient temple for the same, known as the Thirumanancheri near the Tanjore belt. To beget a child it is Srimushnam temple and for a safe delivery of the unborn baby it Is the Garbha Rakshambigal temple. These are a few examples of how prayers at certain temples are suggested for a particular type of problem. Secondly, a set of temples in the navagraha kshetra will be suggested. An example would make it easier to understand. For a Makara Rising native who has his 5L in the 1ZH along with Sun, the 8L, he was asked to go to Kanjanur, then Suryanaar temple, and the rasi lord Jupiter's temple in Alangudi (where these planets are poised). Srimushnam and the Garbha Rakshamabigai temple were also suggested. Then chanting of mantras will be suggested depending on two things, viz., based on the dasha ofVimshottari a person is running. For e.g., Saturn dasha means Hanuman and also for the bhukthl/antar lord, if for e.g. He's is running the Venus bhukthi/antar then Its prayers to Mahalakshmi.

If the parihara is suggested for delay in either marriage or child birth then the native will be asked to recite hymns to the fifth lord and the planets associated with it. For e.g. for Sun and Venus combining in the 1ZH, for a Makara rising native, the parihara suggested will be reciting the Mahalakshmi and Shiva mantras. (Mahalakshmi is for Venus and Lord Shiva is for Sun). For the karkaka for child which is Jupiter one will be asked to a light lamp or do abhisekam to lord Dakshinamoorthy on a Thursday. li:J: case the native is not in a position to chant or do remedial 'mea·ii~res the nadi reader will offer to do it on behalf of the native t~~ough his family priest in his village in Tanjore and sufficient money is collected in advance for such proxy prayers. Money is also collected for general reasons like donating a vastra or other items. This is most common way a nadi reader prescribes remedies in South India. (x) How do they Find Names of Family Members? This is my guess and I may be off the mark with this method. Nevertheless I am sharing it with the readers what I guess could be the method. 22

Usually the name of one's parents, the name and age at which the person consulting his nadi, is read from the palm leaf. Age can be guessed by simply calculating the date of birth and the current period! Should a person born in the 1970sgo for a reading in 2008 then his age of consulting the nadi will be told as 3 8. For the name finding, the Tamil letters are connected to different drekkana, for e.g., the letters ka, cha, ta,pa, ra, is for the first drekkanna, ga, na, rna, gna, is for the second drekkana and for the third and last one it is ya, ra, Ia, va. Almost all the Indian names are based on the Indian deities. For e.g., when its either ofMercury's house rising then the person's name will have a Vishnu related name. Should the first house have Mars' aspect then the name will be based on lord Subramania. The names can have connection with names of trees, flowers, animals, rivers. The following guidelines can be used as a starting point to research into this area. For e.g., though I have Makara as my lagna, Mercury is poised in the first house, so my name will be connected with lord Vishnu. Variations of Vishnu should lead us to Gopalakrishnan, one of his avatara. My friend, Karthik has Mars aspecting his lagna so his name can be connected with lord Subramaniya's which is karthikeya or a related name. My teacher, Kirtie Futnani has Venus as lagna lord and his name is connected with fame - Kirtie My cousin's name Is Vidya and she has Venus in her lagna, one of the names ofthe Venus is Sanjivlni Vidya. These kinds of variations of names are used to arriving at the correct name. These nadi readers also make discreet enquiries to grasp the name quickly. In any case nadi techniques will work with or without finding the name of the native. Some of them have only medical nadi palm leaves which makes it tougher for them to survive in the market. In the name of finding one's correct palm leaf the nadi readers tend to ask innocent questions and ask us to say only yes or no. They do manage to get a sketch of our lives which could help them to predict quickly. I will say with surety that nadi techniques are very simple in nature. They are not very complex and do not involve too much of maths or calculations. Approximate information also does seem to satisfy and impress people than getting a very accurate prediction from a nadi 23

reader. Since this tradition is passed down verbally, there is an aura of mysteriousness and sacredness to it.

(xi) Do Nadi Readers Cheat and do Readings Fail? Yes I myselfknow that many times there have been cheating and failed readings. They are quick with their readings with a few past events coming out correct but that does not mean they are always accurate and infallible. Their way of reading quickly stuns the audience and they find many takers for their services even if it were for curiosity's sake. Some people will wonder how I got some of these techniques. All I would say is that, may the source remain a mystery. Even the best of my students still do not know the source of my nadi astrology techniques as it has been kept a secret. I know of some instances where people have been ripped of huge amounts for remedial measures where there was nothing written in palm leaves. But this is another way of making huge money from gullible clients. The human mind can be pure with the grace of god. Many of them are honest and would not cheat the public but one should also be aware that there are many sheep in wolfs clothing.

PREFACE KN.Rao The following extracts of correspondence between Rama Iyer whom I regard as a very respectable and principled woman will explain the background to the publication of this book. It is for the readers to judge how original, useful and good snapshot method this system ofNadi prediction is as revealed by Gopal. My desire and decision to publish the book is to help a struggling author who has had bad experience with some publishers as Rama has said in this correspondence. The Correspondence From: "rama, rama, rama, [email protected]> To: "knr raoji"

Dear KN. Raoji .... He had written two titles in astrology. One on nadi and another on mundane astrology. Nadi I had edited two years back on his request. I have been using those techniques and find them stunningly work without even checking which dasha or antar. These are snapshot techniques in nadi, particularly bhrigu nandi nadi techniques. Out of 10 chapters I had already edited 6 and sent it across at that time. I think he needed some help from me in getting his work published. Would you be interested in taking up the publication of the same under Van!? After hearing from you I shall send you the preface which i wrote just this week and am trying to find some worthwhile people who could do justice to his techniques. He is trying to bring out the secrets which are hidden while using the nadi techniques. Editing does take time. I asked him about Vani Publications and he said he does not have any objection hence I am now writing to you on this subject. 6 May 2008 Rama, .... Vani Publications is not a commercial publication like other 25

publishing houses. I started it after I was cheated by more than seven publishers who published nine books of mine and paid me no royalty and gave me only ten books. In the agreement they said they wouldprlnt only one thousand copies but they printed more than three thousand copies and even reprinted. My book on ... was sold more than fifty thousand copies but I got only ten copies of the book and no royalty. It was a first hand experience ofthe world of publishers and distributors. Then I got my books published in my brother's small press and cleared my debts to him slowly as I did not (and even now do not have) any capital for a commercial venture. Slowly, when I collected some money I am getting it published In Delhi out of some funds in the trust we have created. Then some of the students of BVB also wrote books and they were published ~y Vani Publications.

What we do is 1. Publish one thousand copies, out of which fifty are distributed as complimentary copies. 2. Pay five to ten thousand rupees to the author. 3. Give him fifty copies (even one hundred to the author) which he cart sell himself directly or through distributors and make some thousands of rupees. 4. There is no agreement form to be signed. 5. I help the author get established after which he can approach any publisher with the second edition or with a new book. Gopal's book If Gopal agrees to these conditions we can publish his book. But before we decide, I would like to read the introduction and a chapter or two or predictive principles. A friend of mine here in NOIDA has done excellent work on Bhrigu, gets stunning predictions. He is a member of six or seven libraries in northern India which have Bhrigu manuscripts. I know the method and he discussed them with me. KN.Rao. From: "rama, rama, wrote: March 11th 2006. dear A.S. Rama as I recall telling you that you will have the opportunity to either build a new home or renovate an old house this year itself which will be before November 2006, If you do not get an opportunity to do that then it looks quite possible towards 2008-09. (He is planning to renovate his house now- June, 2008 which he could not take up due to the birth of his son during this time).

The Editor's Note

I think you are in for some kind of promotion job wise or some new dept change where you will get recognition as seen from 25th June 2006 onwards till about July, 2007. (He got into a new and better job in an urban bank as an officer in July, 2007) you will undergo a positive personality change also. (He's become more cheerful now as he is the only staff in his Branch Office). m this period you will get not only good job prospects but also whatever inner pain you were undergoing in the past few years also will slowly start going away which is good news. there is also indication that you will have a child born which i mentioned when you were here. (child was born after 11 months of his marriage in mid-Jan, 2006). if you have had a desire to undertake some higher education then you will fmd a way to pursue it now but with some ,, more efforts only. (he did not pursue any course) > you will also start acquiring material things related to home appliances for a comfortable living. (he did buy some gadgets for his house). After November 2006 until about May 2008 you must take care about a decrease in incomes (which could also mean your pay will be cut for loans taken or some such thing) or expenses being more than incomes also is indicated. (no confirmation on this yet) Yru must avoid verbal fights with close ones around August to December 2006. There will be many occasions when chances of fights at office and home will surface but restrain yourself as much as possible. It is good for you. Right now also at office everything is not alright since September 2004 onwards. Right? There has been a lot of office politics and gossip about some thing or the other. And you seem to have been affected very badly in many ways. Ladies in the office may also be connected with this gossip.

his mother's support and blessings. He did not get married. He is

not able to get along with his mother which he agreed was his greatest problem in life. Other than nadi techniques were used to foretell certain events but I will mention how using these nadi techniques helped me in telling him about some events one year before itself. He came back the next year also for his annual predictions. I wish to say I forecast for only one year or maximum one and half years.

Reading done for the first time on 1Oth Oct., 2006 1. You were a sick child until age 8 or 9 years. (yes) 2. You may have had to take a break before you did your post graduation studies. or you may not have been able to do your PG even though you were desirous of doing it. (yes, could not pursue pg degree though I wanted to). 3. There is indication of job breaks for you. you mentioned you were in business. even in business you may be forced to change many projects or ideas. {yes.

4.

he's in the share market and also exports some items from Chennai, is in the money-lending business also).

However the year from 1997 onwards you had grand ideas which you struggled to put through but it must have been in 1999 these ideas must have shaped up well giving you some recognition and the courage to carry on ahead with it. if you 102

The Editor's Note

were In a job then this must have been the time you must have moved out to do something on your own. it required a lot of courageous decisions on your part to take some very bold and far reaching steps. your life underwent a lot of major changes around this time. (yes, branched out on my own a little later than suggested by you). 5. From year 2000, you may have had partnerships with people and there Is also indication that you settled down to married life around this time. {no marriage yet, but was In love and Jnterestedin a girl around '" that year). 6. But once mid-2004 started your problems began slowly. You have had to face some of the worst humiliating situations in life. Your rivals might have troubled you in many ways. You felt pained at times. Your business may also have run into some problems with less Incomes or losses even. You may have faced loss of status and position.

(yes to all of this! remember its the Tr.Saturn in his 8H of Karkataka).

7. But If your business is connected to research then you may have got some good and positive breakthrough by stumbling upon some useful secrets! (no. only money lending business hence huge losses). 8. Some of elders in the family also would have faced health problems. Also there is indication of a sudden illness or even a surgery for you last year, maybe throat got affected.

(yes. throat operation is right. Ketu is in Pushyami is the hint I can give you readers).

9. But there have been positive earnings which were of sudden nature, quite unexpected during this period. Those which your rivals were about to get but you got. Their loss becoming your gain. You may have inherited a piece of an ancestral property during this time or a gift left out by an elder to you. (yes to inheritance from grandpa but no to rivals losing out to me in business). 10. From the beginning of this year you may have visited holy places. Met some gurus or been to some ashrams. got close to religious people and visited astrologers also to understand the meaning of life. you may have understood some spiritual matters more clearly with the help of spiritual people. 103

(yes. have been to many astrologers. have also come to you now). 11. The future as I see the next year will be a mixed one. But the time has come when problems will get solved in a slow manner only and not overnight. 12. Be patient and do your karma or action without hesitating or thinking too much about quick results or returns. 13. You must control your expenses in the coming times for at least one year from now as money will not stay with you and will go in different ways. Be cautious about business deals as there could be hidden and sudden expenses involved in It. You may have to dip into your savings but you will be able to somehow manage the situation with some borrowings. Avoid speculation or if you have to do it then be cautious and patient with stocks and shares. Cost cutting necessary. Be diplomatic with people around you. This is a time when sleep could also get disturbed for one worry or the other. Take one project at a time. Go slow. Meditation will certainly help. Take care of your health. 14. However there are indications that you might get foreign contacts which will prove very useful to you. You have just a wee bit of a chance to earn big bucks from foreign countries if you pursue deals or projects. Again be careful of related expenses both planned and unplanned. I see this change for the better for you In many ways. 15. Use the coming period in a very positive manner. These are the beginning of good times and end of serious problems of the past. God will show you a fresh path and will give you leads to start afresh. You will also be able to repay your debts in a slow and steady manner to borrowers. From December, 2006 to March, 2007 is a fluid period. Later work will flow smoothly for you. You will control losses and God-willing there will be sudden improvement in business and you will start seeing gains. As a result your belief in God will lead you to go to temples and fulfil vows you might have taken in the past 2 years for whatever reasons. This is a time when you will feel a change in the way you think about your higher-ups, elderly people especially gurus and father-figures. This could be a negative type of feelings, there could be misunderstandings with them. Do not provoke them and earn their curses is the caution for you. Keep your ego a little suppressed for some more time. 104

The Editor's Note

16. You might get new contacts around next year and prosper under new authority. 17. Please be careful with your cell phone as there is a chance of it getting lost somewhere or stolen. 18. Your computer will give problems. It would be a good idea to take a back of all computer data onto cds as you might lose all the data to computer virus during this sensitive period I have mentioned above. 19. Speak only as much as required and remain low key for your own good. if possible patch up with your brother now.

(you can see the reference to Tr.Rahu-Ketu in his 3/9 axis).

All the points in italics occurred just the way It was written beforehand itself. He lost his cell phone not once but twice. He lost all his computer data to a virus and had to replace his hard disk start from scratch. He rang up and also came the next year for another round of predictions too.

Mahalakshmi Gopalakrishnan, Chennai. Any more questions you want to ask me specifically? She says please tell me about my daughter.

One lookat Mars in the 6H made me askJ ''Is she sick, which is quite a mystery about why the ailment came at all?" Yes. very true. 5 years back. I ask whether there's been some relieffor the past 6 months? She says yes tnere has been some relief all of a sudden these past 6 or 7 months. (tr Jupiter in Dhanus right now). But they dont know how this girl got eczema, a kind of skin allergy in the first place 5 years back. (remember the lady's worries got intense during this time. I almost cursed myself for not analysing this one carefully as tr. Saturn is aspecting her 5L and rahu from her 12H in 2002-03. But I did learn something from this lapse!). She was engaged to be married and after this occured the groom's party went back on its promise. I just left it at that as they have not consulted me with the girl's horoscope. I wondered whether the girl had a Mars-Mercury combination in a fiery rashi to induce this disease. When the mother asked me what she should do to overcome all this. I suggested that she light a lamp every Tuesday during Rahu Kaalam for Ma Durga between 3 pm and 4.30 pm. this will give them some mental relief by going to a temple for the problem. I have also recommended them to approach a very good homeopath who might be able to cure such a disease. 1 felt very bad for their condition and assured them that I will pray for her getting well soon. Many important points have been arrived at just by using Copal's nadi techniques which are so easy and work really well for me in analysing any chart as you can see with this latest chart which 1 analysed just today for Mrs. M.R.
