Nadi Astrology Learning Center in Kolkata By Rabindranath Ghosh
Naadi in Sanskrit means any tube or pipe, vein, any tubular organ of the body, Nerve, pulse, box of a wheel, tubular stalk or any plant or any tubular organ, artery, any hole or crevice, any pipe or tube. In Tamil the word Naadi gives many expressions such as “Search” or search of existence, search of past. Astrology is the study of movements and position of the planets like Sun, moon, mars etc. and stars in the belief that they affects the character and life of human beings.
There are various types of Naadi granthas, Chandra kala Naadi, Dhruva Naadi, Bhrigu Naadi, Naadi Naadi, Saptarishi Naadi, Vidyamadhaveeyam, Kakabhujandar Naadi. Guru Naadi, Buddha Naadi, Surya Naadi, Kapila Naadi, Vashistha Naadi,Shukra Naadi, and Pushya Naadi.
These Naadi systems have five different methods of giving readings. One set of granthas relates reading based on horoscopes with divisional reference points as with Dhruba Naadi, Chandrakala Naadi. Another set of Naadi goes with the stellar division. Another set of reading is based on signification of planets with or without relating to Dasa bhukti like Naadi Naadi and Bhrigu Naadi. One more set is called Mantra Naadi which has some occult interference.
Astrology is an ancient science, where the hidden answers are brought to light by using different principles and combination of planets. It is a matter of great pleasure to me that I came to contact with my Guru Sri Venkataram Srinivasan Shastry. The Naadi study made me creative in my thoughts because in Brighu Naadi the Ascendent (Lagna) is not taken into consideration. Starting from Aries (the head) to Pices (the feet) each sign has a different function and signification and the planets Rahu and Ketu are called as the family circle or roads in front of the house in which the native took birth, etc. After going through this type of study we can know the incidents which are supposed to happen or occur in a native’s life without much calculation and with less usage of principles. with these combinations one can easily know the age of marriage, nature of professions, nature of parents, financial development of the native, age at which the native will purchase land or house, death of the parents, etc. and these above mentioned happenings can be known without much strain and calculation in fraction of a second.
Hence I am greatly indebted to Lord Ganesh for the blessing he has given me my Guru. This work is only my effort of decoding the mystery of planets and its movements by searching the subjects of Brighu Naadi.
