Chapter 1
General Prediction
In this chapter, the reader identifies the individual based on the thumb impression:
Right Thumb Impression – Indicates a male native
Left Thumb Impression – Indicates a female native
In Nadi Astrology, the General Prediction is the foundational first chapter that unveils the soul’s spiritual blueprint. It reveals how past karmas shape present life, serving as a divine map written by ancient Maharishis through higher vision. Using the seeker’s thumb impression, the exact palm leaf is identified, and as it is read aloud in rhythmic Tamil verses, it confirms the individual’s identity with astonishing precision—name, parents’ names, birth star, rasi, planetary positions, family details, and even subtle personal facts. This verification assures the seeker that the leaf truly belongs to them, creating a deeply moving and sacred experience.
Once confirmed, the chapter expands into a compassionate overview of the seeker’s present life—health, mindset, emotional patterns, family relationships, education, and recurring challenges. It explains ongoing struggles through the lens of past-life karmas, planetary influences, and unfinished duties, offering clarity to long-standing questions. The Maharishi also provides gentle spiritual guidance, suggesting remedies not as superstition but as tools to dissolve karmic blocks and realign the soul. This first chapter often becomes a moment of awakening, reminding the seeker that life is purposeful, interconnected across lifetimes, and always open to healing and transformation.
