It is believed that by reading through the writings on these leaves one can learn about one's past, identify the present and predict the future. It is said that thousands of years ago, the great sages of India had the power to look into the past and future of the entire universe. It is believed that they done this and recorded the life of each human being who has lived, is living and of some one who is yet to be born.These predictions were written on palm leaves in an ancient Tamil script, which can now only be deciphered by expert Nadi astrologers |

| These ancient scripts were standardized, ordered and classified in Tamil Nadu nearly 1000 years ago during the reign of the Cholas in South India. There are a number of Nadis who are named after the rishis. They are the Agasthiya Naadi, Suka Naadi, Brahma Naadi, Kaushika Naadi and others. There are only a few Naadi readers available who can interpret the inscriptions that are written in in poetic Tamil |
| |
| Each Naadi or set of leaves is made up of ola or palm leaf, written in Vatta ezhuthu, a Tamil script, with a sharp, nail-like instrument called ezhuthani. Rubbing peacock oil on auspicious occasions preserves the palm leaves. |

| These palm leaves are still preserved in the Saraswati Mahal Library in Thanjavur. The primary centre for Naadi Shastra is in Vaitheeswaran Koil |

People belonging to the Valluvar community in Tamil Nadu and were specialized in astrology bought most of these leaves. The astrology families in Vaitheeswaran Koil also acquired some of these. The leaves were found in Vaitheeswaran Koil around the 13th century. Those interested in Astrology realised their values and copied the contents on palm leaves and made exact replicas. These leaves have been handed down over generations to make predictions about the future. They earned their livelihood through Naadi Shashtra. They got trained by their elders to do the reading. |

| Vaasthu |
| Vaasthu is considered significant in India as it an ancient Indian science on the use and correctness of space. This stems from much more than the placement of a window or door during the construction of the house. The science works on the basic premise that the earth or soil is actually alive, and that all living or organic creatures emerge directly from it. This life force within the earth is called Vaasthu, and all objects placed on it share this life force. The earth therefore works as both substance and support. Vaasthu is also explained as the living space vas meaning to be or to live |
| |
| Elements of Vaasthu: Space, time and energy are traditionally perceived as existing in their free, unlimited state. Vaasthu believes that applying rhythm and order in other words, science to the way we live, move, and use time can discipline these three elements |
| |
| Vaasthu's History: This ancient Indian science Vaasthu is technical and was confined to architects or sthapathis and handed over by word of mouth or through hand-written monographs. It was treated as the science in the construction of temples and royal palaces. The principles of construction, architecture and sculpture have been incorporated in the science |
| |
| Epics like the Bruhatsamhita, Vishnu Dharmottara Purana, Viswakarma Vaasthu Sastra, Samarangana Sutra Dharana and Aparajita Prutchcha, have also been responsible for Vaasthu being considered a science |
| |
| Early works on Vaasthu: The first official treatise on Vaasthu, the Kashyapa Shilpa, has been attributed to sage Kashyapa. In the treatise Agama Sastra, which explains the science of temples, Vaasthu is considered the basis for any type of construction. Excavations at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro are also proof of the influence of Vaasthu during the Indus Valley Civilisation |

| A person’s name and birth date are important aspects of a person’s personality. A person's birth number, which is the sum total of the year, month and date, and the sum total of a person’s name number, which are made up of the letters of the alphabet, defines one’s personality trait. The person carries the vibrations of the sum total of the number that make up the person’s name and birth date. Each number and letter has an aura and these vibrations begin to radiate in a person. If one individual's number is in harmony with another individual's, then it is believed that the concerned individuals will establish good rapport with each other |
| |
| Since a person is governed by the number one bears, the person is automatically influenced in one’s understanding of things, ideas, desires, occupations, attitudes, ambitions, likes and dislikes and above all the personality of the individual. |
| |
| It is believed that opportunities and successes of people are the result of the number that the person bears and its vibration on the individual |
