India is the mother of spirituality. The land of the incredible, the country of thousands colors and beliefs.
India is one of a kind. No, I’ve never been there but I am so attracted by her and having a mother that goes to India every year, I heard so much about it. And I want have to go, as soon as possible.
The other day, I was having dinner with my mother and she got a text message: “turn on the tv on channel 2” – so we did. There was a documentary about India, and the Palm Leaves Prophecy. Another incredible thing that happens only in India!
According to the legend, 4000 years ago God himself dictated his message to a group of messengers, who wrote them on palm leaves. These leaves are still in India, especially in the Tamil Nadu region, and people go there from all over the world to know about their own destiny – yes, apparently there is a leaf for each one of us, with our story written on it.
I was amazed already, but my mom said “Oh, I’ve been there! I had my leaf read. Do you want to see?”
What kind of a question is that? Of course I wanted to read what the prophecy told her… And why the hell she didn’t tell me before?
The palm tree readers are called “Nadi readers” and they are the only people who can interpret those ancient writings. When you go to one of these centers, they start taking your fingerprint – right thumb for men, left one for women – and according to the kind of fingerprint, they will search through a specific group of leaves. There are 108 kinds of fingerprints, with different names and features. The name of the fingerprint is on the leaf.
The reader will then sit in front of you, with all the suitable leaves. Then he goes through them, asking you questions… until he finds your leaf.
My mother realized the Nadi reader found her leaf when she heard the translator saying “Your name is Carla, your father’s name is Edoardo, your mother’s name is Pasqua and your husband name is Marco” – Yes, he was definitely talking about my her. And these don’t sound like common names in India.
The booklet with my mom's palm leaf transcription - ok, wrong spelling but the name is right!
Are you curious to know what was written on my mother’s leaf? Well, I have the manuscript here, with the English translation too. I won’t say things too personal, but I can tell you that it’s a pretty detailed description of my mother’s life… year by year.
Here are some random facts that made me believe in the prophecy:
- The reader knew that my mother had a son and a daughter (me and my brother), that we were not married by then (my brother got married afterwards), and that she wasn’t living with her husband anymore (right).
- The reader knew that I was going to have an accident last year – and it was true. I never had an accident before but I broke a vertebra last year.
- The reader knew that my mother works in a financial institution (she works in a bank).
- The reader knew that my brother was going to have problems with his wife (he got married in 2009, and is separated aready).
- The reader knew I graduated, and my brother didn’t.
- The reader knew I have some trouble getting married – LOL true! But it’s a choice.
The manuscript transcription of my mother's palm leaf
But there is something that makes me doubt: he said my brother likes to travel and I don’t! Did he swap us for a second?
Other than this, I can’t tell. They wrote about the future too, and we have to see what happens! There are good things about me so it made me feel good. It says I help other people and that I will succeed in my career without obstacles. That I will have problems with my pregnancy. Well I actually don’t want children so… I don’t worry for now!
It says also personal things about deaths and diseases so I’m not writing about this here. Plus, it’s my mom’s leaf so I can’t make gossip about her! There’s of course much more about her life than mine and my brother’s, on the prophecy.
Oh and I forgot to say that my mother got her leaf read in Kerala.
Is everyone’s destiny written on a palm leaf, somewhere in India? How does this all work? These are questions I still can’t answer, but I admit I didn’t make too much research. I’ve been reading my mother’s booklet only for now.
What do you think about this? Did you ever have your palm leaf read?
Personally, I think 2 things:
- This is super interesting.
- I want to go to India!!!
I am actually applying for jobs in India (and everywhere else in the world too…), so if you can help… I would be more than happy. :)
And for the “mystery series”, that’s all for today!

That is quite a coincidence! I think the palm leave reading would be fun but I’m a skeptic. I think there was some good guessing involved ;)
I am kinda skeptic too, but I want to figure out how they discover all those facts about us! Maybe related to digital print? Hmmm…
You are too materialistic ladies! There are of course something more to it than you actual perceive
I was skeptical too until my brother gifted me with an Indian palm leaf reading through Caribbean Psychics. They have a direct connection to the Tamil town that contains the palm leaf library. The turnaround time was fast and the reading was frighteningly accurate. I am still recovering from this reading. It is life changing in a good way.
Well, i dn`t want to put myself in controversy as am unsure about it,but i think there is some science involved or some smart guessing!! you will find hundreds of ppl in india who will claim to be astrologer and predict your future by seeing palm,or as u said leaf or through your ancestor history…so no comments…
About “NADI reader” – haven`t heard of them but i have heard of “NADI doctor” who will cure your illness by checking your NADI(In hindi NADI is vein containing oxygen in human body) and its movement.
and yeah,as you said you have to come to india….so that i`ll accompany you to get our palm leaf read??? LOl!!
This documentary said “Nadi reader”, and this is also written on my mother’s booklet (see pic), so that’s probably how these guys are called:) And yesss please take me to the palm leaf read! I want to come to India!!!
How absolutely fascinating! India is so strangely interesting. But to be honest, I don’t know if I want to know what my prophecy has in store for me. If its already predestined, I can’t do anything about what will happen anyway. I much rather just live life day to day and enjoy it more. :)
I had my leaf read too. Your written predicted destiny is still subject to your free will and actions you take to clear karma and actions you take to move your life in a new direction. To me, that’s the beauty of this. You can learn (if it resonates) your current trajectory but you can also exert free will and make efforts to alter or correct the trajectory you were born on.
this is so interesting! I’ve never visited Kerala and was planning to do so within the next year or so…part of me wants to know–but part of me thinks the fun of life is not knowing!! such a dilemna!
Wow! That’s pretty amazing. I’m a skeptic, but hearing these types of stories makes me reconsider. If they can actually tell the future from a leave… not sure if I’d really want to know. What if it’s bad? Then how would you handle it? Hmmm…. Interesting though!
Woooow!!!!
I have heard about a lot of astrology going on back home in India, but hadn’t heard of Palm leaf reading.. interesting! It piques my interest on how they predict it. I am not a skeptic, I am a complete non-believer! :D
That’s really fascinating! I wonder how they known all those stuff too. Hmm…
Oh wow…that’s pretty amazing! I’d love to have this done, this stuff fascinates me.
I’ll be interested to hear how your Indian job search goes! I’d love to live there for a while. Good luck with it :)
Waooo what a cool information i like there all information it is a very amazing and i’ll be interesting to here information. Good work i like this..
That is so cool. I’d love to do something like that, Giulia. I’m definitely going to go and get my palm leaf read when I visit India (one day, I hope!) :D
And you’re applying for jobs in India? Even better! One of my closest friends has been going back and forth there ever since was 19. She lived over there for 2 years, came back to the UK for three to study Politics in university. And now spends 6 months here, saves up money, then spends 6 months there, and so on and so forth. I know you’ll loveit. :D
Hey Giulia, pretty useful info for me as I aim to visit one of the Palm Leaves Libraries. I am heading to Patanjaly Yoga Research Centre in Kerela and my Indian friends mentioned that they know about it. It is one of my main aims to see if it is true or not this palm leaves acta on everyone who will ever go there….pretty thrilling I have to admit, I can let you know if it was correct also in my case. Wishes, Patrik
Wow, sure, I would be super interested in knowing about your experience with the Palm Leaves. Write me at masr [at] bk [dot] ru :)
Patrick & Giulia, I am headed to Kerala this week and I am hoping to do a Nadi reading. Do you have any recommendations of people who do this there or ways to find a reader?
Thank you!
I had my leaves read serveral years back, and I must admit that what ever the Palmleaf reader told actually truned out to be true. It is very amazing. I did not really believe everything that he said, and many things that he mentioned were not in my control. Yet their outcome was as he had mentioned. Kind regards, Deepa
Deepa, could you share the info on the Nadi reader you’d approached. Would love to give a try…and get mine read.
Hi,
Yes, i had mine read. So far, most of the predictions did come true. There are a lot of skeptics and non-believers, including my husband and in-laws who are from Tamil Nadu, but all i can suggest is to go and experience this for yourself and you’ll believe/not believe in it when things come true or dont come true. I agree, there are a few things that are not clearly told, which i think means, its a matter of free-will and choice.
I tell my husband that one does not have t believe in these predictions, but if it is mentioned that you’ll succeed in something for eg. a particular field in your career, give it a shot and pursue it.. maybe there is a greater chance of you really succeeding in that field instead of “trying t figure it all out”!
There are many nadi astrologers/ nadi readers.. but not all are good. Be cautious about which one you go to. Some fake readers can do more harm than good in predicting your destiny. I had mine read in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh in India.
Warm Regards,
Priya
Hi Priya, thank you so much for the info!
I agree with you, it’s better to choose the reader carefully. When I am in India, I will make sure I choose a good one :)
I have heard about people that are gifted this way. Over 40 years ago in Trinidad (West Indies) where there is a sizeable Hindu population; there lived an old man who was famous for reading palms. Before you begin to doubt him; he never charged a dime to read one’s palm. He was able to accurately prophecise several incredible events that eventually unfolded after his death.
hi Guilia, I am very much interested in visiting this place. I am having a very bad phase in life right now. Could you tell me the address of this place so I too can find out about my prophecy.
Kinda Regards!
Aeron
It’s in the picture! Good luck:)

I think these URL will help you.
I live in Chennai, India. I have ahd my leaves read. they are amazingly true as to the
PAST, but are vague as regards the future.
2. Also, what you know about the past, is nothing spectacular. The only AMAZING THING IS, probability wise, it is impossible to be so accurate. Your exact date of birth , with the planetary positions will be told to you.
3. I must warn that there are several quacks in this field too.
4. since I am in Chennai, and into tourism, if people want to have their leaves read, I can arrange to help on that. My offer is free. No charges. My email Id is [email protected]
Maran.
Thanks for the info! :)

Nadi astrology or Nadi Jyothisham(in local language) is a form of astrology practised in Tamil Nadu, India. It is based on comparing thumbprints with ancient religious texts. It has its roots mainly in Tamil Nadu, but of course by time it is spreaded to other parts of the country. But if you want to have a look in to, better you visit Tamil Nadu especially Vaitheeswaran Temple which is almost 235 KM from Chennai. And as you said It is said that these predictions were made for all human beings who have lived or will ever live, but then a lot of the manuscripts have been destroyed or lost. Very few remain in existence now. So be careful in choosing the right Jyothishi(astrologer) for interpretation of your leaf, he may or may not be a fraud. And wish you good luck.
Thank you! :)
If you dn’t want to have children, then that is a problem with pregnancy, it means that pregnancy will not accur to you.
I think you’re right! But never say never… :)
Nadi astrology is true. It is believed to be written by a sage called “Agasthiar”, more than a couple of thousand years ago. He also wrote the grammar for Tamil Language, and hence, these leaves are found in Tamil only. However, there are few genuine Nadi readers and fake readers are more. These fake readers also do not have genuine leaves itself. The predictions from these fake readers will be more generic. But few are truly good readers and they even tell the name of the person, whose nadi is being read out, names of their close relatives, their education, profession etc.. Even people born and living in any part of the world has a leaf written for them. For the person, who is hearing this for the first time is unbelievable, but it’s real and true. I have my own personal experience.
Hi Rajesh,
My friend is currently in Chennai. I would love her to get a reading for herself as she feels very tormented and the reading may give her better direction.
How can she contact you by phone as she does not use email?

I recently visited a Nadi reader in Jaipur, Rajasthan. He has made some predictions about me. He took my thumb imprint then wrote down my last name after asking me. Then got a bundle of Palm leaves and asking questions to which I replied in yes or no. And then ! Lo and behold he gets a leaf where he says my fares full name, which is unusual, Mummas full name and my full name. We have all very unusual names. He even gave my DOB time etc.
He called me on another day and made some predictions that he has taped. Let us see how things unfold now. Has asked me to follow some rituals.quite easy and doable.
I wish that I am not dubbed.but was super impressed when he came out with all my personal details
Hi, Im going to Jaipur in a few months, I m interested in visit the Nadi reader that made predictions about you, could you tell me please, how to find him?
Thanks.
The address is on the pics. I wouldn’t know how to find him other than that :)
Hi everyone,
I would like to visit a Nardi reader, but don’t know who can help me? Could you give me some suggestion?
Thanks

Lucky me, staying home, in Mongolia, I had a chance to get my palm leaf reading today. We have a center which makes it possible to do it not visiting India. I sent my thumb print by fax earlier, yesterday I went to this center and had a chat with the astrologer through Skype, asking few questions, he found my leaf. Today I have got all the readings and was quite surprised. There are nice things to hear and bad news too. What interesting is I can change the destiny, to fix the problems avaiting ahead me.
But don’t you think that by the time you send the request then go to the appointment they can easily find lots of information about you, even just by googling your name? I wouldn’t want to take an appointment but just show up to see if it is really “real”!
Hey can u tell me where in kerala your mum got the nadi reading done? I am from kerala myself and wud want to explore it next time.. And yeah, ur welcome to any help when u make it down! :)
Hey Ruksana,
the name of the nadi reader is on the image shared in the post (very hard to type hehe).
I am sure there are hundreds anyway! Unfortunately I still didn’t make it to India… but it’s still high on the list! :-)
actually Readers these is true that Palm reading is in Indian astrology and it is just only palm reading not palm Leaf astro if u visit In Varanasi Haridwar To this holy place then they will tell you the truth there is no kind of leaf reading But Palm reading is still present and where i live currently in Central india there all All old people who tell about your present by seeing your palm Lines but about leaf its work of guessing bcz i belong to Brahmin hindu family and there is no any kind of notes written in any holy book about leaf bcz they all work in cycic way and guessing but according to Hindu Vedic Astrology you can know about your present life and obstacles that will occur going to know about future means you are going against time. as i am also working on Hindu Vedic astro and seeing The things of other people by their Date of birth- Birth Time and birth Place. Nadi is just to tell about your internal body.
Thank You
Hi Giulia, I’m looking for this story several years ago. I saw a documentary but I forgot if it’s in history, discovery or NatGeo channel. The documentary is all about the leaf or scroll who can tell a person’s destiny and I was amazed by its accuracy. I’ve tried to research about that story but I couldn’t find any related information in Google even on youtube until I saw your blog. I’m really thankful for this. I saw the documentary when I was in high school then I promised my self that I will visit this place a soon as I have a budget :D.
Happy to help :) Let me know how it went!

Hi Can you provide complete pic of the booklet cover so that we can get the required info. Thanks.
Nice Blog Thanks For sharing..
This is soo amazing and useful information. very good blog.please keep it up.
Hi i recently had my palm leaves read, it is said people are destined will anyways reach the place her leaves is kept also one should be destined also it is written at what age they will go to plan leave reader and many more
This mainly written by sages who was so much spiritually enhances that they could see future and past also these leaves were burned by moguls and some were auctioned or sold by British however they retained leaves related to medicine, herbs, and science.
These leaves have solution for every diseases that exist in kaliyuga, including cancer, AIDS etc
I first heard about this via television somewhere around 1998-2001.
The Indian Palm Leaf institute was recommended by an astrologer I know.
They are currently looking for my leaf. I was very intrigued when I heard about this. I am generally a true believer in astrology and spirituality but I don’t deny that I have some skepticism. However, since I am going through a very bizarre moment in my life I am willing to pay the costs which I think are a bit high. But the information I have read online has been more positive than negative so I am going ahead with it.
Thanks for writing such a beautiful article for the online community.
