Nadi Praveshika (A Handbook for Teachers & Students)

Nadi is considered the most enigmatic branch of Jyotisha. Nadi Jyotisha is full of cryptic principles and its clues are wrapped in layers of esoteric contemplation of the highest order.
Fortunately, Dr. B. V. Raman had the vision to draw the attention of scholars towards Nadi works and he wrote many articles in the magazine he edited. Inspired by him, Shri A. B. Shukla conceptualised a handbook on Nadi Jyotisha which explains the principles in line with tradition. He led from the front by constituting a team of researchers, whose every member has put his best foot forward, to communicate his knowledge and experience through words to bring out this book.
Nadi Praveshika offers an opportunity to the students of astrology to enter this vast ocean of ancient wisdom. It provides, for the first time, a glimpse into:
1. The meaning and history of Nadi
2. The rationale for significations of planets
3. The logic underlying the results of different yogas
4. The unique progression system of planets
5. Rarely used dashas like Bhrigu Pada Dasha system
6. Use of Navamsha and Ashtakavarga
7. How to read a chart based on Nadi parameters
8. Reading of Nadi through Nakshatras
Foreword
Nadi Jyotisha is one of the oldest methods of predictions prevalent in India. While one approach is based on the ancient palm leaf manuscripts claimed to have been written by the great maharshis, the other approach is based on the techniques written by ancient scholars. In Indian Council of Astrological Sciences (ICAS), the emphasis has been primarily to discover those techniques from the available literature and manuscripts.
