The Science of Thumb Prints
Your thumb impression is important because it is unique. Nadi Astrology uses your thumb impression to predict your destiny. That is one difference in Nadi Astrology that sets it apart from traditional astrology that requires you to give your birth details. There are said to be 108 classifications of human thumb prints and from there your unique prints are detailed down to find your soul grouping or bundle that contains anywhere from 20 to 25 individuals leaves. Then the Nadi Reader uses the sounds inscribed on the leaves to hone in on your exact leaf
The palm leaves have been claimed to be well over 2000 years old, but scientifically speaking, no leaf can last for more than a maximum of 300 years. Being of an organic substance, the Nadi Leaves decay and disintegrate especially in a humid climate like India, even with the preserving oil rubbed into them every couple of years.
