Bhrigu Naadi Astro

Different classes of Nadis

Mantra Nadis and Tantra Nadis. While the latter class of Granthas (Tantra Nadis) is essentially based on age-old well-known Astrological principles - and hence merits the attention of Astrology lovers, the former class of Granthas (Mantra Nadis) is basically ‘dangerous’. Mantra Nadis are based on acquiring control over some "uchchista" or 'kshudra' (mean or profane) deities by using the Mantras. From these Nadis, the querent obtains very accurate reading of all the major events and happenings of the past, but most of the (or even all the) predictions about the future that are given normally prove to be false when the predicted time of fructification actually arrives.

Available Nadi Granthas

Nadi Granthas

1 : The former kind deals with the actual horoscopes obtained by means of various possible permutations and combinations. “Bhrigu Samhita” is an example of this type; it is available in Hindi also. This kind of Nadi Granthas is of great interest to the serious students of Astrology.

2 : The latter kind uses certain starting points - known by the term Nadi-Amsha (which are actually 150 unequal divisions of any sign) - and go on discussing the possible events and happenings at length by taking the commencing point as effective "Ascendant". “Deva Keralam” (Chandra Kala Nadi) is such a book (available in English* also). There are many other Nadi Granthas of this category; like Dhruva Nadi, Bhrigu Nadi, Guru Nadi, Kuja Nadi, etc; but all these Granthas are not easily available.

Deva Keralam (Chandra Kala Nadi)

Deva Keralam (Chandra Kala Nadi) translated by (Late) Shri R. Santhanam – which is available in the market. In this work, the 150 Nadi-Amshas had been taken as to be of ‘equal’ duration (30* / 150 = 0*12’ each) – whereas actually the Nadi-Amshas are of unequal durations, and learned Astrologers are well aware of this fact. So, while perusing this work, the interested reader should keep this deviation in his/ her mind – as this ambiguity will surely make a whole lot of difference in the readings.

Dhruva Nadi

Dhruva Nadi appears to be very systematic, and it is thoroughly consistent - since it is solely based on the widely known and logically justifiable general principles of Astrology. But time and again even the most learned Astrologers have stressed that the unique system of Nadi Granthas is not at all very easy to grasp - unless one has acquired indepth knowledge of almost all the available methods propounded by the great sages Parasara, Jaimini, Bhrigu, etc.

Sapta Rishi Nadi

Sapta Rishi Nadi do not make any mention of the 150 Nadi-Amshas or their use for the predictive purposes. It takes the longitudes of all the planets and also of the Ascendant. It uses the usual rules of Astrology (of Parasara, etc). This Nadi, however, puts forward the predictions; but it does so without advancing any Astrological reasons in support thereof. As such, although the students can grasp the general principles of Astrology quite well, still at times they become quite at a loss to comprehend the mechanism involved in delineation of results. Another peculiarity of this Nadi Grantha is that most of the horoscopes discussed are of 'male' persons.
