The mysterious 'Nadi Jyotisha' is a unique system of astrology developed by great sages, centuries and centuries back. Even today, there are many valuable manuscripts collecting dust in Oriental libraries at Baroda, Pune, Madras Mysore, Trivandrum, Varanasi etc. The manuscripts of this system contain certain techniques, usable in predictive astrology which can be rarely found from other sources. Through the efforts of some modern intellectuals having deep interest in astrology, such as Chandulal S. Patel, various Nadi Granthas and rare old books were transcribed into Devanagari and English from their local languages. Their efforts brought to light many principles for the first time not known to many so far. The research thereafter on these principles proved them true in application.
