The criticism of palmistry and ‘Nadi Jyotish’ or astrology often rests
with the lack of empirical evidence supporting its efficacy. Scientific
literature typically regards palmistry as a pseudo-scientific or superstitious
belief. Skeptics often include palmists
on lists of illegal psyches by using high probability guessing and inferring
details based on signals or clues from their customers.
I staunchly believe that the sun and
the other stars, the planets and the moon, the earth’s satellite, have direct
influence on the earth and the beings therein. The veteran ‘Jtotish’ and the palmists and the ‘Nadi Granthas’ are capable of giving
vital clues about our life. More research is required to unfurl the mysteries
of Mother Nature. I hope the younger
generation would be able to give cogent reasons for each characteristic noted
by them especially what is their purpose?
Why they were born? What ‘Karma’,
actions or daily services or purposes, they bring into their life?
There are imposters too among the
varied fortune tellers. I used to marvel the various methods they adopt to
attract the pedestrians and fleece their money. The police, at times, scare
them away since they cause traffic block on the main thoroughfare.
