Nadi Astrology is an ancient art of prediction, which uses the method of predicting a person's life with the help of his/her thumb impression. In ancient times sages foresaw future of all humans and inscribed them on palm leaves. Many believe that these palm leaves found in Vaitheeswaran temple in Tamil Nadu. These predictions were written by saint called Agathiyar. This system of astrology was mainly and widely followed in Tamil Nadu, though now is being practiced all over India.
The history of Nadi astrology was developed thousands of years ago by sages when recording the destiny of individual souls for all time. They did this by cognizing subtle mechanics of creation on finest levels of their own awareness. These cognitions were recorded in form of dialogue between Lord Shiva and consort Parvati. Through refinement of awareness these enlightened sages would directly experience the important interacting dynamics of pure consciousness, which is the absolute field of an existing life form. In this eternal conversation God whispers to himself about a native man, the details of life and the future.

There are three different Nadis which represent the Prakriti of native according to their body constitution. These are Adi (start), Madhya (middle) and Antya (end). As per Ayurveda there are three different Prakritis which are Kaph, Vaat and Pita. The Nadis Adi, Madhya and Antya Nadi are equivalent to these Prakritis only. Nadi Dosha becomes true if the proposed husband and wife are having the same Nadi type.
