Nadi Josiyam and Pitra Dosh_ Understanding Their Significance in Astrology (1)

1. Nadi Josiyam and Pitra Dosh: Understanding Their Significance in Astrology Introduction Astrology has been the guiding factor for many cultures of the world for centuries. It has guided humanity to understand how to live out their lives with a purpose while also facing hardships in life. Some of the critical concepts that seem to hold extreme importance within such a vast entity as astrology happen to be Nadi Josiyam and Pitra Dosh mainly in Vedic astrology. Let's explore these entities, understand them, and comprehend how they bring a difference into a person's life. What is Nadi Josiyam? Nadi Josiyam or Nadi astrology is said to originate from ancient palm leaves in the Tamil Nadu state of India and claimed to have been written by the ancient sages Sage Agastya and others. Nadi astrology, unlike the conventional one, doesn't depend much on a person's birth chart of time, date, or place of birth but more on the ancient palm leaves which contain detailed records of one's life. The leaves were thousands of years ago, filled with all life events about each person from past, present, and even the future. This key, known as a thumb impression, can open life records. Everyone in the human world has their thumb print and thus could be attached to a Nadi leaf about the person. A Nadi astrologer has a piece of paper on which he puts his thumb impression for the first. And with this thumb impression, he will find that particular record from the palm leaves related to that particular person. Now, the whole detailed prophecies about each and every life exist in the palm leaves in the following things. ●Personal life: Name, family background, and others. ●Life Karma: knowledge from past life and actions wherein one did for this life. ●Forecasts about future: information on career, health, relationship, marriage, children, etc. Nadi astrology provides information about the life of people separately and more particularly, from the leaves because the mentioned information is extremely specific. Now, the case of thumb prints in Nadi Josiyam:

It is believed that every human being has his particular thumbprint, and the thumb impression unlocks a specific leaf of Nadi. The astrologer searches the enormous records to find out the relevant leaf using the thumbprint. The moment the relevant leaf is found, the astrologer can read the life details pertaining to it. This is an odd matching of thumb impressions with palm leaves that seems to appear only in Nadi astrology and, therefore, is peculiar to it, making it unlike the other forms of astrology practice. This is not just a physical characteristic but also a spiritual signature that brings an individual into his karmic journey. What is Pitra Dosh? This dosh is popularly known in Vedic astrology as a dosh, flaw, or curse that results from unresolved issues with the ancestors. "Pitra" here means ancestors and "Dosh" refers to the negative influence or imbalance resulting from the ancestor's past work, especially because proper rites and rituals were not performed for them. This belief argues that unperformed ancestral deeds or evil acts from previous generations turn into mishaps, hindrances, or difficulties upon the lives of their descendants. Pitra Dosh is considered to be one of the most important doshas in astrology. Moreover, its influence can be seen in many areas of life, such as health problems, for instance, incurable chronic disease or some chronic condition that cannot be described using medical terms. Financial problem: Unaccounted financial loss or unable to achieve success. Relationship problem: Poor relationships or perpetual misunderstandings and cannot find a good partner for them. Job failure: They change jobs quite frequently and lack career growth and stagnation in their job career. In the majority of the cases, those people who possess Pitra Dosh feel something is stopping them from achieving success and happiness. Belief says these are the outstanding karmas or mistakes by their ancestors. How Pitra Dosh Affects One's Life Traditionally it is said to occur if such ancestral rites as "Shraddh" for the deceased or "Tarpan" which involves offering water and praying to the ancestors have not been performed or the

Followers of Hindu traditions consider that because such rites may not have been performed the souls of ancestors have not rested, and that their unsorted out karma works out against the good of descendants. The symptoms of Pitra Dosh might be understood through the following impacts: It may be akin to experiencing successive misadventures or ups and downs without finding any cause for such failures. Sometimes, a sufferer of Pitra Dosh may experience continuous failure in one's personal life as well as professional life without making tangible progress even despite adversity; one may continuously be stuck to one's point. Financial Problems: According to Pitra Dosh, if a family goes through it, then they will be in monetary turbulence, and wining is also not possible regarding prosperity, and always an endless loss is presented. It's believed that this combination somehow obstructs the ancestor's bad karma or negativity from coming closer to their future. Health Issues: This person suffering from Pitra Dosh will suffer from chronic diseases or repeated health issues that cannot be explained by medicine. These can be due to the ancestral karma and healing is normally done by performing rituals to pacify the ancestors. Family problems: There is a continuous stress or lack of communication, or problematic relationship between the members, especially the direct members. Pitra Dosh can even ruin a marriage or disrupt a love relationship or even prevent meeting a life partner. Pitra Dosh Remedies There are many remedies in Vedic astrology that reduce the evil effect of Pitra Dosh. It is also said that this ritual of Shraddh and Tarpan, which is performed every day for the ancestors, is the antidote to Pitra Dosh. All the negative energies associated with the souls of dead people get satisfied by doing so, thus fulfilling the responsibilities towards ancestors, and all the bad karmas are washed away.

Such pujas are intended to attract blessings from the ancestors while resolving karmic issues in their lineage. Charity and Donation: Another belief is that doing charity especially in the name of ancestors reduces the evil effect of Pitra Dosh. Donation in the form of food, clothes, or money to the needy can be considered acts of goodwill for countering negative karmas. Fasting and Prayers: On some days during Pitru Paksha, an individual can keep fasting or he can pray Lord Vishnu or Lord Shiva that the anger or turbulence of one's ancestors could be appeased. Reciting Some Specific Mantra: Reciting mantras as "Pitra Dosh Nivaran Mantra" or those relevant Vedic hymns helps dissolve any negative effect generated by ancestral karmas.
