Om Svatih 🙏 On this day of Maa Sharada Sarasvati, Saptami of Sharad Navrati, Krodhi Samvatsar (October 9, 2024), I begin to write with the blessings of Maa Parvati devi, Maha Shiva, the Sapta Rishis, and the eighteen Siddhas. I also seek the blessings of all the Devas, Sages, the nine planets, and my ancestors.
I think Shiva and the Rishis are having fun with me. As I have a scientific bent of mind and like to verify esoteric things using the scientific method, perhaps they thought, 'ok let's do this Leela with her', then smiled lovingly and said, 'Tatha Astu!'. That's just what I feel, a Leela (a divine play) staged for me. After a series of events, I connected the dots, and in that Aha! moment I unraveled the mysteries that unfolded. It wasn't just my experiences, I came across more and more people with astonishing Naadi experiences which I had to share with the world. I am a happy child unwrapping the gifts these divine beings bring to me for my soul's evolution.
Even the Rishis are spiritual scientists. I am not cynical or skeptical, but I want to use discernment and verification to find the truth. You can't blame me, there are so many fake Naadi readers, I have to test their authenticity.
After my Shiv Sookshm Naadi leaf was read on May 21, 2024, I wanted to also experience a few other Naadis. Being especially intrigued by the mystery of the Jeeva Nadi, where, after you ask the question, the answer appears live on a blank palm leaf, I started a search to experience it. Jeeva Nadi readers usually inherit three bundles of blank leaves from their father or Guru, with nothing written on them. In one type of Jeeva Naadi the letters may appear in golden light (like fire) form, not physical ink, which only the Naadi reader and the questioner can see. I did talk to someone who experienced this in person, where he and the Naadi reader could see the letters appear in light form, yet the rest of his family members could not see anything. The other type of Jeeva Naadi is where letters physically appear on the leaf or paper, so with each reading, the previous words are replaced with new ones giving the answer for the question asked. There are many forms of Jeeva Naadi, and each one is unique, these are just two examples. Mind boggling isn't it?
My Naadi buddy Narendra, told me that the famous Jeeva Nadi reader, Ramani Guruji from Chennai, India, is visiting the Bay Area, where I live. He's a channel medium for Maharishi Kak Bhajundar, one of the Siddhars of Tamil Nadu. I quickly messaged the organizer to go meet him.One of the things he told me was something to the effect that, my Guru had asked me to go visit Shiva at Mt. Kailash in a previous life. I was so eager to meet the Lord that I rushed to Shiva, going past Nandi Dev and ignoring him unintentionally. Nandi ji didn't like that and cursed me, so therefore it is affecting me even now. Ramani ji called out to the lady of the house and gave her some instruction in Tamil. She brought him a small Nandi idol. He got her permission to give it to me, and said I should worship Nandi Dev daily before praying to Shiva, and I have been like a good girl. In fact, I find Nandi ji so cute. I will tell you the results of this later, and why worship isn't just dogma, when done with faith and good intentions, it brings the results that are beneficial for you.*
Many people arrived, and we all sat around him, mostly on the carpet cross legged, looking eagerly at him like obedient students. He would initiate a conversation in Tamil with a person, asking or stating something, and the person would immediately come to attention with folded hands and respond. I wondered why there was an element of fear in them about Ramani ji. The organizer was sitting next to me, and would sometimes translate what Ramani Guruji said. Later, he got up and went to sit on another Aasan. He was now going to do a general Jeeva Naadi reading for everyone. He closed his eyes tightly for a minute or so, as though connecting with some divine being/s, jerked a couple of times, then opened his eyes. I wondered if some entity had entered him, and he was going to channel him/them. He called out a woman's name. She went over to him and he handed her a set of small sea shells (Cowries). She closed her hands and shook the shells and then threw them on a side table. "Nine," he said, which was the number of shells facing up. Ramani Guruji turned to the ninth leaf in the bundle. Then he began reading and singing Tamil verses supposedly written on the leaf. I, of course, couldn't understand anything, just keenly observed everything, and wondered if the words just appeared or were they pre-written, but I couldn't see clearly from where I was. After about five minutes of singing, the organizer, Suresh, gave a brief translation in English. This continued for about half and hour after which the Satsang was over. We all took turns to bow in front of him, he gave us a fruit in our hands as Prasaad, and we left.
The next day I went to visit Ramani Guruji again. From the moment I entered, bowed, and sat down, his eyes followed me. Today his attitude towards me was terse and his words were sharp. I felt uncomfortable. He said a few things to me sarcastically and then talked about me in insinuating terms with a couple of people, who looked confused as well. It made my heart race and I'm sure I was blushing. Why would he talk to me like this? He is supposed to be channeling a Rishi. I remembered the words of a few friends who had warned me that they had bad experiences with Ramani and he had said offensive things to them. I had come with complete faith, surrender and reverence for the Rishis, so I was clear in my conscience, and confused about what and why he was speaking in a negative tone.
As he got up and walked to the Aasan to read the Jeeva Nadi, he passed by me. He seemed angry, frowning, and told me a few things, as though I was going to do something immoral in the future, but which he himself is doing. Isn't that funny? It wasn't things that were awful, though quite unbelievable, it was about some spiritual work that I would do in the future, presumably, according to Ramani ji.
I was looking for another Jeeva Nadi reader who would be willing to do the Naadi reading over WhatsApp. I also needed a referral to a verified Jeeva Nadi reader as I can't see the manifestation on the leaves in person. So, after a few doubtful experiences with Jeeva Nadi readers, I approached Eashwaran ji, who the author and Naadi researcher, Shashikant Oak, has used for decades.
I had already written down the questions prior to the session. My plan was to first ask him a question for which I already knew the answer, so that I can verify his authenticity. I would know intuitively as well after that.
So we started the Jeeva Nadi process, it was August 2, 2024. Eashwaran ji was doing to read Rishi Atri and Maa Anusuya's Jeeva Nadi. He threw twelve Cowries (small sea shells) on the table, counted how many were facing up. Say it was four. He then turned to the fourth leaf of the bundle where the answer appeared, live. The answer to my first question was surprisingly correct!
My second question was, "What is my relationship with the Rishis from the past and in the future?"
Eashwaran ji read that, long ago I had served the Rishis in a previous life. In the future, I should go to Arunachalam, on a full moon night, for three days. There the Rishis will come to give me Darshan (a divine visitation) and bestow their blessings on me. Interesting. I had heard of a couple of other people were also told to go to Arunachalam. Later I asked when I should go, and he said any full moon.
Arunachala is a powerful site for Lord Shiva. There is a Pancha Bhuta (the five elements in their causal state) Shiva temple, Arunachalesvara here which signifies the element of fire. However; the entire hill is considered the embodiment of Shiva himself. All these ancient temples in Bharat were erected where the sages experienced the presence of a certain energy. The planet has many places which are energy points, or vortexes, as the earth is a being with its own energy grid. Therefore, you find ancient wisdom traditions have built temples, pyramids, and stone circles at these energy centers, as certain stones and crystals absorb and transmit energy. Arunachalam is where sages in India felt the fire element of ParamShiva. It is also the place where Ramana Maharshi, the famous saint, came and lived. Many people come to his ashram even today.
We finished the rest of my questions and I felt very satisfied with my Jeeva Nadi reading. He showed me the leaf on which the last answer had appeared, and I took a screenshot on my mobile. There are many types of Jeeva Naadis as mentioned above, the one that Eashwaran ji has is where the letters physically appear in ink on the leaf, replacing the previous text. I feel someone should do a proper scientific case study in a controlled environment on Jeeva Naadi, so it is more convincing that such paranormal phenomenon do occur.
I had heard about the Gyan Kandam (Gyan - spiritual knowledge, Kandam - chapter) of the Naadi Shastra from Narendra. It contains spiritual guidance and our spiritual journey ahead as per Shiva or the Rishi who's Naadi it is. I was very eager to have my Gyan Kandam read, but I had waited for a few months till after my sons' and friends' Naadis were read. I also wanted to give a gap after my initial Naadi reading, before having my Gyan Kandam read.
I kept pestering Suresh, the Naadi reader, to open my Gyan Kandam, and as usual he kept saying, "Wait, wait madam". As is typical of Naadi readers, they will test your patience. Finally he got my Gyan Kandam bundle from his family's library in Vaitheeswaran Koil, and was ready to give me the reading. I was so excited!
It was August 8, 2024 when my Gyan Kandam was read, two-and-a-half months after my initial Naadi reading. This was the most magical and jaw dropping reading I had till then. Unbelievable for me and somethings I couldn't image or relate to from my present situation. Nonetheless it was mystical, almost sci-fi like.
I felt the presence of Shiva as the reading started. This was the Shiva Sookshm Naadi Gyan Kandam. Shivji asked me to sit on the floor in Yog Aasan to hear the reading. First I was told to go to Arunachalam, on a full moon night, and gave me minute details, on where to go and sit on the Arunachalam hill, how to do the Pranayam, step by step guidance on the meditation to practice there, and then what was to follow was described, including seeing the Rishis. I was focusing on the reading, but at the back of my mind I remembered that Eashwaran ji had also conveyed the message to go to Arunachalam, where the Rishis would again come and give me visitation. Now Shivji was also telling me the same thing!
The reading proceeded with various things that would follow after my visit to Arunachala. One of the many things it mentioned is that I would realize that Shiva is Guru. I feel Sri Krishn would always remain my Ishta Dev, and so there would be no conflict. All divine cosmic beings are like our extended soul family. Though the events described followed a sequence, the ages at which these things would happen were not given, unlike my initial Naadi reading. My first Naadi reading did have similar milestones and events summarized that were now expanded upon in the Gyan Kandam. So I could correlate the two Naadi Kandam readings later.
As the reading proceeded, it mentioned some things I would do, which took me aback as they were the same as what Ramani Guruji mentioned. However, here Shiva had mentioned it benevolently, as a culmination of my life purpose. Though I couldn't relate to this information from my present state, so I just heard it matter of factly. Nonetheless, I was shocked that Ramani Guruji did in fact channel the same information as my Gyan Kandam.
Later, as I mulled over the sequence of events. I realized that Shiva and the Rishis satisfied my want for a scientific method, giving me three independent sources to verify the authenticity of the Naadi. Not only that, these three events came together at the end, as though they had been laid out from before. Shiva knew that Vinita will be able to connect the dots and realize that Shiva and enlightened Rishis transcend time and can access information from any point in our linear experience of time. I felt like a small little child, miniscule in the lap of the Great Lord Shiva, who was smiling at me when I looked up at Him saying, "Oh! Wow! Now I understand the play you scripted for me. Dear Lord!"
*Footnote:
I had mentioned that Ramani Guruji said something strange that I was cursed by Nandi because I ignored him, and went running straight to Shiva. So Ramani ji had given me a small Nandi whom I kept in my altar facing Shiva and prayed daily. Low and behold! after two months of this reverence to Nandi, I feel Nandi dev revealed the deeper secret of who Nandi is. A video just came up as a suggestion on YouTube by chance. It explained that the tip of the nose and nostrils represent Nandi. We, the human body, the microcosm, is an exact replica of the macrocosm (like a fractal). We must start by concentrating on the tip of the nostril (Nandi) and then follow the breath from there to the top of the nose, which is the third eye (Shiva). This is the secret of Nandi. This technique is taught by Gurus in advance meditations. I had learnt it long ago and forgotten. Just after this I was watching a video of Bonni McCliss (the psychic I've spoken to several times) explaining the same technique.
Later after about six months, you will read later in this book that I received a Nandi Jeeva Naadi reading as well.
Dear Vinita,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog post on the experiences of various Naadi readings truly captivating. Your journey in seeking divine guidance is inspiring and will undoubtedly encourage readers to explore their own Naadi palm leaf manuscripts.
Embarking on the pilgrimage to Baba Amarnath is a profound test of both physical and mental endurance. The challenges faced along the way are trials that strengthen one's resolve. Standing before the natural icy lingam, bowing in reverence, one experiences an overwhelming sense of elation and joy—a divine gift in return for the hardships endured.
Similarly, the words of the Naadi Maharshis have a profound impact on both the body and soul. Their wisdom offers guidance and solace, much like the spiritual journey to Amarnath.
I extend my best wishes for your future readings. Please continue to share your experiences with the public. You possess many remarkable qualities, and your contributions to society are invaluable. Keep inspiring and giving to the community what they truly deserve.
Warm regards,
Shashikant Oak
