Due to the low number of researchers and lack of support, many fraudulent individuals thrive in comfortable conditions, distorting authentic knowledge. Nadi Shastra encompasses texts that delve into the enigmas of chronology and the cosmic order, known as the "Cosmic Order." As previously mentioned, Nadi astrology comprises various divisions like Kalasikam, Agathiyam, and Saptarishi, each based on biometric information like fingerprints of individuals mentioned in the Palm Leaf Nadi texts.

Can Nadi Readings Match Between Individuals?

Before proceeding, let's address a fundamental question: Can the Nadi readings for one person match those of another? This question leads us to examine the fingerprinting system in Nadi astrology.

The Role of Fingerprints in Nadi Astrology

There are various types of fingerprints on the human hand, and these are used to search for the astrological chart of a specific individual. These fingerprints are categorized into different groups such as tower, self, wheel, cone, lotus, etc. These categories determine the order in which the 11 types of line systems are arranged. For instance, they can be sorted into combinations like self-console, cone-lotus-earth-wheel, or tower-cone-lotus-earth-wheel-self.

Mathematics in Nadi Astrology

Now, let's explore how mathematical concepts like "Permutation and Combination" come into play. For example, when we have two numbers, like 1 and 2, they can be combined in four different ways: 1,1; 1,2; 2,1; and 2,2. This results in a total of 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 combinations. Similarly, with three numbers (1, 2, and 3), the combinations increase to 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256. This concept is used in Tamil magic and is known as "Maral." Additionally, other magical systems such as "panchatsara change" and "satatsara change" also utilize these rules.

Permutation and Combination in Other Disciplines

Permutation and combination principles are not confined to mathematics alone. They are integrated into several other disciplines as well. In Tamil grammar, texts like Tolkappiyam apply these principles to expand vowel sequences. In Indian classical music, ragas follow similar mathematical patterns where permutation and combination play a key role. Similarly, when reciting the Vedas, there are eight types of lessons such as Sika, Jadapadam, and Kanapadam, where permutation and combination also play a crucial role in shaping rhythm and structure.

The Role of Mathematics in Ancient Systems

It’s fascinating how these mathematical concepts, like permutation and combination, are intertwined in so many diverse ancient systems, from reading methods to music, grammar, and more. This intersection of science and ancient knowledge highlights the depth and wisdom of these time-honored practices.

Stay tuned as we continue to explore the hidden layers of this mystical science in the next part of our series.
