NADI
OR BHRIGU READINGS: REACTIONS 2
K.N.Rao
There was some discussion about Bhrigu or Nadi readings
on the Jyotish List two years ago and various reactions
of different people who names are not being disclosed
are given here for those who are interested in knowing
various reactions. Some notable points have been highlighted
by me.

Past life/ Nadi or Bhrigu reading
I agree with you hundred percent. It is so with ordinary,
non-Bhrigu astrologers also these
days. And there are people who fall prey to their tricks
because they want quick or instant solutions. The Bhrigu
reader I have referred to has given some remarkable
readings about future which is why I respect him. I
will write about him later.
Yet, I have seen some of his readings go wrong totally
also.

Subject: Bhrigu--the good and bad of it: A honest reader
The Bhrigu reader I am referring to is absolutely honest.
I have never seen him prescribing any costly remedies
and demanding money. He does, when it comes in the reading,
speak of doing some shanti which again is not costly.
He leaves it to you to do or not and wherever you want
to do it.
I have written so often on this list and created enemies
here also because I know some of the popular fraudulent
methods. An addition made recently is that one astrologer
even went to the extent of speaking of Kal Sarpa Yoga
in Jaimini astrology .
This Bhrigu reader has no fixed fees. I have seen people
giving him from fifty to one thousand rupees. He accepts
both with the same grace.
But some of his readings of the future are sensational.
I will give one instance later.But I also know that
he worships nearly for eight to ten hours a day and
does yagnas almost every day. He does Bhrigu prashna
also where he casts a horoscope as we do, but interprets
in his own way.
I have yet to meet an astrologer or a Bhrigu reader
with so much moral excellence as this man. It is because
of this that I like him and encourage others to go to
him.
But the problem is that he does chain reading. Not
covering the entire reading of a life in one sitting.
It is staggered. At the end of the reading, it is stated
that you will or can come after four months or one year
etc.not before.
I have said many times that an astrologer who speaks
of CURSES AND SHANTI is a suspect in my view.
Yours sincerely,
K.N.Rao.

Bhrigu--the good and bad of it
His name is Pandit Nathulal. He lives in Karovi Village
in Bhilwara District of Rajasthan. I do not have his
phone number though he has one. He speaks mostly about
the efficacy of Gayatri Mantra. He and the Chaya Shastri
of Ahmadabad have been the only honest Bhrigu readers
I have met. Others frightened and fleeced people and
their predictions went wrong mostly. I am personally
witness to some very spectacular readings about the
future of some people done by Nathulalji and have also
seen some terrible failures. As in any field, failures
are part of the story of anyone’s life.
What will he do with any software when he does not
have even a computer and when none in his family (his
nephew who is learning astrology and assists him) is
computer literate?
For those who live in big cities, visiting him is to
go back two centuries in history where feudal rivalries
and modern villanies get fused into a chaotic enigma
which is modern life mostly now in India.
Now that Dhirubai Ambani is dead, let me reveal that
often many people from that famous commercial house
of India went to him for readings, like many Gujarati
billionaires.
He is always hard pressed for time. He has been kind
to me.When I send a word to him through friends, he
reserves half a day for me and my friends exclusively.
Between me and him is a mutual bond of respect, some
unconscious sharing of an indefinable ideal.

Subject: An instance/ Nathulalji
Here is one instance of a reading of Nathulalji.
A woman student of ours, very gifted as far as predictive
astrological ability is concerned,
goes to him often, almost five times a year. She is
from Rajasthan and her grandfather was very friendly
with Nathulalji. So there is a family bond in this case.
Step by step the reading , done in a staggered way
was:
1) Sometime in late 2002 perhaps when she had gone
there, in her reading came a warning. ‘SAVE YOUR
BROTHER FROM GETTING TRAPPED IN A BAD MARRIAGE”.
2) She did not know that by then her lawyer brother
had already promised another lawyer friend of his that
he would marry his sister.
3) Back to Delhi, when this woman came to know of the
decision of her brother she was shocked and tried to
dissuade her brother not to marry that girl.
4) But her brother refused to listen to her and married
that girl.
5) It took no time for the family to discover that
the girl was half mad.
6) They went to Nathulalji this time with the brother
of this woman astrologer who had disbelieved this reading
and was suffering now.
7) The reading was keep “quiet for one year otherwise
it would be disastrous.”
8) After one year Nathulalji advised them to proceed
legally.
9) After six months of efforts in July 2004, the divorce
was obtained after a payment of some huge sum.
The precise reading done by Nathulalji was that her
brother would get trapped into marrying a mad girl and
face some difficult time for two years.
Yours sincerely,
K.N.Rao.

Subject: Caution
I have written about Nathulalji earlier also. Reading
it, someone from USA visiting India, went to him got
some hundrum reading and was thoroughly disappointed.
I must caution you that in a chain reading, it is sometimes
only that something spectacular comes out. When life
is hundrum why are you expecting something spectacular
to happenwhich does not happen in our lives ?
Then there is the limitation of language, the limitation
of modernising some words. For instance, he said as
early as 1995 that I would produce a panchanga (almanac).
It was the Journal of Astrology from 1997. Often in
the reading something comes out which he translates
as running a hotel. But I have seen those people selling
food products.
Yours sincerely,
K.N.Rao.

Subject: Again caution
Often, the timing given by Nathulalji goes wrong, but
the event comes out correct. I cannot explain why it
happens.
Yours sincerely,
K.N.Rao.

Subject: Caution again 2
The wife of a friend of mine along with him went to
Nathulalji once. The reading was “your reading
will be done once and you need not come again ever.”
In such cases, do not even attempt to go there again.
In one case, a friend was told not to go to him for
any reading at all for three years. Everytime he tried
to go there, he met with accidents on his way.
Let me stop here today as some people have dropped
in.
Yours sincerely,
K.N.Rao.
