Our ancestors originally lived in Varanasi of Uttar Pradesh. We belong to the Valluvar Caste who used to do Pujas to Lord Shiva wearing lingas on our bodies. Our gothra is said to be of GyanaThambiran. The original palm leaves containing the Nadi Jodhida predictions are all available under the control of our family only. They run into lakhs and are kept preserved, and destroyed after the future to the destined is predicted, under our supervision. Our ancestors might have migrated to Tamilnadu many centuries ago and must have attained proficiency in Tamil. Probably they were employed under the Marathas and might have been employed in the Tamil translation work of the Nadi Jodhida predictions from Sanskrit. The Britishers during their rule transferred to London Library, all Palm leaves relating to Sciences and Art. The manuscripts of Nadi Palm leaves were left behind by them in the SaraswathiMahal Library, because they did not know its merits and importance. Since our ancestors knew the importance of these Palm leaf Nadi predictions, the original Nadi Astrological palm leaves were obtained from the Britishers on lease, during the time of our great grandfather, sometime between 1850 and 1875. It is said, he started giving the Nadi Jodhida predictions at Vaithiswarankoil from the later part of his life, probably around 1875.

It is said that our great grandfather Arul Thiru Ekambaram gave predictions from Kousika Nadi and my grandfather Arul Thiru Swami Sachidhanandam (1900-1960) from AgasthiyaNadi. Since the palm leaves of Kousika and AgasthiyaNadi became scarce, our father Arul Thiru. Arumugam (1929-1989) started the predictions from the Maha Siva Sukshma Nadi, during his lifetime, following the footsteps of the great Arul Siva Arumugunar. I am his son continue the Sukshma Nadi Prediction at Vaitheeswarankoil Our father knew Astrology and wrote some books on Astrology like, ‘How to judge and select bride and bridegroom?’ , but we are however trained intensely from our early age, for nearly ten years to read and interpret the Nadi predictions only from the palm leaves.
