Guruji Dr. A. Sivasamy is a Nadi astrologer, historian, author, and spiritual counsellor from Vaitheeswaran Koil, Tamil Nadu. He carries forward the Nadi Astrology tradition of the Arul Shiva Arumuganar family, which has preserved and practised it for generations.<\/p>\n
Over more than four decades, he’s built his life’s work around understanding, preserving, and sharing the knowledge held in olai chuvadi \u2014 palm leaf manuscripts. Through Sivayogi Astrological Center, he continues the family’s work in Nadi Astrology, Vedic Astrology, Vaastu Shastra, and related traditional systems.<\/p>\n

Guruji belongs to the Arul Shiva Arumuganar family of Vaitheeswaran Koil, long associated with the preservation and practice of Nadi Astrology. That lineage \u2014 the manuscripts, the training, the methods handed down from earlier practitioners \u2014 is the foundation everything at Sivayogi Astrological Center is built on.<\/p>\n
Reading Nadi manuscripts isn’t something picked up casually. It takes traditional training, years of experience, real familiarity with Tamil palm leaf manuscripts, and knowledge of how earlier generations of practitioners actually worked. Guruji represents the fourth generation of that lineage, with a fifth generation now continuing the work.<\/p>\n
Guruji began his spiritual training young. Over the years, his interests grew beyond Nadi Astrology into historical research, Tamil literature, and spiritual counselling \u2014 two threads that have run through his life ever since: continuing the family’s Nadi tradition, and preserving Tamil literature and cultural heritage for a modern audience.<\/p>\n
In more than 40 years of consultations with people from India and abroad, he’s come to know the questions people actually bring to a Nadi reading \u2014 career, marriage, family, education, business, health, spiritual direction. For Guruji, that work is less about prediction and more about helping people understand their circumstances clearly enough to make decisions with confidence.<\/p>\n
Alongside the inherited tradition, Guruji holds a Master’s degree and a Ph.D. His doctoral research, completed at Annamalai University, focused on the Srirangam Ranganathaswamy Temple during the Vijayanagara period \u2014 reflecting a long-standing interest in history, Tamil culture, and temple heritage that runs alongside his astrological work.<\/p>\n
Palm leaf manuscripts, traditional Tamil phrasing, the identification process, reading the different Kandams \u2014 none of that comes from a manual. It’s built through years of training and practice, and Guruji’s work sits within the broader tradition of Vaitheeswaran Koil, one of the places most associated with Nadi Astrology. His experience has also fed into training newer Nadi readers and keeping traditional consultation methods intact.<\/p>\n
Today, Sivayogi Astrological Center offers Nadi Astrology (in person and online), Nadi Jothidam, Nadi Jyothisham, Vedic Astrology, Vaastu Shastra, traditional remedies and Pariharam guidance, Homam arrangements, and general spiritual guidance.<\/p>\n
A significant part of Guruji’s work is preserving and understanding olai chuvadi \u2014 the palm leaf manuscripts used across generations to record everything from literature and medicine to Siddha tradition, Varma, astronomy, and astrology. Nadi leaves belong to this wider tradition.<\/p>\n
That preservation work matters because this kind of knowledge disappears quickly once it stops passing from one generation to the next. Much of what Guruji does \u2014 consultations, explanations, using modern communication to reach people abroad \u2014 is aimed at keeping the tradition legible to people who’d otherwise find it unfamiliar.<\/p>\n
A reading starts with identifying the right palm leaf bundle \u2014 often through a thumb impression or similar identifying method \u2014 and confirming that the leaf actually corresponds to the person seeking the consultation. Once that’s settled, the different chapters, or Kandams, speak to different areas of life: general life direction and family background, career and profession, marriage and relationships, children and family responsibilities, education, property and finance, spiritual life, and remedies or Pariharam suited to what comes up in the reading. Guruji’s decades with the tradition inform how he guides people through each of these.<\/p>\n
Guruji has also spent years making Tamil literary and cultural knowledge accessible to younger generations \u2014 including work with Avvaiyar’s teachings, Aathichudi and Kondrai Vendhan, and considerable attention to the Thirukkural, whose teachings on ethics, relationships, and governance he’s worked to present in ways that speak to people today. He sees literature and Nadi tradition as two different forms of knowledge that both demand careful study and responsible interpretation \u2014 and his literary work is as much a part of who he is as his astrology practice.<\/p>\n
People often come to astrology during uncertain periods \u2014 career decisions, relationships, family pressure, business troubles. Guruji’s counselling work, built from decades of meeting people across regions and cultures, aims less at forecasting and more at helping people think clearly about their circumstances and approach decisions with more confidence.<\/p>\n
Based in Vaitheeswaran Koil, Sivayogi Astrological Center continues the Nadi heritage of the Arul Shiva Arumuganar family. Its services span traditional palm leaf Nadi Astrology (in person or online, for those who can’t travel to Vaitheeswaran Koil), Vedic Astrology, Vaastu Shastra, traditional remedies, and Homam and Pooja arrangements \u2014 bringing the tradition together with modern accessibility.<\/p>\n
Palm leaf manuscripts alone don’t preserve much without the knowledge of how to identify, read, and interpret them \u2014 and the Arul Shiva Arumuganar family has carried that responsibility across generations, with the next generation now involved in continuing it. That continuity is what keeps the connection between the original tradition and future practitioners intact, and it’s the focus at Sivayogi Astrological Center as it works to stay accessible to people across India and abroad.<\/p>\n
Whatever term people search \u2014 Nadi Astrology, Nadi Jothidam, Nadi Jyothisham, Nadi Josiyam, Naadi Astrology, Palm Leaf Astrology, or Nadi Astrologer \u2014 they’re generally pointing at the same ancient tradition tied to palm leaf manuscripts. Guruji has worked with visitors across languages and countries, and modern communication now makes it possible for people who can’t travel to Tamil Nadu to learn about the process and request an online consultation.<\/p>\n
A few things tend to matter to people choosing a Nadi consultation: the family lineage behind it, more than four decades of hands-on experience, formal academic credentials in Tamil history and heritage, work that extends well beyond astrology into literature and cultural preservation, a direct connection to Vaitheeswaran Koil, a family tradition that continues across generations, and the ability to serve visitors from India and abroad alike.<\/p>\n
Guruji Dr. A. Sivasamy, M.A., Ph.D. continues his work in Nadi Astrology, Tamil cultural heritage, historical research, and spiritual guidance \u2014 a fourth-generation Nadi astrologer carrying forward inherited knowledge, a historian and researcher of Tamil heritage, a contributor to classical Tamil literature, and a counsellor to people navigating decisions at different points in life. That work continues through Sivayogi Astrological Center, for visitors in India and around the world.<\/p>\n
