These Siddhas are an esoteric
group of enlightened saints from the distant past. The stories of
many of them are not yet well-known in the West. They founded Nadi
astrology. Lord Shiva, pleased with their devotion, bestowed upon
them some exclusive powers. He gave them the incredible
clairvoyance to know the past (previous birth - 13th chapter),
present and future. The Siddhas have etched their priceless
knowledge on ancient palm leaves called Nadis. If they were
associated with you in your 'Poorva Janma' (previous birth), they
promised to help you in a future life, i.e. now. By the Nadi law,
you will be involuntarily attracted to the leaves by destiny only.
Not everyone has a leaf, so it is an interesting omen that you are
reading this far.
