I read in a book that there is a temple not far from Madras where 3,000 years ago a great sage wrote on palm leaves the lives and deaths of all men of all time, past, present and future. When a visitor arrives a monk comes out to greet him and takes out one of the yellow leaves where the history of the visitor is written...Is this true? Has anyone been there? Where is this temple? Any info...

Nadi astrology (naadi jothidam) is a form of astrology practised in Tamil Nadu, India. It is based on the belief that the past, present and the future lives of all humans were foreseen by Hindu sages in ancient times on Palm leaves.

History
According to Hindu mythology, thousands of years ago sages who had the power to look in the past and future of the entire universe recorded the future of people who were living and who are going to live, in the form of Tamil verses, as Palm Leaf Manuscripts. The text is written in Vatteluttu, which is an ancient Tamil script. There are different schools of thought as to the author of these leaves. They were said to be written down by different Hindu sages, who had divine revelations. Some of the sages include Agasthiya, Brighu, Kaushika, Vyasa, Valmiki and Vasishtha. This doctrine of astrology was made famous by astrologers around the Vaitheeswaran Temple in the state of Tamil Nadu and is still practiced around the temple by their descendents.

The source point of Nadi Astrology leaves can be traced back to approximately more than 2000 years. These Nadi leaves were initially stored in the premises of Tanjore Saraswati Mahal Library of Tamilnadu. The British rulers later showed interest in the Nadi leaves concerned with herbs and medicine, future prediction etc; but ironically left most of the Nadi prediction leaves to their loyal people. Some leaves got destroyed and the remaining were auctioned during the British rule. These Nadi leaves were obtained and possessed by the families of astrologers in Vaitheeswaran Temple. This is an art passed down the years from one generation to the other.

I have seen this astrology at Vaidheswaran koil about 250 kms from Chennai and they tell exactly. You can have a try-

I agree all the history. That place is Vaitheeswaran Koil, it is in the route from Sirkazhi to Mayiladuthurai. There are lot of sages such as Agathiar, Vasistar, Siva Vakkiyar etc. wrote these (called Naadi Jothidam). From my point of view I suggest Vasistar Naadi is the best, which is accurate and correct.
