Auditorium Activity

Dr. Dada Wani, Chief Engineer, Of Army Sub Areas Head Qtrs, Southern Command. He covered general features of Naadi reading and out line of Chapters Etc. Due to paucity of time no demonstration of some sample leaves in public was conducted. In previous times some random leaves were read and names and other details were read out aloud to indicate how the persons from different countries and religions were no exception to Naadi Maharshees. In one such loud reading a leaf was found accidentally. A girl, who happened to be present just out of curiosity, said ‘Yes' to all that was called out loudly. Later she was summoned to the stage and got her leaf reading in front of many present.

Tea and snacks

It is observed that the topic of Naadi Experiences generally not disclosed unless some sort of intimacy is developed. Therefore, full one hour was planned to provide tea and snacks while the participants freely exchange their experiences informally. The experiment was successful to a good extent.

Unique Experiences

The personalities mentioned in my book having strange and unique instances spoke with authority. Participants were Wing Commander Rakesh Nanda, Pheroze Misty, Rajan Vaidya, and Subhash Havre. Some present were given chance to speak were Kaustubh Butala, Vijay Sabnis, Magician Vijay Kumar.

Wing Commander Rakesh Nanda spoke how he used to help people from any part of country when called over on his Mobile Nos. From Air Martial to even Havildars, how he had served with out any personal gains but as a service to the Maharshees. Pheroze narrated how he mistook his Puja in one of Shiva Temple . He had to go again to perform it with same reverence and faith. How he was rewarded with many opportunities to him and his family members. His pilgrimage to Sadurgiri, 150 kms south of Madurai .

Subhash Havre stated how he is still fighting fit after nine (9) heart Attacks and admission in famous Ruby Hospital in Pune. How he learnt the Modi Lipi (cryptic Script in Marathi) and stood first in Pune University . How he was guided to administer siddha medicines as per predictions from Leaves. He also distributed more than 100 laminated pictures of Agasthya Maharshi. Vijay Sabnis narrated his experiences and of others whom he took to Atri Jeeva Naadi in Chinchwad Centre.

Magician enthralled with his trick to produce a note out of nothing but he said his trick is nothing in front of divining of exact details by great Maharshees of ancient past.

The session was to cut short to allow Wing Commander Oak to speak about he suggestions he had put forth for implementation by the Naadi Centres. The points were read out in Marathi. The same with English version were asked to put up in Naadi Centres along with Trophy presented to them at prominent Place. The list of suggestions is attached as Appendix ‘C' .

The Burning topic of some participants was – Why predictions go wrong? ‘How come the past of person comes 100% accurate whereas the future events do not come true as predicted?

It was not possible to provide satisfactory answer to each and every one. But the topic has been clearly explained by Prof. Adwayanand Galatge in his Marathi book- – ‘Science and Blind Faith Eradication'.

Wing Commander Oak proved the point that the purpose of Great Maharshees was not only to divine 100% accurate predictions but to a great extent make the karma theory happen smoothly. He gave a live example of late Flying Officer Dhananjay Mote.

The explanation in English is attached as Appendix ‘D'. How the divining on palm leaves is extremely impossible explained in Appendix ‘E'. English version of both will be put up shortly.

In the same book he had also give his explanation as to how the seeing of Naadi palm leaf predictions and Performance of Shanti Deeksha - remedial reassures do not contradict each other as stated by Dr. Jayant Narlikar while giving his opinion on Naadi Prediction without experiencing it. The entire correspondence by Prof. Galatge is available in Marathi and in English in the book ‘Bodh Andhshrddhecha'
