Introduction

A conference on Naadi Palm Leaf Astrology was conducted on 14th Oct 2007 in
Pune at Udyan Prasad Karyalaya, from 1300hrs to 1830hrs.

The Beginning

Wing Commander welcomed the Naadi Centre owners and staff from Pune and
many cities of Maharashtra. List of Centres invited is attached as Appendix ‘A’
Shri. Chandrakant Shewale, Chief Organiser of the conference lit the lamps along
with Mrs. Alka Oak, Prof Adwayanand Galtage. Chanting of Mantras from Vedas and
Upanishads was conducted by Dr. Nityanand Deshmukh and Party.
The second edition of book titled “Vidgyan Aani Buddhiwaad”(The Science and
Rationalism) was released by the present on the stage. Staff like Naadi readers, translators
and Table Managers and helpers except owners of Naadi centres were honoured with a
special trophy, a Uparna (Scarf), Flower and Gaurav Patra (. Letter of Honour).

Appointments
 Desks were provided in other Hall to the Naadi centres to register the names for
their Centres with concession of Rs 50 per person.( Normal fees charges were Rs 400 to
Rs 600) Many new persons got opportunity to register at many centres in Pune and other
cities in one go. However no Naadi Reading was conducted.

Books Fare
Stalls from Books shops were doing brisk business to sell thousands of rupees
worth books on Naadi predictions by Wing Commander Oak in Marathi, Hindi and
English and other authors. List of books for sale is attached as Appendix ‘B’

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-
(िवजाि आिण अंधशदा ििमुल ु ि) – ‘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 Marathi 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’

an single leaf of Naadi Palm leaf. Ever though he had some collection of esoteric topics
like Black Magic.
