Remarkable Family Lineage-Sacred Tradition
We belong to the Vanniyar family, historically served as temple priests, astrologers, and custodians of rituals in certain regions of Tamil Nadu. We are closely associated with astrology, Siddha medicine, palmistry, and almanac (panchangam) reading.

For the past four generations, my family has been devoted to the sacred science of Nādi Astrology. This tradition has been carefully preserved and passed down from my great-grandfather to the present day.
Even before that, for more than six generations, our ancestors served in temples in various roles like doing Pooja for Lord Shiva, maintaining rituals, and ceremonies in temples etc. The turning point came with my great-grandfather Rajarajan, who was born with special wisdom and a deep connection to Lord Shiva.

His son, Guru Arulalar Ponnusamy, carried forward this divine path with compassion and service. His grandson, Guru Ghana Rajangam, expanded the reach of Nādi astrology, earning respect for his precision and insight. His great-grandson, Sadguru Rajendra Swamigal, my father, has been widely revered for his spiritual guidance and mastery of Nādi astrology.
My father, Sadguru Rajendra Swamigal, has been uniquely blessed to expand the sacred tradition of Nādi astrology to people across the world. Through divine guidance from the universe, he received the inner call to carry the wisdom of the ancient palm-leaf manuscripts to lands beyond India.
With this spiritual mission, he has brought Nādi astrology to seekers in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Dubai, the USA, Canada, Australia, and London. In every place, those who were destined — already blessed to have their leaf — were able to access it through his service.
This is not merely a journey across geography, but a continuation of the Siddhars’ vision: that the knowledge written on palm leaves is not bound by time or place. My father has become a bridge between ancient Tamil wisdom and the modern world, ensuring that those chosen souls, wherever they live, can receive the guidance written for them long ago.
This wisdom was gradually passed down through generations, and today, I continue this journey as a custodian of my family’s Nādi astrology tradition, dedicated to serving and guiding those who seek divine knowledge.
Today, I am blessed to continue this unbroken lineage, carrying the wisdom of my forefathers and offering guidance through the ancient tradition of Nādi astrology, as practiced and preserved in my family for generations.
