If you’re considering your first online Nadi reading, knowing exactly what to expect — from booking through to the final Kandam explanation — can make the experience far less unfamiliar. Here’s a realistic walkthrough of how an online consultation actually unfolds, step by step, using the process followed at Siva Nadi Astro as the example.

Step 1: Booking Your Consultation
The process typically starts with reaching out to the centre — by phone, website inquiry, or messaging — to schedule a video consultation time. At this stage, you’re usually given guidance on what to prepare, most importantly your thumb impression.
Step 2: Preparing and Submitting Your Thumb Impression
Before the video call, you’re asked to take a clear photograph of your thumb impression — right thumb if you’re male, left thumb if you’re female — pressed onto plain white paper in good lighting. This photo is sent ahead of time so the Guruji can review its clarity and begin the classification process before your scheduled call, or at the very start of it.
Step 3: Joining the Video Call
At the scheduled time, you connect with the astrologer over video call. A brief introduction usually follows, along with confirmation of your submitted thumb impression and a quick check that your connection and audio are stable enough for the identification process ahead.
Step 4: Thumb Classification
The Guruji examines your thumb impression’s ridge pattern and classifies it into its traditional category, which determines which bundles of palm leaves will be searched. If the impression isn’t clear enough at this stage, you’ll be asked to resend a better photo before proceeding.
Step 5: The Bundle Search Begins
The astrologer retrieves the relevant bundles of leaves — this typically happens off-camera, since it involves physically locating and untying manuscripts — and begins the identification process, opening leaves one at a time.
Step 6: Sakshi Statement Verification
This is the heart of the consultation. The Guruji reads out short statements from each leaf, and you respond with a simple yes or no. Leaves that don’t match are set aside, and the search continues until every statement on one particular leaf holds true. This stage can take anywhere from thirty minutes to a couple of hours.
Step 7: Leaf Confirmation
Once a leaf’s statements are fully verified, the astrologer confirms it as yours. This is often the moment seekers describe as the most striking part of the entire consultation — hearing specific, accurate facts about their life confirmed through their own honest answers.
Step 8: Choosing Your Kandams
With your leaf confirmed, you’ll typically discuss which chapters to focus on — the General Kandam for an overall life picture, and any Special Kandams relevant to your specific concerns, such as marriage, career, or health. If you’re unsure, the astrologer can help guide this choice based on what brought you to the reading.
Step 9: Kandam Translation and Explanation
The Guruji translates the relevant sections of your leaf from old Tamil script into your preferred language, explaining the guidance, life details, and any recommended remedies. This is the most conversational part of the session, where you can ask questions freely.
Step 10: Closing the Consultation
Once your requested Kandams have been covered, the session wraps up with any final questions and guidance on next steps — whether that’s specific remedies to follow, a suggestion to revisit certain chapters later, or simply a summary of what was discussed.
What You Should Have Ready Before Your Call
- A clear thumb impression photo, submitted ahead of time if requested.
- A stable internet connection and a quiet space to focus during the identification stage.
- A general sense of what you want to ask about, so you can guide the Kandam selection once your leaf is confirmed.
- Patience — rushing through the yes/no verification stage doesn’t speed up an authentic search.
Why This Structure Matters
Following this consistent structure — rather than skipping steps or rushing toward a quick answer — is what separates a genuine online Nadi consultation from a shortcut version. At Siva Nadi Astro, Guruji M.S. Murthy Swamy follows this exact sequence for every online seeker, bringing the same discipline built over more than 30 years and five generations of practice within the Sri Maha Shiva Sukshma Nadi Astrology tradition to each remote consultation, regardless of where in the world the seeker is joining from.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does an entire online Nadi consultation usually last? It varies depending on how quickly your leaf is identified, but sessions commonly range from about an hour to a few hours when including both identification and Kandam interpretation.
2. Do I need any special software for the video call? Typically, a standard video calling platform is used — the centre will confirm which one and share a link or instructions ahead of your scheduled time.
3. Can I record my online Nadi consultation? This varies by centre policy — it’s best to ask directly beforehand, since recording practices differ and some centres have specific guidelines around this.
4. What happens if my leaf isn’t found during the scheduled call time? A genuine centre will explain next steps honestly, which may include continuing the search in a follow-up session, without charging for the unsuccessful attempt.
5. Is there anything I shouldn’t do during the identification stage of the call? Avoid volunteering extra information beyond yes or no answers, and try to stay in a quiet, distraction-free space so you can respond clearly and honestly throughout.
