Palmistry is an integral part of Jyotish practice (astrology) that helps to determine an individual's physical, mental and karmic potential. A full explanation of how to read a palm from the point of view of Vedic wisdom is provided, with tips on how to identify and time those areas impacting on wealth, health and longevity. This book teaches you to analyse the possible implications of life-events as seen from the lines (Rekha) on the palm. This book also offers a number of methods to placate astrological influences via the use of yantra, mantra and gemstones, for example, explaining which gemstones to wear and on which finger. This guide is a thorough introduction to the practice of Vedic palmistry for students and practitioners of the Vedic tradition and those with a general interest in the occult sciences of India, but also for anyone interested in what the hand can tell them about their life potential and circumstances.

As palm reading moves into the modern age, with its emphasis on free will, self-determination, psychology and self-knowledge, it's always good to be reminded of where palmistry began its journey.

This is an excellent and very well-written work on the ancient tradition of Vedic Palmistry or Hasta Rekha Shastra. I learned a lot from this book, as anyone fascinated by the traditions, history and origins of palmistry would be. Highly recommended!
