Vedic Palmistry: is Hinduism in India the birth place of modern Palm Reading?

Palmistry in India

Palmistry expertise from India: The ancient history of Palmistry is a bit sketchy. India is often described as the birth place of modern Palm Reading. The culture of India presents some old Hindu writings which appear to explain why Palmistry is still a significant part of the culture in modern India!

However, the origins of Palmistry are shrouded in mystery and believed to date at least three thousand years ago.

‘Hasta Samudrika Shastra’, ‘Ravana Samhita’ and ‘Hasth Sanjeevani” are some of the famous ancient Hindi books on palmistry, which are available even today. The ancient documents of India take us back to the prehistoric period of the Aryan civilization.

However, translations of these old Indian documents are very rare. One is presented by the Indian palmist V.A.K. Ayer, titled: ‘SARIRAKA SASTRA: The Indian science of Hand Reading based on the Kartikeyan system’. But the author admits that far most modern palmists have no access to the old dcouments and know little about the roots of Vedic Palmistry.
