About the Book The book "PALMISTRY, A TRUE SCIENCE", is a carefully compiled book which contains 13 theories, 210 sketches of lines of the human palms, 64 case studies, 61 clearly and uniquely taken palm impressions. Ever since the origination of this subject, this is the first time that the human palms have been thoroughly analyzed "with reference to both the palms". For the author, the left hand and the right hand of 1000's of cases functioned as one whole comprehensive unit to enable him to compare the structural inter-relationships between different lines. The net result was that he could decipher the differences in dimensions between the left and the right palms such as - difference in lengths, slope, shortness, direction, location, fading characteristics, whether present in one or both the palms etc. The above aspect in his approach to the research was aimed at finding just the structural aspects of the lines on human palms. The other side of the coin is to relate the functions (events, diseases and temperaments) to the line patterns already discovered by the author. For this part of the research, he had to employ sophisticated techniques that only an investigator, a logician, an analyst or a statistician could have employed. In other words, the author employed some of the appropriate human qualities such as tact, wildest imagination, deep analytical power, trial and error method, wild guesses and compilation techniques so that he could bind together all the varied structural and functional extravaganzas present in the hands of his innumerable clients, into cohesive, presentable as well as verifiable rules and theories. Keeping in mind the vast dimension of this great science, the author could accommodate only 3 functions [MONEY and BUSINESS, JOB/CAREER and OVERSEAS TRAVEL / STAY] in this book. His forthcoming books deal with other life events, diseases and human temperaments. This book boasts of so many "firsts". To quote some examples: 1) No book has documented any provable, testable theories (13 in number) in such a minute degree. In the process, this book has secured an exalted status to "PALMISTRY"as a "TRUE SCIENCE". It goes without saying that "palm reading" is a scientific exercise - on par with any other science. 2) No book has featured as many as 64 case studies, and 61 clear palm impressions ( A very high number!! of real examples for a book of this genre--an all time record, all accommodated in just 250 pages 3) One among many highlights of the book is that almost all the palm impressions have been marked out and their corresponding function(s) indicated [A first-time-ever phenomenon] which enhances its authenticity as well as proves its scientific nature. 4) Genuineness of the whole venture lies in the fact that the whole edifice of this book rests on the solid foundation of real life events / diseases / temperaments of all his clients.[ Principles, rules and theories -all derived from these real stories] 5) And the people, the world over, are going to be exposed to an entirely new subject, for the most part of the book (about 95%) is hitherto unheard-of. 6) Last, but not the least, this book has the great potential to spawn a new breed of researchers, as this subject has immense scope for further research. In a world of continuing research, even one discovery fetches world acclaim and recognition, one can imagine what lies in store for this book, which has innumerable discoveries dotting the entire book. Dear Readers! Please watch out for "NEW WINE IN A NEW BOTTLE". The author can be contacted through his e-mail: anuvenkat_25july@yahoo.co.in

About the Author Anu Venkat is a man with a mission. He wants to establish a library of palm prints, reflecting all kinds of life events, all kinds of diseases mirroring different severity levels, from mild degree to serious ones and all kinds of temperaments. He strongly believes (backed up by proofs) that most of the diseases could be diagnosed well ahead of their very occurrence. He has devoted his 3rd book entirely for "diseases", which is going to be of much help to Doctors, as one of the diagnostic tools. To accomplish his Herculean task of setting up his library, he needs time at his disposal and financial security to accomplish his task with a carefree mind. Presently he has been working in a private company as an Accounts Executive. He has a daughter in school, an understanding wife and aged parents, staying with him. In his earlier days he was employed in a charitable hospital, wherein he learnt the basics of palmistry by merely looking at the palms of the poor people who thronged the hospital. They were ever willing to share their problems with him, which helped him in a big way to correlate these events with the line patterns, which he drew from their hands. As he is gifted with very strong memory power, he was always able to remember the specific line patterns of certain people (who mattered the most) and compare them with new cases. Thus his memory came in handy in mentally comparing various cases either with similar patterns or dissimilar patterns. Moreover, he could draw nicely. In certain cases, he even memorized the line patterns of the people by training his eyes intensely on their palms, and on resuming his seat, he would recollect the lines and draw them on a sheet of paper with utmost accuracy and write their life history under the drawings. Also, he would append his predictions about significant patterns. Above all, he has been endowed with the GOD's gift of acute visual perception, by which he could peer deeply through the lines of both the hands and spot out even the minutest of differences in their dimensions between the left and the right palms. Thus, over a period of time of 19 years, he got a good collection of cases which has helped him to frame his theories, rules and principles. He very often used the technique of spreading 40 to 50 cases on the floor of his bed room and comparing case by case / grouping together similar cases (similar or near-similar in structures) / keeping away odd men out etc, doing all kinds of such procedures, all at a time. He even used to read the palms of the beggars, with the sole aim of learning from their hands what actually went wrong with their lives (of course, he persuaded them to narrate their tale of woes. He used tact and persuasive technique in eliciting the true facts about their lives) His clients belongs to various categories - ranging from beggars to rich people, from unemployed to people who often change their jobs, from business men to single-job-career persons, from ulcer patients to bone-injured ones, from deaf, blind, stammering types to street hawkers, from angry-prone people to pusillanimous ones. He hopes that his book would meet with huge success and international acclaim. He has been intensely praying to GOD for HIS blessings ever since he started writing the book. Anu venkat's original name is K.VENKATESAN.

Sample Excerpts

Head Line & Its Associate Lines

... It won't be out of place if it is stressed again that -

a) One major line (some classes of secondary lines too) indicates more than one function; and similarly
b) One function is indicated by more than one class of lines.
c) Same event is reflected by a spectrum of different line patterns within a kind of line pattern, formed in the hands of same members of an affected family....

...The following list would provide a glimpse into the range of FUNCTIONS, which are indicated by the head line & co.
It must be amazing to the readers how versatile and pre-eminent the head line must be so as to guide the people through the important phases of their lives. Well in advance, it gives them timely warnings about impending dangers or misfortunes that are going to strike them OR reassures them about the positive happenings in their lives .

MYTH EXPLODED

Though longer lines have to end, incidentally, on a mount, it doesn't in any way means the partaking of the qualities of that mount. This point is in total contrast to what has been advocated so far by the traditional palmists through the centuries. But this sensationally new orientation given to this line of approach has to be perceived and adopted by the palmists the world over, if only to arrive at the true scientific facts.
It is hereby theorized that the line pattern anatomy & characteristics are fundamental to the business of palm reading rather than the mount qualities, which in any case are not too dominant a factor in the broad scheme of predicting. It is quite logical to say that the long head line which reaches either the upper mars mount or the moon mount does so not so much by the influence of the mounts into which it finishes as by virtue of its own anatomical feature.

PALMS COVERED WITH OVERLAPPING PALMER FORCES

Each of the event, disease and temperament having the potential to create line patterns are directed as such by invisible palmer forces prevalent on our palm surface.
The area of operation of these palmer forces varies according to the impact of individual events, diseases and temperament.
Respective line patterns could form on any point and stretch out within their area of operation. The individual palmer force areas could cross or overlap one another.
That explains why 2 or more lines occupy a certain path on the palm at a time, each indicating different function. This is attributed to the overlapping of palmer forces.
What it boils down to is that the individual mounts lose their identities and only the palmer forces are the sole indicators of events, diseases or temperament, transmitted through corresponding line patterns.

Readers here could as well recall that certain lines like the fate line does not always run straight to the saturn mount; instead it takes deviations on the way and in some cases even ends up in between the saturn and the sun mounts, or even faces in the direction of the jupiter or the sun mounts or stops dead on the head line or just short of the head line or curves in towards the life line.

This is simply a case of the line being directed by the palmer forces (and not dictated by the mounts)....

...THEORY -1

EVENT, DISEASE & TEMPERAMENT GET REFLECTED ON BOTH THE PALMS ON A SHARING-BASIS

There is no distinction with regard to the formation of function-reflecting line patterns on both the palms. A pattern may form either in the left or in the right palm, or one set of pattern in the left and another set in the right palm, each set of patterns reflecting the same event.
If a pattern is present in only one palm it means the presence of a function in some degree.
If there are two same OR different patterns formed on either palm then it means there is an accentuation of the said function or the maximum impact of the function.
The different degrees of markings (ranging from weak, fairly strong to strong) reflect the different degrees of impact of a function (ranging from feeble, moderate to heavy) respectively.
How to find an aligned palm? whether left or right palm?
When there are modifications of main lines and /or formation of sub-head lines and especially they are marked in a relatively more pronounced manner in the first palm than in the other palm, then the former is the aligned palm and the latter, the re-aligned palm. Primarily, we have to follow 2 steps to arrive at the exact degree of variations for each set of lines. First, we should keep the normal pattern as the yardstick and measure the aligned lines (say, in palm-1) against it in order to know the degree of variation; second, we should measure the aligned lines against the re-aligned lines (say, in palm-2) in order to know the kind of change the aligned line(s)in palm-1 have undergone in the re-aligned palm(palm-2).
The implications of these procedures have been explained in the following paragraphs.

THEORY -2

WHAT IS MEANT BY THE RE-ALIGNMENT OF LINE PATTERNS?

Single or a group of lines, which constitute a single function, form themselves into a certain pattern. This is called the "ALIGNMENT" of a line pattern.
Alignment can take place in only one palm which can be left or right palm.
The basic principle of scientific palmistry is that the left and the right palm can never be same as there are always big or moderate or slightest of changes in the line dimensions between the palms.
Thus re-alignment invariably shows:
a) change in the position of a line in the re-aligned palm from its original placement in the aligned palm,
b) change in other anatomical features of a line in the re-aligned palm from that originally present in the aligned palm (such as change in thickness, sealing of broken ends of lines, variation in the degree of slope and so on).
c) Fading away of a part of the line in the re-alignment palm while the same is fully formed in the aligned palm.[ The attention of the readers is called to the fact that total disappearance of the major lines (except the fate line) in either palm is not at all possible, as the basic rules of palmistry don't permit that....

...WHAT DOES THE RE-ALIGNMENT OF A LINE PATTERN ACTUALLY DENOTE?

Firstly, an assessment has to be made as to the very existence of a function, and, if a function is present, then as a second step the degree of impact of the function should be gauged from the depth of the alignment of the patterns, and then as a third step, the other palm should be observed to check what type of re-alignment form has been displayed, (as for each alignment pattern there exits a variety of re-aligned patterns, {but just one type, at a time, could be displayed by the re-aligned pattern} ), so as to deduce --
a)the longevity of the function that was inferred already,
b) the relative degree of impact of the event.
I have to make it clear to the readers the basic difference between connotations of the same type of line patterns (though structurally varying in the re-aligned palm) in both the palms. The difference is one of relativity.
The presence of a pattern denotes -in the aligned palm, the mere presence of a function (an event, a disease or temperament); -in the re-aligned palm, the presence of relatively higher or lower degree of the same function as well as the period of time up to which the function would be existent.....

....THEORY -6
[ FATE LINE ACTING LIKE A CHAMELEON ]

ONE KIND OF PATTERN GETS ITSELF CONVERTED TO BECOME ANOTHER KIND OF PATTERN IN THE SAME PALM OR IN THE OTHER PALM....

....RECURRING EXPENDITURES OF BIG NATURE

It is common in all the families, irrespective their financial status, to incur expenditures quite regularly. But the point I intend to drive home is the periodicity of such expenditures and the financial capacity to bear them on the part of the householders.
What qualifies as a big expenditure?
To quote one example, in a family if the male member, the sole bread-winner, earns around Rs.5000 per month, and on a rough estimate he incurs an expenditure to the tune of about RS.50,000 or more, as a one-time payment, then that is a huge expenditure. If expenditures of such propor-tions, or even more than that, get repeated periodically, drowning him in chronic debts, then it has more serious financial implications upsetting the rhythm of his whole family. For an earner of RS.10,000 per month, a one-time outgo of RS.1,00,000 is a huge one. This scale is, though hypothetical, yet a practical one at that. But the readers should keep in mind the fact that for a multi-millionaire expenditure of a few lakhs of rupees have no concern provided the expenditures are worthwhile. In those cases there may be just a faint markings or none at all. But even with them, if the game is not worth the candle, then it turns out to be huge loss and duly the relevant lines form on their palms too or modifications occur on the corresponding major line. Normally, line patterns form on the palm on two counts:
i) for any huge one-time expenditure, or,
ii)more frequency of such expenditures( in that case, the lines become stronger, form quite a few in number They become more intense in the case of financial lines; get deeply modified in the case of major line).

LINE PATTERN INDICATOR - A LONG, STRAIGHT HEAD LINE REACHING UP TO THE PERCUSSION ON THE SIDE OF THE PALM ON OR ABOUT THE UPPER MARS-UPPER MOON ZONE IN ONE OR BOTH PALMS

CASE STUDY -4 [Plate -4]
Fig -60 exemplifies this event better.

Briefly stated, it's just about okay to have a long head line in just one palm, and not in both the palms. The rationale behind this subtle difference in pattern formation is that if the head line were to go right across the palm till the very edge of the palm in both the palms, then that kind of extremity would have meant a serious financial implications having crippling effect.
To explain further, the native of such kind of palm would be in deep trouble, not only spending a lot but also borrowing heavily in order to meet his expenditures and thereby plunging himself in serious debts....

...3) SHORT-TERM / LONG-TERM REPAYMENT OF LOANS OBTAINED FOR PURCHASE OF PERSONAL ASSETS OR FOR DISBURSEMENT OF LOANS INCURRED BY OTHERS (NEAR AND DEAR ONES)

The kind of thought processes and the resultant mind set that occurs in a person's mind all through the period he/she repays the loan incurred, for the purchase of personal assets, for meeting personal expenses or for disbursement of third-party loans (the third-party may be a near & dear one ), all modify the head line & co in particular ways.
Loan may be obtained towards investment in a small or big business.
The tension, responsibility, anxiety, and the financial crunch, suffered all through the loan period by the indebted person, put him/her mind in a state of disharmony until the final settlement is made.
In some cases, even the hangover effect persists on the mind for some time to come.
The severity of such an impact varies according to the magnitude of the suffering undergone by the person in debt.
It is a general rule that, smaller the loan, lesser the problem and less intense and less stronger the line that is formed. Similarly, bigger the loan amount, and more intense and stronger the line that is formed.
But we can not discount the fact that in some instances when the loan repayment is irregularly and erratically done by the debtor, irrespective of the amount of loan taken, things might go haywire and he/she brings the trouble upon himself/herself.
Whether small or big loan, the manner of repayment or much worse, the non-payment is the chief troublemaker....

...Palmistry is all about logical conclusions. That is why it can very much be called as predictive as well as interpretative science.
With the help of wealth of information provided by the lines on the palm, we can reach conclusions a bout a person and guide him in the nick of time and help him/her take vital financial decisions.

THE FATE LINE & ITS ASSOCIATE LINES

SHORT FATE LINES & SHORT CHANGE LINES CROWDED AROUND THE BASE OF THE LIFE LINE / PARENT FATE LINE - EACH EFFECTIVE FATE LINE/CHANGE LINE INDICATES EACH CHANGE OF JOB (COUNTING TO BE DONE WITHIN CERTAIN PARAMETERS SUCH AS TAKING MINIMUM PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT)

THE FATE LINE BROKEN INTO 2 OR MORE FRAGMENTS - WITH THE BROKEN FRAGMENTS CLOSELY SET OR SCATTERED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS - EACH BREAK INDICATING EACH CHANGE OF JOB OF DIFFERENT DURATION BASED ON THE STYLE OF BREAKING-UP

In the other palm, the head line regains its original length. But stil, deep marking of the brooding line, though with a slight shift in position, stands as a proof of the intensity of the event. There is another new pattern in this palm - life line lower middle segment, which gives way - an indicator of a huge turn-around in the career.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS BOOK:

A very brief outline of what this book contains won't be out of place.
First, my respectable readers could as well ask themselves the following questions.

1) Which subject on earth [except palmistry, of course] can boast of throwing very advance intimation about one's life is such minute details??
In every major event one's "fate" plays a crucial hand? like for example
a) whether mr.x will re-pay loans obtained towards purchase of a flat/car/ business etc ? [People can be happy that they can be proud owners of assets]
b) whether mr.x will lose huge amount of money or small amount of money in some ways?
c) how much of peace mrs.x will have in her marital life or, whether she will have conflict with her husband?; How serious will the conflict be? [Parents of the girl could be happy that their daughter will have a happy marriage]
d) whether mr.x will have bone fracture/ limb injury??? [a very strange as well as an eerie fact of palmistry indeed, when we were to think for a moment why at all should the palm lines drop hints about such an highly unexpected event as "accidental bone fracture". An accident is destined to occur!!! How paradoxical??
INSCRUTABLE ARE THE WAYS OF THIS SCIENCE !!!

e) whether mr.x's parent/ wife/ child will die prematurely?
f) whether mr.x has ulcer, diabetes, any infectious disease OR,
whether mrs.x has any serious uterus-related ailment leading to its removal?
g) How many jobs mr.x will change. Their durations??
h) How long will mr.x stay abroad? [Quite a happy news for some people, if they get advance information about their potential overseas employment]
i) Palmistry can reassure people in so many ways like‹ whether mr.x will get another job if his present job is shaky? [so that he can get some relief]
If he loses his present job and feels bitterly about it, he can rest assured that what all had to happen, happened as destined. Not need to fuzz about it. It can be proved from his palm lines that all that happened are the handiwork of his "fate" whose course he can not change.
It can also be proved from the lines on mr. X's palm that he will not lose money in his business if he were to do one.[ Palmistry is a very useful guide for all businessmen indeed!!! They can plan their investments with great relief]

A great boon for all people in business community, student community and for those having career ambitions. It can address many more such vital questions about one's life.
