A Kandam (காண்டம்) is a chapter or section of your Nadi palm leaf reading. The ancient sages organised the complete life story
of each soul into sixteen distinct chapters, each covering a specific domain of human existence. The first
twelve Kandams mirror the twelve houses of traditional Vedic astrology, while Kandams 13 through 16 are unique
to the Nadi tradition and are considered among the most spiritually powerful. Most seekers begin with Kandam 1
(General Overview) and then choose additional Kandams based on their current life questions and priorities.
