THE HISTORY OF PALMISTRY is HASTA SAMUDRIKA SASTRA
The earliest known written reference to palm reading in the World literature are found in two writings in the ancient Vedic literature of India: ‘The Laws of Manu’ and in the ‘Vasishtha Rules’ – which include a list of rules given to guide the ascetic in the correct way to lead the religious life. But what are the origins of the ‘idea’ of palm reading: what is described about how it must have started?
First of all, while the... current world literature started around 3000 BC (written on clay tablets), we have to be aware that the printed written literature on paper dates from about 400 years ago.
Around that time an Indian Sanskrit text, titled: ‘Sariraka Shastra’ , was published which includes Vedic stanzas that describe how ‘Hasta Samudrika Shastra’ (translated: ‘body knowledge of the hand’) has evolved in the early days of human kind. The text was translated by an Indian palmist (V.A.K Ayer) and published in 1960 under the title: “Sariraka Sastra – Indian Science of Hand Reading based on Kartikeyan System”. The book describes how long ago when Lord Vishnu was enjoying his ‘yoga nidra’ in the company of his consort Lakshmi, the sea-lord Samudra showed up and began to write down the auspicious marks on the bodies of the divine couple – for the guidance of humanity. This story explains how classic Indian Palmistry became an art of reading signs via the hand!
The Laws of Manu:
“Manu was the legendary first man, the inspiration for Christianities Adam "
(Quoted from sacret-text.com)
Chapter X in “The Laws of Manu” describes as a guidance for the ascetics as to benefiting from their knowledge and skills and advises ascetics as to protocol etc.
