CHAPTER 5 OF 12

Chapter 5: when a child comes, and the life that child will have

Chapter 5 is the progeny chapter. It reads when the child takes birth and the details recorded for that child, whether the delivery is normal or caesarean, the complications and the happiness that come through the child, and then the child’s own life: lifestyle, education, health and marriage. Ancestral property is read here too.

What this chapter covers

Chapter 5 speaks about progeny, and it starts with the question most people bring to it: when will the child take birth. The Maharishis record the date of birth of the child, the gender, the specifications and characteristics, and, if there are any, the differently abled details. Whether the birth will be a normal one or a caesarean is written here as well.

Both sides of what follows are recorded. The complications that come through the child are set down, and so is the happiness. That balance is the reason the chapter is worth hearing whole rather than stopping at the first line that answers your question.

The chapter then reads the child’s own life rather than only the parent’s experience of it. Their lifestyle is described, their education, their health and their marriage, and the relationship between the children and their maternal uncle. Parents whose children are already adults often find this half of the chapter is the reason they came without knowing it.

Ancestral property belongs here too. The problems connected with ancestral properties are explained, and so are the luck and the fortunes for actually getting them, which are not the same thing as being entitled to them. Chapter 5 is also the chapter to hear if what you want to know is whether your child will be able to do their studies and settle abroad.

Questions this chapter answers

Eight questions Chapter 5 is read to answer, all of them from what the Maharishis set down in this chapter.

  • When will the child take birth, and what date of birth is recorded?
  • Will the birth be a normal one or a caesarean?
  • What characteristics and specifications are written for the child?
  • What complications, and what happiness, come through the child?
  • What is written about my child’s education, health and marriage?
  • How does the relationship between my child and their maternal uncle run?
  • Will my child be able to do their studies and settle abroad?
  • What problems and what fortunes surround the ancestral property?

How Chapter 5 sits with the rest

Chapter 5 is read from your leaf, so it is your record of your child rather than your child’s own reading. A grown child who wants their own twelve chapters read gives their own thumb impression and has their own leaf found.

This chapter is not a medical test and it is not a substitute for one. What is written is read out; what happens in a hospital stays a matter for your doctor.

If you are waiting for a child and that is the whole reason you are here, the page on waiting for a child sets out plainly what a reading addresses and what it will not do, before you book anything. The chapter before this one, Chapter 4 on your mother, land and vehicles, covers the property you buy yourself, while the ancestral property sits here. Marriage, yours rather than your child’s, is read in Chapter 7.

The chapter after this one, Chapter 6 on debts, illness, enemies and litigation, is where health problems in general are read. The seven special chapters are separate again. How your leaf is found in the first place is described on how a Nadi reading works, and the practical questions are on the FAQ page.

Nadi readings are a traditional practice. Nothing here is medical, legal or financial advice, and no outcome is guaranteed. Please continue to follow your doctor.

Questions people ask

We are waiting for a child. Will this chapter tell us when? +

Chapter 5 speaks about when the child takes birth, and that is read out as it is written on your leaf. What we will not do is promise you a year, because the reading is a description of the leaf and not an assurance from us. Please keep following whatever your doctor has advised, in parallel and without interruption.

Is this a medical test of any kind? +

No. A Nadi reading is a traditional practice. It examines nobody, tests nothing and diagnoses nothing, and it is read alongside your doctor rather than instead of one. No part of this chapter should be used to make a medical decision, to delay a treatment, or to replace anything a hospital has told you.

My children are already grown. Is the chapter still worth reading? +

Yes, and most of it is about them rather than about their birth. Chapter 5 reads the child’s lifestyle, education, health and marriage, the relationship between the children and their maternal uncle, and the complications and happiness that come through them. Parents of adult children usually come for that half of the chapter.

Is this the chapter for a child going abroad? +

It is. Chapter 5 is the chapter to hear if what you want to know is whether your child will be able to do their studies and settle abroad. It is read together with what the Maharishis wrote about the child’s education and lifestyle, so you get the surrounding picture rather than a single yes or no.

Why is ancestral property in the children chapter? +

Because the Maharishis placed it there, next to progeny. Chapter 5 explains the problems related to ancestral properties and the luck and fortunes for actually receiving them. Property you buy in your own lifetime sits in Chapter 4 instead. Neither passage is legal advice about a title or a dispute.
