In this in-depth guide, Vedic palmist-astrologer Ghanshyam Singh Birla shows how to utilize the ancient Indian art of palmistry to better understand yourself and your love patterns, cultivate and deepen your relationships, and make changes to improve your happiness and success in love. Sharing hundreds of case studies with detailed illustrations, he explores the meanings of the major and minor lines, signs, and mounts of the hands as they relate to love and relationships.

Birla explains how to learn from your destiny line whether you are receptive to someone entering your life and how to recognize when the Saturn, Sun, or Mercury mounts suggest a need to express emotions. His detailed study of the heart line in relation to the other lines and signs of the hands explains why you attract certain relationships. He then provides practical ways to understand your individual approach to love. The book is filled with hundreds of examples of palm prints, which you can compare to the palms of your friends and loved ones to gain insight on your compatibility.

By seeing ourselves reflected in our hands, we can learn why we succeed in some relationships and not others, and what we can do to strengthen bonds with the most important people in our lives.

INTRODUCTION

The Palmistry of Love

Each one of us longs for deep and meaningful relationships. In a lifetime we have numerous opportunities to experience a union of souls: between business associates, friends, a parent and child, a husband and wife, a teacher and student, a guru and disciple.

We come together—consciously or subconsciously—to help each other fulfill a purpose. We have a choice. Either we can enter into a relationship fully aware of the impact the union is likely to have on us, or we can enter into one oblivious to what we may be about to set in motion.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY A LOVING RELATIONSHIP?

In Sanskrit, the language of the Vedas, the term that best approximates “relationship” is sambandh, which derives from sam, meaning whole, and bandh, meaning bound. Within this word lies a paradox. In order to be whole, free, fully realized beings we must choose to be bound—to be connected—whether to ourselves or to another. And these bonds, these connections, allow us to move forward in freedom.

This binding force permeates the entire universe. It exists in every atom of creation. The Moon is bound to the Earth, just as the Earth is bound to the Sun; so also are protons, electrons, and neutrons bound together to form atoms. Therefore, the binding force exists in each one of us—in the very fabric of our physical body. This universal interconnectedness was understood by the ancient rishis of India, who developed a system of interpreting the features of the human body, one branch of which was palmistry.

WHAT IS PALMISTRY?

Palmistry is the study of the lines and signs of the hands. Throughout our lifetime, our bodies register change. For example, the lines on our face that we acquire with age reflect experience and, we hope, wisdom. Lines and signs on our hands, present at birth, grow as we evolve, signifying the accumulated experience of our lives.

Centuries ago, the sages of India established a system of knowledge stemming from the Vedas, the earliest sacred Hindu scriptures. They studied the hands as a means to unveil and understand the self as well as relationships with others. They saw that the unique patterns of lines and signs in the hand come into being as a direct result of the way we think. Just as a pebble thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create a similar effect.

Our hands offer us an objective view of who we really are. Through the study of palmistry, we have an opportunity to see to what extent our thoughts and feelings influence our happiness and the harmony of those around us. As we exercise our will in choosing positive patterns of thinking to replace any negative ones, we see our lines begin to change, reflecting a shift in our consciousness. As Shakespeare observed, we are masters of our own fate: “The fault . . . is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”

HOW DO WE USE PALMISTRY TO FIND LOVE?

The sages of India observed over time that specific physical features of the hands alter in response to changes in our physiological, intellectual, and emotional makeup.

For example, a nine-year-old boy who blamed himself for his parents’ divorce showed a head line with a clearly discernible break, where none had been evident before. This break reflected his inability to comprehend the dissolution of his family. However, it would be misleading to interpret the significance of the lines of head, heart, destiny, and so on in isolation from the whole hand. The child also had a strong heart line, indicating the inner resources to survive this traumatic experience. Hand prints taken several years later showed the break beginning to repair.

It is the pattern of lines, then, not the individual lines themselves, that is significant. The boy’s long heart line signified his ability to feel deeply. However, he had a choice. He could have allowed negative feelings to overwhelm him and make him bitter—first toward his parents, then in his own dealings with others. Instead, he overcame his pain and learned to recognize that human relationships are complex; he became forgiving and compassionate. In his adult life, he was able to develop healthy bonds with others. In fact, it was a dialogue between the intellect, which could recognize human frailty, and the heart, which could accept it with understanding, that brought about the transformation both in the lines of the hand and in the young man.

The process of forming a bond with another person is analogous to going for a drive in the country. We can venture forth with no goal in mind, and take whatever country lanes or woodland roads seem attractive. We may have the adventure of a lifetime, or we may become completely lost. However, with a map, we can still choose the interesting fork in the road; but we will always know where we are and where we are going. Palmistry is the roadmap we consult on our journey through life. The study of the features of the hand with its lines and signs allows us to see where we are physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. We can also see the direction we are likely to take—unless we choose otherwise. The map of the hand shows us possible obstacles and impediments to our progress, which we can either avoid or transform.

Self-Awareness Through Palmistry

THE STUDY OF PALMISTRY

The goal of palmistry is to assist personal evolution by establishing an equilibrium in all areas of life through greater self-awareness. This equilibrium can be cultivated at the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious levels. A better understanding of the three levels of awareness will help you gain insight into your own reactions to everyday life situations, including your relationships.

Centuries ago, the sages of India transcribed the wisdom of the Vedas into six major texts known as Vedangas (or limbs of the Vedas). One of the foremost of these limbs—jyotish—represents the “eyes” of the Vedas. Jyotish, which translates literally as lord of light, is the study of the effects of light on human beings—in particular, the heavenly lights of Sun, Moon, stars, and planets.

Jyotish itself contains many branches of learning. One of them, Samudrik Shastra, which translates as the ocean of knowledge, consists of a system of interpreting the features of the human body (human morphology). Just as the Earth is part of the solar system, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy—itself, merely a small part of the universe—so each of us is a microcosmic universe with galaxies, constellations, and solar systems. Each cell with its protons, neutrons, and electrons is a miniature solar system. The human body is constructed in patterns that repeat themselves down to the microscopic level. For example, we can see that the circulatory system, with its multiple-scale branching arteries, veins, capillaries, and blood vessels, repeats the same pattern from large to small. The configuration of lines on the hand follows a similar design of multiscale branching.

Within Samudrik Shastra there are many branches of knowledge, such as graphology (the study of handwriting), phrenology (the study of the structure of the skull), and palmistry. In India, palmistry is known as hast jyotish, which is the study of the effects of light from the heavenly bodies on hast—the hand.

To a greater or lesser degree, most people experience physiological reactions to emotions. Our hands turn cold and clammy before a visit to the dentist, we blush when praised or embarrassed, our throat tightens when we hear that a loved one has been stricken with calamity, and laughter releases tension. There is an observable link between the mind and...
