Palmistry TRIVIA from Asia: |
|
• The word 'palmistry' is most popular in Asia, especially in Pakistan (e.g. Lahore & Karachi) & India (e.g. New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai) - source: GOOGLE trends.
• India played a significant role in the early history of 'palmistry'; the older reference to the origins of palmistry appears to be a reference in the ancient Vedas from about 2000BC - source: cheirology.net.
• Famous palmistry systems in India are: 'Hast(a) Samudrika Sastra' (based on a Vedic stanza about the sea-lord Samudra) & 'Sariraka Shastra' (based on a sage about Lord Kartikeya). The latter is considered as the oldest system, but the former is today much more popular.
• India can today still be described as an important center in the fields of 'palmistry' - for in the 'Global Palmistry Network' no other country has more palmists listed (85) than India!
