No, not everybody has a palm Leaf written for them. However, those people that feel a call to search for their leaf often have one waiting for them.

The palm Leaves are stored in the palm Leaf Libraries, which are located mainly in the south of India. There are also a few small libraries in the north of India, Sri Lanka and Bali.

No one knows really how many palm Leaves or Libraries exist. There is no centralized system.

It is said that the Nadi palm Leaves were written by the Sapta Rishis, a group of 7 (sapta) sages (Rishis). Therefore, it is possible that one individual can have up to 7 different versions of his biography, one written by each of the Rishis. The main author of the palm Leaves is the Rishi “Agastya”, though there are also different formats of Nadi, by the same author. The library are work with mainly does Readings from the Rishi “Agastya”, but also leaves from other Rishis are available on request.
