Question ID: 56469
What I am going to ask is not going to be easy to answer. I have tried
myself, but with the information I was able to recollect from the
documentary I saw on TV a long time ago is too fragmented to allow me
to find an answer. Experts likely to answer this question should have
a substantial knowledge of the Arabic world as I suspect that what I
am looking for is located in an Arabic country.

I would like to know the location of what I call "The Knowing
Library". It is a library that contains pergament rolls for every
person that will visit it. It describes the persons past, present and
future life as well as a general description of the personality of
that individual. The language that they are written in is not spoken
by many people anymore, the commentator that went to this site for
purpose of his documentary had to hire a translator that was able to
translate what the people that operate the library were reading out
aloud. Again, I suspect the location of the library to be in an Arabic
country or at least in one where a version of Arabic used to be
spoken. The age of the library is not exactly known to me neither, I
only remember that it is very old from an oxidental point of view
meaning that it dates back to B.C. . Once more, they said that there
would be a pergament roll waiting for every person showing up at the
library and I want to have a proof for that and travel there myself.

I am sure this was not a hoax. This question is not intented to
mislead any Google expert but is a question that I am really seeking
an answer for, please do take it seriously even though the content
might sound somewhat superstitious to some.

Thank you very much for your attention, I am looking forward for your
comments. As I am on a travel through Africa at the moment there might
be a time lag in the answers that I can provide to feedback that you
might want me to provide. Please understand though that I do not know
more than what I wrote here in this description so the question should
relate to other things.

Dear goodmen1-ga,

The TV documentary you have seen was indeed no hoax. Such an
absolutely unique ancient library does really exist, though I do not
dare giving an opinion whether the records on every individual's life
and destiny are mere humbug or something one should take for serious.

However, your memory of the TV documentary concerning the geographical
location of that library and the language of the ancient scriptures
was not quite right. This might be the reason why your extensive
research has not revealed satisfying results so far: The location is,
in fact, not Arabia but Southern India. And the very old language of
these recordings is not a form of Arabic, but Ancient Tamil (which
looks, at least to everyone who is not a highly specialized linguist,
very much like Arabic indeed). Otherwise, the Indian institution
matches your description exactly.

To avoid confusion, I will start with the basic answer on your
question. The library you described is located in Vaithisvarankoil, a
village approximately 26 kilometers from the town of Chidambaram in
the southern Indian federal state Tamil Nadu. Here is the complete
address:

Vashistar Nadi Astrological Center
Nadi Navalar
No. 67, West Car Street
Vaithisvarankoil
609 117 India (Tamil Nadu)

The library, part of a temple of the dieties Shiva and Parvati, is not
a secret place; everyone who desires it may ask there for obtaining
information from the scipture allegedly containing information on his
past, present and future life. The records - called Naids - are not
written down on parchment or something similar, but on palm leaves.
Hence it is often referred to as the "Palm Leaves Library". For a fee,
the priest in charge of the library will find the visitor's individual
recording from the archives, and a graduate translator for Ancient
Tamil (a very old languange nearly extinct) will translate it orally
to Hindi or English. To consult the records, personal attendance is
essential.

The origin of this library is rather mythical. The old legend says
that the Indian wise man Bhrigu had the theurgic ability to foresee
the destinies of tousands of people not even born yet, but who were
predetermined to come to the Palm Leaves Library one far day to find
out about their lives. He wrote down his knowledge on a huge number of
palmleaves in about 5000 BC, supposedly. Since then, the records have
been copied on fresh palm leaves again and again over the centuries by
initiated priests.

The Palm Leaves Library of Vaithisvarankoil is only the most famous
one. In fact, there are several such collections in India and Sri
Lanka, all of which claim to derive their records from Bhrigu original
scriptures. A list of some additional libraries can be found on Tigo
Zeyen's website "Palmblatt-Orakel":
http://www.palmblatt-orakel.de/palmblatt-les.html

The library of Vaithisvarankoil has been introduced to a wider Western
public in a TV documentary by German travel author and theologian
Holger Kersten who went there in the early 90s, though it is
absolutely possible that other TV documentaries have been made there
before. The austrian author Peter Krassa, inspired and curious by
Kersten's report, also visited that Palm Leaves Library in 1993. He
had his future predicted and later wrote several books and articles
about it, one of which I happened to know by chance.

Should you be able to read German, you might be interested in one of
Peter Krassa's books on this topic, "Die Palmblattbibliothek und
andere geheimnisvolle Schauplätze der Welt. Augenzeugen berichten" (=
The Palm Leaves Library and other mysterious places of the world.
Reports by eye-witnesses). It is available, for instance, from
Amazon.de:
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3776618051/qid=1029867062/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_3_1/028-2964308-5974129

I am absolutely sure that these Palm Leaves Libraries are what you
searching for, since they are definitely unique. No such collections
of scriptures predicting individual destinies are known to exist
anywhere in the Arabian world.
