Asaram Bapu Hand Reading

Asaramji Bapu’s strongly etched lines, well developed mounts and the long thumb with its long first phalange speaks of a strong and willful personality. A person whose strength of personality is augmented by the qualities shown by the long Mercury finger and its developed mount - alertness, tact, intuition and shrewdness. He would also possess excellent
judgement of people, and as the shape of his fingers show, action-orientation and quickness as well. Check out his hand photo here.

As it was not possible for me to confirm whether he writes with his right or left hand I have used my own judgment to come to the conclusion that he is right-handed. He must be because his right hand is far better than the left hand and this shows that he is a self-made man who managed to develop the qualities he believed necessary to fulfill his goals in life. His Headline is remarkably improved, revealing increased concentration and focus (probably due to meditation), and the Lifeline sweeps across the Mount of Venus in the right hand increasing the width of the mount. The Heartline, deep and strong, ends on the Mount of Jupiter in both the hands.

All this shows that not only did Bapuji develop his mental qualities, he reached out to people in a big way as he grew older. His Heartline was always quite good, and the thumb shows compassion and an humanitarian approach in addition.

Bapuji has a short parallel line just above the Heartline, which can be considered a part of the Heartline which is broken off. If it is indeed a broken off Heartline (one cannot be a hundred percent sure unless one sees the actual hand), then according to Johnny Fincham this means that the person often shows a different face to the public. It is a kind of “professional front” that they have, and inner feelings are often disconnected from the outward facade.

One should not jump to the conclusion that this means that the inner personality is a negative one. All it means is that there is some amount of suppression of one's personal needs and deepest feelings. It’s hard to know such people’s deep and inner feelings and at times it could mean that they are themselves struggling to know themselves. Yes, this can mean some element of confusion. This reading is confirmed  by the wide fork on the Headline. The branch rising upwards can mean illogical thinking if emotions are aroused.

To sum up, from the shape of Ashramji Bapu’s hands and fingers one can say that he has an idealistic, imaginative, and philosophical bent of mind. There is a liking for the comforts of life. What makes him a believable guru is that his hands show that he is quite straightforward, not manipulative, not cynical, and does not crave attention.

Note: Seventy-one year old Sant Shri Asaramji Bapu or Bapuji is an Indian Guru. This post is a result of a reader's request and his directing me to some good photos of Asaram Bapu's hands.
