Both palms, not just one
In this tradition the non-dominant hand shows what you came in with, and the dominant hand shows what you have made of it. The difference between them is where the reading lives.
By request · Prepared in Rishikesh
Palm Reading
Send a clear photo of both palms. Receive a personal reading on your temperament, your energy, and the patterns your hands have been quietly keeping.
American Baba was born and trained in the ashrams of Rishikesh, where palmistry sits beside yoga and meditation as a way of reading the body. He reads hands the way he was taught: slowly, plainly, and without fear.

Your hands have been paying attention.
A hand records how a person has actually lived. Not the version they describe, the version they have been carrying. You can see it in the grip, in the set of the thumb, in how much tension a palm holds when it is supposedly at rest.
Palmistry is not a prediction machine. Read honestly, it is closer to observation: here is your natural temperament, here is where you have been pushing against it, and here is the cost that shows.
Most people already suspect what a reading tells them. Hearing it said clearly is what makes it useful.
How to photograph your palms
A good photo takes a minute and makes the whole reading better.
Daylight, no flash
Stand near a window. Flash flattens the hand and washes out the finer lines, which are usually the interesting ones.
Hand relaxed and slightly cupped
Do not stretch the palm flat. A naturally relaxed hand keeps the lines at their true depth.
Fill the frame, keep it sharp
Wrist to fingertips, in focus. If you can read the small creases on your screen, the photo is good enough.
What the reading covers
Plain language, no jargon you have to look up afterwards.
The shape before the lines
Hand shape, finger length, and the set of the thumb say more about temperament than any single line does. This is where a reading starts.
Head, heart, and life lines
How you think, how you attach, and how your vitality moves through a day. Read together, not as three separate fortunes.
Where the strain shows
Hands carry tension honestly. Stress lines, a guarded heart line, or a restless mind tend to be visible before you would admit them out loud.
A practice to match
Every reading ends with something practical: a breath, a sit, or a small daily discipline suited to the hand in front of him.

What American Baba will not do
- No fear, no remedies for sale. You will never be told that something terrible is coming unless you buy a stone, a ritual, or a package. That is not palmistry, it is a business model.
- No lifespan from a life line. The life line speaks to vitality and constitution, never to how long you have. Nobody can read that from a hand.
- No readings of other people's hands without their knowledge. Send your own palms. Someone else's hand is theirs to share.
- No substitute for medical or legal advice. If you are unwell or in crisis, please speak to a doctor or a qualified professional. A reading sits alongside that, never in place of it.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you enquire
How much does a palm reading cost?
Pricing depends on the depth of the reading, so it is quoted when you enquire rather than published here. Message on WhatsApp or use the form and you will be told the cost before anything begins. All fees and donations fund our scholarship program.
Which hand should I send?
Both. The non-dominant hand shows what you were born with and the dominant hand shows what you have shaped since. Reading only one gives you half the picture, so send a clear photo of each.
How do I take a good palm photo?
Stand near a window in daylight, turn the flash off, relax the hand into a slight natural cup, and fill the frame from wrist to fingertips. If the small creases are readable on your own screen, the photo is good enough.
How long does a reading take to come back?
Usually 3–5 days once you have gone ahead. Readings are prepared one at a time from the ashram in Rishikesh, so busy weeks run a little longer. You will not be forgotten.
Can my palm tell me how long I will live?
No, and be careful with anyone who says otherwise. The life line describes vitality and constitution, not a length of time. American Baba does not give death dates or fixed predictions of any kind.
Do the lines on my hand change?
The major lines stay broadly stable, but the finer ones do shift over years as your habits, stress, and health change. People who send new photos after a long gap often see the difference themselves.
What happens to my photos?
They are used for your reading and nothing else. Your palm photos are not published, sold, or shared, and you can ask for them to be deleted at any time.
Is anything on the site free?
Yes. The live yoga and meditation classes on YouTube are free to everyone, with no signup and no fee. The palm and astrology readings are personal work prepared by hand, so those are paid.
