That Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was a great man is all too evident from his hand which is in fact awe-inspiring. The long headline plunging into the Moon Mount is often found on the hands of intellectuals and well known authors and poets. A headline like that can show a high level of intelligence, imagination and brilliance (as in the case of the Dr. Radhakrishnan) but one has to read this sign with caution. The quality and strength of the headline as well as its overall balance
is of critical importance and so is the hand on which this type of headline is found. Brilliance is brilliance only if it exists within the right personality framework and is used to achieve something positive. Brilliance is genius when it is of the cerebral variety and does not restrict itself to a skill, either mental or physical.

Besides the headline, the significant features of Dr. Radhakrishnan’s hand are his dark, well-etched lines on a large palm, well shaped fingers with well balanced finger phalanges, big thumb, strong mounts of Jupiter, Mercury, Moon and the mounts of Upper and Lower Mars. All these signs show personality traits which provide a fertile ground for high intelligence to flourish, and also used in a productive manner.

For one thing, the thumb shows extraordinary will, and the strong heartline, position of the headline and the shape of the fingers show an ethical and humane mindset which will enable the owner to use his qualities for productive work and the betterment of humankind.

Moon adds to the imagination shown by the headline but the strong Mars is equally important as it shows not just persistence in the face of obstacles, but also tremendous mental strength and resistance, a quality absolutely essential with such a strong combination of Moon and the long sloping Headline. Without the Mars qualities and without the strong thumb, the headline and Moon combination can be a danger to the balance of the personality. The fork on the headline is another critical feature of his hand as it lifts the headline from its purely imaginary position to the real world. If it wasn’t for this sign it is unlikely that Dr. Radhakrishnan would have had the qualities of a President, although he might still have had the brilliance of an author.


His hand also has good Sun and Saturn Lines which show the success he achieved. The Sun or Apollo line is remarkable. It starts deep and strong from the life line itself, a sign of success which is the result of one’s own tremendous effort (Dr. Radhakrishnan was born in a poor family and managed to study entirely on academic scholarships and borrowed books). This sign is rarely found and usually shows up on a hand which reveals not just talent and intelligence but also the positive personality traits mentioned above. The Saturn line goes upwards towards the Mount of Jupiter showing that the person is likely to reach an authoritative position in his later years.

(Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888 -1975) was a was an Indian philosopher, statesman and author. He was the first Vice-President of India (1952–1962) and then later the second President of India.)
