Namaskaar all,
Many people have an extra pinky (little finger) which is really an
appendage of no use and literally hanging by a thread.
Now old timers may remember an astrologer/palmist named Cyrus
Abayakoon from Sri Lanka called this finger as vishwa and read it as
the possessor to acheive great success in transport business.

I have come across one palm having this and the person then a child went into the Transport business in adulthood.
if anyone can confirm or refute this i would be glad.

Dear Friend,

Extra finger I have never seen but yes extra thumb I have seen quite a few people have it and according to Cheiro it means such a person is too intelligent and likelihood of him becoming a criminal. But again no confirmation of this as such person is living nearby and I know him well.

So whatever one write need not be conclusive. That person might have observed it to be correct. I have not done so.

Thank you Pravin ji for your inputs.
Cyrus Abayakoon was a very respected figure worldwide for his knowledge of Palmistry and Astrology. He was the brother of one of the past prime minister of Sri Lanka. What he wrote in his book is not his personal observation but knowledge from tradition passed on from generation to generation, a small part of which he was kind enough to reveal.
There are many people with extra fingers, infact there is a whole family in India who have six fingers in all the limbs.

Here specifically it relate to a extra little finger, it is not well formed and it is connected to the palm by thin skin and it hangs by the side. Many people do have this and when i was a kid i had seen atleast three to four palms like this. Nowadays the parents of such kids may be resorting to surgery and get it removed and hence it is rare.

Regards extra thumb, the best known palm is of the film star Hrithik Roshan.

I know a person who has an extra finger on both is hands.

Namaskaar Vishwas ji,
There is a connection to genetics i think. It is a mutation and nature may be thinking of trying somrthing new.
Five fingers are connected to the five tatvas in Swara shastra and also in puja rituals.
The four fingers (the thumb here represents the soul) rule the four purushartha inhuman life.
Ring finger -Dharma
Middle finger-Artha
Little finger -kama
Index finfer -moksha

thanks

for now,
