அன்புள்ள ஷண்முகம் அவர்களுக்கு,
வணக்கம். தங்களிடம் இருக்கும் அகத்திய பெருமான் அழகை என்னவென்று வர்ணிப்பது. ( I felt love in that statue) நானும் நம் நாட்டில் எத்தனயோ கோவில்களுக்கு சென்று உள்ளேன். இப்படி ஒரு அழகிய உருவ சிலயை நான் பார்த்திருக்கவில்லை என்றே நினைக்கிறேன். அதுவும் வெறும் மல்லிகை மலர் மட்டும் சாத்தி உள்ள போது அகத்திய பெருமான் கொள்ளை அழகு.
If next time i have a chance to go through Malaysia i definitely come and worship the Agthiya peruman at your resident if his grace allows me. Thank you. valli 1 December 2013 22:42
அகத்தியர் கண் விழித்து பார்க்கும் படத்தை என் வீட்டில் மாட்டி வைத்து உள்ளேன். valli17 January 2014 09:00
Happy to see all the pictures. Also very happy to see many publications use the Agasthiyar picture of yours in their books. The statue of Agthiya peruman at your house is soooo pretty i never seen any thing like this in my life. Valli 17 January 2014 08:57
I have been receiving the above mails and comments from a devout devotee of Agathiyar from the USA.
What can I say? All the credit should go to Varadaraj of the Bronze Creative based in Swamimalai.
Varadaraj immediately contacted me by phone agreeing to create this fine statue of Agathiyar when I e-mailed him and twelve others in 2009.
His brother Cheenu traveled to Agasthiyampalli in Vedaranyam to see for himself and photograph images of the existing granite statue of Agathiyar.

Dr. VM Jayapalan has produced an audio CD titled AGATHIYAR THIRUVILAIYADAL in which he narrates the origin of this ancient temple of Agathiyar. The revelation was made during his meditation.
Then the three brothers and their staff started work on the wax model and finally created a masterpiece.

| My family and I went over to meet Varadaraj and thank him personally when he came down to Malaysia to see his clients, as we had not met each other earlier. All the transaction was done by phone and e-mail. |

Varadaraj is currently creating a 23 feet bronze statue of Lord Nataraja. Amazing venture. Jnana Jyothi Amma just returned from having a first-hand look at this masterpiece in the making.

Jnana Jhoti Amma has only this to say of these great sculptors,
"And Finally the SHOWSTOPPERS. VARADHARAJ AND HIS BROTHER CHEENU ..... THE TWO CREATIVE GENIUSES OF 'CREATIVE BRONZE". The Architects/Artists/Sculptors behind the carving and making of Agathiyan at your temple, Shan. "AMAZING GRACE."
"Cheenu narrated to me, as to how he went to Agasthiyapalli, studied the Murthy of Agathiyan there. Sketched it as per the instructions given by you to Varadharaj... AND HOW THEY WENT ABOUT FINISHING AGATHIYAR'S MURTHY WHICH NOW SITS MAJESTICALLY AT YOUR TEMPLE ... AGATHIYAR VANAM."
