The blind gets God’s Darshan. Yes, the Jeeva Nadi Guru writes in NADI SOLLUM KATHAIGAL about how the most compassionate father, Agathiyar arranges for a blind lad to see God.
A 22-year-old lad walked all the way from Karnataka to Chennai, to seek Agathiyar’s blessing to make a pilgrimage to Nepal, Badrinath, Muktinath and bathe in the holy waters. Agathiyar blessed him mentioning that all that he wished for will materialize. Agathiyar added that exactly 45 days from then he would receive a flute. He shall learn to play the flute and with Goddess Saraswathi’s blessing, he will master the flute and make living playing tunes. After a year he shall have sufficient funds to take the train to fulfill his wishes. Agathiyar added that he will receive God's Darshan on the banks of the Kandagi river in Nepal in the early morning hours of a Thursday. Agathiyar assured him that he will be with him. After the Darshan, his life will change for good.
After 2 years 4 months, the lad came back to the Jeeva Nadi Guru. He reveals what had taken place during that time. While sleeping on the platform a young girl woke him up and placed a flute in his hands. She blessed him that he will master the flute in nine days and left immediately. The lad felt the presence of someone guiding him to play the flute. He put much effort into the practice as he was instructed mysteriously. As he was wondering who could be the one guiding him he saw a luminous figure that fitted the description of Agathiyar. The Muni was short with a dark beard, fair skin, a drinking vessel or kamandalam in his hand, and hair tied up neatly. The Muni spoke, mentioning that he was the one who tutored him. The lad believes it was Agathiyar himself. Then he asks the Muni, “Who had given the flute to him?” “Saraswathy,” answered the Muni. The lad said he had never seen the image of Agathiyan or Goddess Saraswathy as he was blind since birth. The lad added that he was blessed to have had the Darshan of God while bathing in the Kandagi river in Nepal.
In another episode from NADI SOLLUM KATHAIGAL, the Siddhas stage a play whereby mankind benefits.
“I make much money but can’t seem to keep some aside. All I earn is spent on medical expenses and purchasing medicine. Only Agathiyar can save my family,” with these words a man stood before Hanumathdasan.
“What are your medical problems,” questions the Jeeva Nadi Guru.
He began listing them out. “My mother’s kidney has failed. My father has diabetes. My eldest son has an eye problem. My daughter has asthma. My third child has a growth on her neck.”
He asked to see Agathiyar’s Jeeva Nadi for a single medicine that would cure all these problems; the medicine should not cost much and be affordable. His request surprised the Jeeva Nadi Guru.
“Could there be a single solution to all these people’s illnesses?”, wondered the Jeeva Nadi Guru.
But the man insisted that Agathiyar would help him as his family worshipped Agathiyar.
When the Jeeva Nadi Guru ask if he had looked into other options like Sidha medicine and astrology, he mentions he had seen them all but yet he could not find a solution and a way out of his karma.
In the Nadi, Agathiyar directs him to Bhogar, Korakar, and Tirumular as they have attained a high level in the medical field.
The man replies that he had seen Korakar’s Nadi. He had done a Yagam with the aid of Tirumular’s chakra. But there was only a slight improvement. These Nadi’s mentioned that all the relevant solutions were in Agathiyar’s Nadi.
He continued with another request, but his request astonished the Jeeva Nadi Guru. He said his aunt has had one of her breasts removed due to cancer and wanted Agathiyar to replace it. Seeing that his request had angered the Jeeva Nadi Guru, he was willing to drop his last requests. But he insisted Agathiyar reveal one medicine for all the illnesses mentioned earlier.
Agathiyar now reveals that the man who stood before the Jeeva Nadi Guru was Kollimalai Siddhan. Agathiyan reveals that Kollimalai Siddhan and he go back five generations. He had been under Agathiyar’s tutelage learning medicine from him. Agathiyar had made a promise to him in the last birth and he had come to claim it. “I shall reveal 128 herbs to be made as a herbal preparation for the good of mankind. The Jeeva Nadi Guru working with Agathiyar by not disclosing what had been mentioned in the Nadi, instead ask the man to jot down all the names of the herbs. As Agathiyar mentioned the names the man noted it down. Agathiyar mentioned the proportions and how they should be prepared and consumed. Agathiyar mentioned that it was a wonder drug for all illnesses.
The man thanked Agathiyan and asked to be excused for a moment. He left the note and walked out never to return.
When the Jeeva Nadi Guru sought Agathiyar for answers to the weird game that was played before him, Agathiyar replied that this is their play or Thiruvilaiyaadal for the benefit of mankind.
In another episode, Agathiyar seeks the home of a man to relieve him of his miseries.
Agathiyar out of the blues and to the Jeeva Nadi Guru’s surprise instructs the Jeeva Nadi Guru to passed the Jeeva Nadi that was in his possession to one Ramamurthy in Mylapore, Chennai to be kept for three days at his home. There were times in the past where Agathiyar had wanted the Nadi to be placed at certain temples for a short period but never before had he instructed to pass it to another individual. The Jeeva Nadi Guru was instructed to leave for Kabhaleeswarar temple immediately. He was asked to sit at a particular spot and facing a particular direction at the temple. Agathiyar mentioned how to identify Ramamurthy. Just as told Ramamurthy came along. The Jeeva Nadi Guru after confirming it was him passed the Nadi to Ramamurthy. Ramamurthy asked the Jeeva Nadi Guru to read from the Nadi, without any reaction all.
Agathiyar instructed Ramamurthy to keep the Nadi in his prayer room at home for three days and to worship it. He was to conduct a Yagam too. “It is very necessary and has to happen immediately too”, stressed Agathiyar to him with urgency. But Ramamurthy started giving reasons, not to accept the Nadi. “I have to leave for my village,” he started. But Agathiyar replied that he could take it along with him and added that whatever reason he had to leave for his village the job shall take place even without him leaving his home, the same night. Then Ramamurthy said he had accepted to perform a Chandi Homam. Agathiyar spells out the Chandi Homam Ramamurthy had planned to hold at his home would not take place. After a moment of thought, Ramamurthy started giving more excuses. He had a mother who was battling with life and a daughter who had separated from the husband at his home. He had a son who disliked him performing Homam at home. His son was also an atheist and he feared that his son might destroy the Nadi. Agathiyar refused to speak through the Nadi any further. The Jeeva Nadi Guru forcefully handed the Nadi to the priest. The Jeeva Nadi Guru was wandering why Agathiyar had wanted to pass the Nadi to Ramamurthy, a difficult character in the first place. The Jeeva Nadi Guru arranged to meet him at the same spot in three days' time. Ramamurthy reluctantly took the Nadi with him.
Although disappointed that he had to part with the Nadi and then to someone like Ramamurthy who did not appreciate or value the Jeeva Nadi, the Jeeva Nadi Guru reassured himself that there was always a reason behind Agathiyar’s doings.
Now that the Nadi was not with him, the Jeeva Nadi Guru decided to leave for Tirupathi. There he accidentally met Ramamurthy. Ramamurthy on seeing the Jeeva Nadi Guru fell at his feet.
Ramamurthy, after gathering himself and composing himself, reveals that if it was not for Agathiyar’s Nadi he would not be alive that day. Ramamurthy goes on to explain that he had come to Tirupathi by car to perform the Kalyana Ursavam as atonement for his daughter who was separated. The car he traveled in burst into flames, after one of the tire bursts and the car went out of control, hitting light posts. By Agathiyar’s grace, his family survived the crash and flames. They managed to perform the Kalyana Ursavam and were on their way out. He had performed the Chandi Homam before leaving for Tirupathi and again at that moment of conducting the Homam a fire broke out due to a short circuit and the wires caught fire. But again Agathiyar saved the day.
On the third day as arranged the Jeeva Nadi Guru was back at the Kabhaleeswarar temple to collect the Nadi from Ramamurthy. With Ramamurthy was his 40-year-old son, Manikanden. His son was a loafer but there was a drastic change in him, mentions Ramamurthy. Ramamurthy reveled at the doings of Agathiyar. Ramamurthy wept in joy saying that he and his family were indebted to Agathiyar. Only today he saw the light of the day after having suffered for the past 40 years. His mother who was bedridden could now walk. Manikanden fell at the Jeeva Nadi Guru’s feet and professed that from that moment onwards Agathiyar was his guru.
The Jeeva Nadi Guru had so many questions that Agathiyar had to answer. He read the Nadi at that spot.
Agathiyar reveals that Ramamurthy was his devotee in the last birth. He had done much service to Agathiyar, but due to his past karma, he had taken this birth and had gone through hell. Although faced with all kinds of torture and sufferings yet he kept chanting Lord Shiva’s mantra. Agathiyar reveals that he had been at Ramamurthy’s home chanting so that Ramamurthy’s mother should live longer. Lord Dhanvantri submitted to Agathiyar’s plea and his mother shall leave another 14 years to a ripe old age, disclosed Agathiyar.
Agathiyar adds that this was the first time he (Agathiyar) had gone to the home of a mortal to chant and seek that their lifespan should be extended. Agathiyar says she deserves it for she had prayed hard. Fate had planned that Ramamurthy should lose his life while on the way to perform the Kalyana Ursavam. Agathiyar had to step in, otherwise, the Jeeva Nadi would have been lost forever. Agathiyar went further to reveal that he had brought the very much sought out change in Ramamurthy’s son too. Agathiyar worked on Ramamurthy son- in- law too. “He will be a changed person in three months' time,” assured Agathiyar.
Agathiyar assures in the Nadi that in the future he (Agathiyar) will settle in many homes and help humanity.
