While attending to their life of a turavi or monk, Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal and Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyaar find time to venture out of their hermitage or Ashram the Sri Agathiyar Gnana Peedham at Kallar to officiate functions related to Agathiyar and the Siddhas.
Tavayogi's life has revolved around Agathiyar from the very beginning. Tavayogi began to heed the instructions and revelations that came through the Nadi in the beginning. Initially Tavayogi made a transcribe of his Nadi, read by Nadi Gurus Ramesh and Senthilkumar. Today Tavayogi has the much respected and worshiped oracle or Jeeva Nadi in his possession where he reads and delivers Agathiyar's words. Blessed are those who have had the opportunity to seek out this Nadi.
Tavayogi after traveling the length and breadth of India was instructed by Agathiyar to seek out a place known as Agathiyar Vanam and set up camp. This place happened to be close to his hometown of Tirupur, and is the present day site of the Kallar Ashram.
Tavayogi did charity with funds and donations from the public, feeding the poor, the natives, and guests who arrived at his Ashram over the years. Sarojini, now a mendicant too and known as Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyaar, chanced to meet Tavayogi and was directed to seek the grace of his (Tavayogi) guru Chitramuthu Adigal. Hence began a beautiful relationship between the guru and disciple.
Tavayogi was instructed to go over to Malaysia in 2004 and reached out to devotees seeking Agathiyar's grace. Subsequently in 2005 and the years to come, Tavayogi made many trips to Malaysia and the neighboring countries, holding satsangam and preaching the teachings of the Siddhas. Tavayogi initiated many into the path of the Siddhas then. He officiated many branches of his Ashram in Malaysia.
Tavayogi spearheaded the First World Conference of Siddha Philosophy with Appana Nagappan in Malaysia in 2007. The Second World Conference of Siddha Philosophy was held closer to his home in Chennai. Mataji joined Tavayogi in his field trips abroad and began to gather a small following too.
Today many turn up at his Ashram doors seeking advise, guidance, his grace, his blessings and some words of motivation. Others come hoping to receive a mantra, a practice, and spiritual guidance. Today people come in droves to seek out the Jeeva Nadi and hear from Agathiyar too.
Tavayogi was instructed to perform the lighting of the sacrificial fire or yagam too, some time back. This was done during full moons. The pinnacle of all these rituals and celebrations is the Sarva Dosa Nivarana Maha Yagam held in conjunction with the Annual Agathiyar Jayanthi and Guru Puja celebrations. What started in the confines of his Ashram was extended to the grounds at the foot of his Ashram, with 5 pits lighted. Later Agathiyar instructed Tavayogi to conduct 108 fire pits giving devotees the opportunity to sit and conduct these rituals personally.
Tavayogi and Mataji have come a long way and have had made a strong impact on the public, what with there talent as orators and their vast exposure while they were engaged as chairpersons in Pattimandrams throughout India.
Just a couple of days ago both Tavayogi and Mataji had attended 2 functions, photos made available at their website Sri Agathiar Gnana Peedam at https://plus.google.com/u/0/104361595013399603423/photos, http://www.agathiarkallar.org/, https://www.flickr.com/photos/50976763@N08/
