AGATHIYAR

Saravanan Palanisamy (சரவணன் பழனிசாமி) drew the following episode from Agathiyar's journey to the south.



In Saravanan Palanisamy's words, "Its the scene where Vinthiya hill was thought a lesson by Agathiyar for its arrogance".

Vindhya was later pardoned and blessed by the ever compassionate Agathiyar, once Vindhya showed remorse and repented for his actions. In Saravanan's depiction of the event, there is compassion in Agathiyar's eyes while Vindhya is full of remorse.

Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal quotes Siddha Bhogar’s SAPTAKANDAM in his book ANDAMUM PINDAMUM as mentioning Agathiyar had lived beyond the four yugas and as such no one can predict his age.


Agathiyar reveals in my nadi that he has indeed taken birth many times to set humanity on the right track. 

Pon. Govindaswamy in his book, SIRSABAIYUM PORSABAIYUM, (Bharath Book Bureau, 1985), mentions that Agathiyar took birth as Valluvar and gave us the TIRUKURAL besides other texts. He mentions too that Agathiyar took birth as Ramalinga Adigal in the 19 century and gave us the TIRUARUTPA.

Geographically, "The Vindhya Range is a range of older rounded mountains and hills in the west-central Indian subcontinent, which geographically separates the Indian subcontinent into northern India (the Indo-Gangetic plain) and Southern India." Source: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
