This is said to be the Gnana Siddhar Kaalam or the Age of the Siddhas. I am glad my family and I have stumbled on this path. I am glad we have managed to hold on this long. I am waiting for the Siddhas to unfold more about the past as well as the future. In all the 49 Nadi readings that I have had to date, Agathiyar has constantly been reminding me to conduct prayers. He says the libation, the fire rituals and prayers we conduct is done for the benefit of humanity itself and thus exalts the position and reasons for engaging in these rituals. Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigalaar runs a mission for the sole purpose of propagating the message of the Siddhas to all.
I have had the opportunity to meet and learn from Tavayogi. Prayers to Siddhas are very simple in nature. One only needs to chant the names of the numerous Siddhas, Rishis and Munis. This is the Maha Mantra itself, says Agathiyar. As one progresses he is given other mantras too according to his temperament and sincerity. He is also given certain rituals to follow. He is asked to carry out certain practices diligently. Slowly and surely the Siddhas guide the aspirant on this path.
The other thing that the Siddhas stressed is to do charity, especially to feed the poor and unfortunate. All this while we were told to do charity which will remove our Karma, but Agathiyar in his revelation to Dr VM Jayapalan goes further to reveal that the Karma of the ones fed will also by removed simultaneously. I have come to realize the magnitude of the benefits gained by performing this act known as Annadanam. Ramalinga Adigal had specifically built the Sathya Dharma Salai in Vadalur where he could carry out this act of feeding people. This is been done till the present day. Thavathiru Rengaraja Desigar has followed in Ramalinga Adigal's footsteps carrying out this generous act in a large scale at his Agathiyar Sanmarga Sangam at Ongkarakudil.
Lets walk the path of the Siddhas. Lets bring our children into it. Lets bring them while they are still young. Lets bring our family and friends too on this beautiful journey.
