On the local front, Agathiyar introduced many devotees of his to me. After my maiden visit to India and coming to know Supramania Swami, I used to direct friends and relatives to Swami. Among them was my nephew Thayalan Arumugam and my colleague Muralitharan Saminathan. Through Thayalan, Supramania Swami first mentioned his 40 year dream and wish to build a temple in Tiruvannamalai. Thayalan, his close buddies Maran and Ganeson, my friends Muralitharan Saminathan, Ramachandran, neighbors, my mother and siblings all chipped in to send funds to purchase a land right in the vicinity of Supramania Swami's Guru Yogi Ramsuratkumar's Ashram.
As work was progressing on the foundation of the temple and after a kudil was built for Swami to reside, a Siddha drops by and stops the work! He questions Swami why he was stepping backward into the Bakthi path while he was already in the Jnana path! I realized then that we can never fathom the divine. It was he who came as a spark and a desire in Swami, drove Swami to move towards that direction and finally stops him from carrying it out.
These friends and relatives had also been frequenting my home where we conduct prayers for Agathiyar and the Siddhas. When Agathiyar wanted me to have his bronze statue made in Swamimalai and shipped to Malaysia, he also indicated in the Nadi reading that it was alright and that I could seek financial aid from others towards the cost of having to bring him over to Malaysia. Then I put the word out that donations were welcomed and these very people came to my aid again.
Selvam who is Nadi Guru Ramesh's brother-in-law and also reads the nadi mentioned to me once that there was a blog known as Siththargal Raajiyam at http://www.siththarkal.com/ that carried much information about the Siddhas. As I searched for that blog, that is when I landed at Velayudham Karthikeyan's amazing blog Sitthan Arul at http://siththanarul.blogspot.com/
Karthikeyan has been posting episodes where Agathiyar reveals to the Jeeva Nadi Guru from Chennai why certain things happen in the life's of the seekers who came in search and stood before him for a solution in the Jeeva Nadi. These episodes, 174 to-date are amazing revelations that has given me a deeper understanding of Karma, its cause and effects and how the most compassionate Agathiyar and the Divine work hand in hand to clear all our problems when we repent for our actions and seek their help. Agathiyar has also along the way revealed many mysteries, exposed the significance of rituals, and brought out to the knowledge of the public the importance and significance of certain temples among other.
This reminds me of a particular episode from Sitthan Arul some time back. After listening to the seeker and looking into the Jeeva Nadi, Agathiyar directs the seeker to help out financially a lady in a remote village far far away from where the man was living. The man refused to carry out the directive, questioning Agathiyar's instructions and purpose of helping someone he hardly knew. Agathiyar reveals the reason soon. The lady's son was working overseas and had been crediting money into an account that was to be delivered to his mother for her daily sustenance. The man who was with the bank had been swindling the funds. The money never reached the lady.
There are many such revelations where Agathiyar cautions us not to create more Karma and instructs us wisely on the purpose of taking birth and how to lead a better life.
Karthikeyan's posts in Sitthan Arul has benefited me, and I can strongly say others too, given me a better understanding of the mystery behind life.
I wish to take a moment here to mention that I am grateful to all those who had stayed with me throughout these years and contributed in various ways towards bringing the Siddha path to the knowledge of the public.
