Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal told me many years ago that he would be conducting a massive Yagam to subdue the wrath of mother nature who was playing havoc, retaliating to the blunder and damage to the balance and ecosystem by certain quarters all around the world and as a result the public were in great danger in certain places.
Tavayogi who had all the while been celebrating the official opening of his peedham on an annual basis, then chose to celebrate Agathiyar's Jayanthi and Guru Puja celebrations. He included the ritual of lighting 5 sacrificial fire pits and this became the highlight of the two day celebration.
Later Agathiyar instructed him to conduct the Sarva Dosa Nivaarana Maha Yagam where individuals could participate too and gain numerous benefits that included among others, the Yagam would help remove their misfortunes, cure their illness and bring greater fortunes.
Tavayogi has faithfully been carrying out this event without fail and this year it falls on 18 December 2016. Even before the event commences, the devotees at Kallar Ashram begin to gather the much needed muligai or medicinal plants that are placed in the sacrificial fire. These are gathered in the nearby woods and dried before they are placed in the fire to be consumed by the flames. The fumes from the Yagam is inhaled to bring relieve to all illnesses.
Agathiyar has mentioned the auspiciousness of participating in this event in the Jeeva Nadi reading at Kallar and also in my Nadi readings.
This year the Kallar devotees will head for the surrounding hills of Kallar and the hills of Othimalai to gather the wood, stick and plants under the guidance of Siddha Dr Ram Subramaniam of Thirunelvezhi. Devotees and volunteers can join them on on October 9 and 16.
