AGATHIYAR AT AVM

When I read the Nadi for the very first time in 2002, Agathiyar asked me to come to his marga or path. Later in 2009 he directs me, again through the Nadi, to have his image in bronze made and worshipped at my home before he moves to the Jegathguru Sri Raghavendra Mrithiga Brindavan in Ipoh which was in the preliminary process of procuring a state land back then.

Agathiyar stipulated that his image should be a replica of the granite murthy at Agasthiyampalli, Vedharanyam. Although he gave me other specific instructions too like: the component; his height; the place he was to be cast that was Swamimalai; the period that the work should start; and the rituals to be adhered before he finally sets foot on our shores, but surprisingly neither did he mention why we should follow his image as in Agasthiyampalli and not any other temple; nor did he mention why he was to be cast in Swamimalai and not somewhere else.

I got to fulfill his wish and his idol was delivered on 2 January 2010. Over the years of worship to Agathiyar at AVM, he became fond of us I guess as one fine day he revealed the reasons why he decided not to move to the Brindavan but instead stay put at AVM.

In the latest Nadi reading for Surendaran Selvaratnam just days after the Kallar Vizha, Agathiyar answers the first question - why a replica of him at Agasthiyampalli!

As we made his statue in Swamimalai on his directive, the second question - why Swamimalai - was answered through a Nadi reading for Jnana Jyothi Amma some time back. Agathiyar revealed why the statues made in Swamimalai are revered and held in high esteem.

Listen to a compilation of these various Nadi readings, beginning from the blessings, from the very start of AVM Agathiyar taking shape till the last reading.


Agathiyar says Swamimalai is the place to come to rid of man's daily problems and worries. His atma will be purified here. Agathiyar's statues from the banks of Cauvery in Tanjai (Swamimalai), with the blessings and wishes of Lord Muruga from Swamimalai, will reach far and wide. This is the wish of Lobhama too. 

Agathiyar will perform miracles in and through this murthy, one of it being, opening his eyes to see his devotees. This murthy will find its way into the hearts of devotees. This miracle will forever be remembered.

Agathiyar's murthy at AVM is that of Agathiyar in a blissful state, similar to that at the time of receiving both Lord Shiva and Parvathi's darshan of their wedding, given at Agasthiyampalli. Although he sits alone in tapas at AVM, Agathiyar says that he represents Shiva and Parvathi. Devotees will be overjoyed and in tears on seeing him.
