ABAYAM (FEAR NOT)


Agathiyan - the most compassionate mother, father, guru and Deivam. Agathiyan the saviour. Agathiyan who dwells in our hearts and thoughts. Come take refuge in Agathiyan. Know that there is a reason for your birth. Know that the your life is determined and dictated by certain factors. Take the hands of Agathiyan. He will put you on the right track. He will educate you on the mysteries of life. He will help you bring changes in your life and those close to you. He will uplift you and all those close to you to a higher, more meaningful and blissful life.

"Fear Not! Fear Not! I am within you my child! Fear Not! I am your guru!I am your father! I am your mother! I am your Deivam!" - Agathiyan

Bringing us to his fold, Agathiyan assures us all shall be fine. Agathiyan grants us his Moola Mantra, a panacea for all sufferings and illnesses through his Nadappu Aasi Nigandu Naadi.



It is said that once a devotee is consumed by the love of Erai or his Guru, he begins to churn out melodies, songs, poems. The bliss in him is translated as melodies and chants. The songs become an expression of his state of joy and bliss. Saints having reached various states of bliss have left behind extensive amounts of songs and literature for their followers and the public to cherish.

In the following traditional song the late Pithukuli Murugados brings to life through his devotion and singing talent this heart-rending melody.


Manikavasagar gave us Lord Shiva's Sivapuranam and many other gems to cherish all life long.



Devaraya Swamigal gave us the classic Kandhar Sasthi Kavasam popularized by the Sulamangalam Sisters.

Arunagiri gave us many compositions including the Kandhar Anubhothi.



Ramalinga Adigal has given us six huge volumes of soul enriching songs covering a wide range of deities and culminating on Arutperunjhoti Andavar.





Kunangkudi Mastaan penned a wonderful song Agathiyar Satagam on Agathiyar seeking his grace.
