THE VISIT

Has the good Lord visited your home? Ramalinga Adigal in 100 verses describes this moment where Erai came to his place of residence in the dead of night, walking till his Holy sole were red and sore and passed him something in his hands. Adigal does not reveal what he received.

Follow this wonderful moment in Adigal's words composed as the "Arutprakaasa Maalai from his Thiruarutpa at http://www.thiruarutpa.org/thirumurai/v/T225/tm/arutpirakaasa_maalai and http://www.thiruarutpa.org/thirumurai/v/T225/romanized1/arutpirakaasa_maalai

I wanted to know who came and gave him what to Adigal for years? Finally I came to know who it was and what was given to Adigal. I was extremely happy for the revelation.

Tavayogi too had a visitor come in the early hours of the morning just days before Agathiyar's Jayanthi and Guru Puja at the old Kallar Ashram. A sadhu stood at his door as he opened it that morning to go to the washroom. He had a package in his hands. He passed it to him, asking Tavayogi to worship it. Tavayogi invited him to have a sit while he began to prepare tea for the visitor. When he came out of the kitchen with the tea in his hands, the stranger was no where to be seen. He searched the premises and realized that the sadhu had made his way to his door through a gate that was locked for the night.  

Many years later the sadhu appeared again and passed him another Rudraksha to be worshiped.

Supramania Swami too had his Guru Yogi Ramsuratkumar knock the door to his village home at 11pm in the night and hand him his photo. His Guru had already gone into samadhi.

Many are the miracles that Agathiyar has shown to believers. As Agathiyar says, man needs something to take place first before he believes; but the Siddhas say believe and it shall happen. 

Supramaniya Aiyar, who came to be known as Abhirami Pattar later, while sitting in meditation is asked to clear the temple grounds for the exclusive visit of the King to the temple. When the King's soldiers forcefully try to remove him, the King arrives. The King intervenes and questions him asking Pattar the Tithi for the day. Pattar still in meditation replies that it was a full moon. Everyone is taken aback as it was a new moon. When Pattar comes out of his deep meditation and realizes what had taken place he confronts the Goddess and prepares himself to be sacrificed in a fire, unless she appears. The moon does appear and Pattar is grateful for the miracle that Mother Goddess had performed for all to see.
