FRUSTRATIONS ARE COMMON

Just as we in the material world seek instant remedies and solutions, we step into the spiritual realm seeking instant progress and results too. But we soon find out that it is not to be so. 

Pattinathar pleaded to Erai, why his assent to his realm was delayed when he saw his disciple Badragiriyar make it earlier than him. The Lord tells him that he has to wait further and that the day the top portion of a sugarcane turns sweet for him, that is the day he will be summoned back to his abode.

Isaikavi Ramanan in the following video explains why the delay has to happen in Pattinathar returning back to the source although he was a Jnani.



Similarly Tavayogi pleads to Agathiyar daily, each time singing Ramalinga Adigal's verses "Indru Varumo Naalaike Varumo?" bringing us all to tears too. Tavayogi who came to Kallar to go into Samadhi at the turn of this century, is pleading to Erai to take him back. But Erai has delayed his assent bringing him to Malaysia and Singapore instead, bringing him to build a temple/ashram complex and perform rituals, the very thing he wanted us to come out of. Agathiyar tells him that he is needed to serve, guide and establish a following, all done for our benefit, the public.

Recently he was invited to speak at the National Seminar on the "Glory of Sidhar Agathiyar and his contribution to Siddha System of Medicine" in Chennai, and on his way back to Kallar stopped over at Panchesti.





Sri Shivagurunatha Desigar explains beautifully and clearly the above verse through the following series of videos.
