When not much was known about Sri Jeganatha Swamigal except to those few around Tapah town in the state of Perak, Malaysia it took Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal of Kallar Ashram, Kovai, Tamilnadu to come to our shores in 2007 and tell us about the history of Sri Jeganatha Swamigal. After roaming the length and breadth of India, Tavayogi wanted to go into samadhi. But Agathiyar had told him to come over to Malaysia where many were yearning to know the Siddha path. Tavayogi chose to speak about his Paramaguru Sri Jeganatha Swamigal in a venue dedicated to his guru Chitramuthu Adigal, the Arul Oli Mantram in Ipoh. We took the opportunity to record the revelation. It came as a gift to us for we came to know our guru lineage better.
Several years later we were privileged to conduct puja and Yagam at Sri Jeganatha Swamigal's samadhi temple lead by Tavayogi and Mataji on their visit to Malaysia in 2016.
We were later blessed to conduct another puja and yagam in the Murugan temple at Tanneermalai or the Taiping waterfalls lead by Tavayogi and Mataji on this visit of theirs to Malaysia in 2016. This was a special occasion as we learned from Agathiyar in a reading for a devotee of his and someone from the AVM family from the Jeeva Nadi in possession of Tavayogi where Agathiyar passed on the message from Chitramuthu Adigal requesting us to carry out a Siddhar Puja at the temple grounds. We were elated to be given such a humongous task and a privilege to carry it out. We soon made plans and executed the puja to the satisfaction of our gurus.
My friend sent me a link that shows an attempt by certain devotees of Sri Sargurunathar to trace his life history and document them. It is truly a commendable effort in documenting this great saint's life. My family and I were blessed to be brought to a couple of his ashram in Ooty by Tavayogi and Mataji when we visited the Kallar Ashram in 2013.
Let us watch the episodes together now.

Siddha Heartbeat takes this opportunity to congratulate the producers of the series on YouTube tracing the life and times of Sri Sargurunathar. It is indeed a very commendable effort in bringing this saint before our eyes which we appreciate much.
