When we gain the trust of a guru a bond is cemented that goes beyond births. A guru pleaded to Agathiyar to heal his disciple who had taken birth in the present. Tavayogi who was an old soul came to guide and tutor us. He was with Agathiyar in the past. Agathiyar told Sri Krishna in the Nadi that Krishna had ferried Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyar across the river Kaveri to witness the consecration of the Sivalingam made out of river sand by Agathiyar at the present day Nattadresswarar temple in the past.This is the bond between disciple and guru that goes beyond borders, birth, and time.
If he had been of service ferrying Mataji and numerous others including possibly many of the dignitaries of that era, in this birth Sri Krishna's thought continues to revolve around the welfare of others. As a student he was witness to numerous people come for a Nadi reading in his uncle's home where he was brought up. His uncle used to bring the Nadi readers from India. Later Sri Krishna started translating the Nadi for them. Then he and his wife accompanied and lead those who had the need to do remedies to local destinations and to India. Besides caring for Agathiyar in a temple carrying out his libation regularly he and his wife continued to serve devotees food too. Then their sight shifted to the many going hungry on the streets. They undertook to do street feeding. We learned from them too. Both he and his wife have since then looked for opportunities to serve others. The welfare of others is forever on their minds. Coordinating with the doctors they carried out Medical Camps on the streets too. They started a feeding program at a school for the students with the cooperation of the teachers. Soon they identified the poor and unfortunate living in the flats and gave them groceries and cooked food. When they noticed the amount of leftover food thrown away at weddings and other functions they coordinated with the caterers and the host of these events and collected the extras and redistributed them to the hungry. In times of the pandemic, they being Siddha physicians themselves decided to prepare Siddha herbal preparations to improve one's immune system and are giving them away.
We salute this couple for their untiring efforts in trying to bring aid and food to those suffering. If we are occasional samaritans satisfied in making an occasional donation or feeding others on occasions, they have been doing these at every opportunity available. This has become their purpose in life. May Agathiyar give them the strength and the funds to carry on their programs.
