SOULS WHO CAME BY IN MY LIFE - 3

The reason I moved on to start another blog Siddha Heartbeat 2.0 was that there began to appear a lot of anomalies or inconsistencies in my writings on this original blog, which covered a part (since Sunday, 28 July 2013) of my journey of 20 years (2002 to 2022) on the path of the Siddhas. I did not want readers to become confused and question why observations made in the earlier posts defer with the latest. A reader had questioned me in my earlier days of writing this blog as to why I had deferred on the subject of karma. The young student had written to me in 2015, having followed my posts,

"saw ur blog when i searched "siddha heartbeat charity". charitable thoughts come only when u have done good deeds. what does  that "only" mean? i thought we could reduce our karma by helping others...i thought it was voluntary. does agathiar mean that u r fated to do charity?"

On another note, she wrote, 

"did agasthiar himself say that one is fated to read the nadi. if it is so then u r fated to change your fate. in short fate rules. this cant be right. and also in another writing on ur blog u mentioned that agasthiar told that 3 peoples karma was dissolved. and they would go to a temple as per fate. how is fate prevalent even after karma is dissolved? i m asking these questions with a sincere approach and humbly to know more about the siddhas. please reply dad."
"i would like to ask in which nadi reading has agathiar mentioned that he has taken birth many times?( i was reading age of siddhas 2)is it d same one where he said that he and ramalingam adigal r one? what was the wording? was it 'me and ramalingam are one' or ' i took birth as ramalingam adigal'?i mean when he said we r one he might mean that they are of same type...both in the form of light."
"i emailed tavayogi ji and asked him some doubts. he clarified and i think there should be an article on siddha heartbeat on these topics. he explianed that god is nothing but nature. god is not a person at all but just nature. and hence we are also part of him. thus none of shiva brahma or vishnu are god but all three are parts of god. this is what he told me...and this knowledge should be availble for all. it wud b grt if u could write a article on this.he also said that when agathiar says that we all are one it means that we all are of the same type...aathmas. it does not mean that we are one soul...but it means that we r all souls...same in all aspects." 

She eventually came around to understanding many things and dropped in a note.

"thank you...it was lovely conversing with tavayogi ji by email and also on phone. u have been forever supporting...cant thank u enough. thanks agasthiar also. wherever he is i know he is listening to me. i started with confusion and ended in bliss. it was a tough journey but the end couldnt be more perfect. thanks for writing ur wonderful blog and for replying to my every mail and comment. i know i have been very rude sometimes...and i am extremely sorry for it. my best wishes with u n anyone and everyone related to kallar ashram AVM and siddhas. i will pray for everyone always. thanks for the 24 min short potri. it worked! ...immediately. i listen to the moola mantra everyday on youtube. it is pacyfying and beautiful. u may not reply to this mail....as i know u r forever by my side. and i have agathiar standing behind me to catch me if i fall..thank u again."

Indeed someone had questioned Osho too as to why he said something earlier and was saying something else now. Ramana too had praised music to someone who performed before him and asked another to do something useful with his life rather than taking up music. Tavayogi too had explained the need to handle oneself with care and control if he was to carry the sacred Rudraksha on his body but soon turned to me and said "We do not need this, son." Why the difference in approach to each soul?

As a result, though I was very careful not to confuse readers I had to deliver the numerous messages that came across regarding even my earlier understanding of things and happenings. I pointed this out as a message in the cross-column HTML/JavaScript that was carried on each post. This message was only visible to readers viewing the web version and not the mobile version though.

We have moved. Please do follow us at Siddha Heartbeat 2.0. at https://gnanakottam.blogspot.com henceforth. As we step into the twentieth year of worship on the path of the Siddhas, we have had new insights, perspectives and understanding of many subjects taught and followed by the Siddhas. Our understanding, approach, practices, and even the tools have changed. Much of what was written at the beginning of this blog, except for the biographies, has been corrected, modified, enhanced, or made to drop by Agathiyar. Looking at the readership pattern, very few readers follow the current postings, keeping up to date with these changes. Many readers go back to review previous postings, or new readers might have dropped in on these past postings in their search for answers on the net. I fear that they then shall read and understand, and believe and adopt that as the gists and substance of the matter when it has gone through many changes. Hence there is a need to bury the earlier and past understanding and arise anew. This blog shall be public for a couple of days before it goes into oblivion. We shall continue the journey with Siddha Heartbeat 2.0. Thank you for following us all these years. Please do follow us at Siddha Heartbeat 2.0. at https://gnanakottam.blogspot.com henceforth.

This is a journey of evolution. Concepts, thoughts, ideas, knowledge, learning, practice, etc change over time as we gain more experiences on this journey. Much of what we had upheld earlier has been shattered by both Tavayogi and Agathiyar over time. Concepts do not hold water. Experiences wash away all the illusion that we have come to build around us over time. This is the time I believe Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal should be around in the physical form for me to check and verify the numerous changes both in thought and the body that is taking place. I really need him now. But though he is not with us in the physical form he comes through others to convey his messages regularly. So do Agathiyar and the other Siddhas too, not excluding the pantheon of Hindu Gods. It has been an exciting journey to this day. 

When Kalaichelvan dropped by at my home, AVM recently after the numerous lockdowns that disabled us to come together, he told me that he had observed that I had started Siddha Heartbeat 2.0 now. I went on to explain the reason as mentioned above. But he told me something that made me realize that though we have come some distance there are many who need to start somewhere. Hence the need for readers to read the earlier posts too. It made sense to me. 

There is no shortcut on this path. Each and everyone has to go through the regime of Soul advancement. We have to learn from our experiences. We have to get soiled and dirty. We have to burn ourselves. We have to make enemies. We have to make friends too. All these will make us mature and wise person. This is what Ramalinga Adigal told me that even the bitter experiences will bring on Gnanam or Jnana in us and asked that we bear with it.

So I shall take Kalaichelvan's word as that of Agathiyar and stay with this blog, the original. I shall bring in the several posts that I had aired on Siddha Heartbeat 2.0 and continue henceforth posting on both blogs.
