AGATHIYAR VANAM - The Next Phase


Many come to the path of devotion and worship of the Siddhas for their own gains, be it to pray that their wishes are granted, to seek material profits, to seek promotions in career developments, to pass examinations, to be healed, to be relieved of their sufferings, etc. They leave only to return again when faced with similar needs or troubles. They use the Siddhas as Automated Teller Machines (ATM).

Then there are those who seek peace, calm, and salvation for themselves not even turning to take a glance at the person next door or next to him. Agathiyar asked us a couple of days ago if the Siddhas had adopted this attitude what would have become of mankind and these souls. The Siddhas served humanity through their teachings which were exemplary practices that they adopted, tested, and verified before handing over to man.

There were some who came by AVM in its heydays to sell certain ideas but as we did not buy them for certain reasons they moved on to others establishments. What they should have done if at all they had the interest of Agathiyar at heart is to start something on their own and implement those ideas rather than waiting for someone else to execute them just as I moved on to start worship on my own, and sharing videos and writings on the many websites I hosted back then when existing establishments gave me the cold shoulder. Today Agathiyar and Tavayogi look up to AVM as a role model and have requested that other homes too use the blueprint drawn and adopted at AVM. It is an honor indeed for us to play a part. 

He tells us the reason he broke the union of onlookers, seekers, aspirants and devotees at AVM was to get them to stand on their feet and stop their dependency on AVM as was the case at other centers, movements, associations, and establishments. Agathiyar, Tavayogi, my wife, and I too wanted them to bring the worship into their homes rather than be dependent on AVM. The pandemic was a favorable time to execute home puja as our movements were restricted then. Even places of worship, ashrams, and centers were closed to the public then. I wonder how many did use this time to practice what they had picked up at AVM. As for me, Agathiyar had me stay home and go within giving certain practices to aid the process. 

Today after having led us on worship, charity, and yoga, Agathiyar, and Tavayogi have tasked us to give back to society and share what we had learned. They want each home to become an Agathiyar Vanam. To understand what needs to be done we have to revisit what took place in the early days of my worship to the Siddhas at home and how the home of a family man became Agathiyar Vanam. This would give others an idea of where to start. Hence the only reason I am sharing the Nadi readings that were a source of guidance and endorsement from the Siddhas that I was on the right track.
