Mahindren said that interfaith marriages bring two faiths together. Similarly, the lyricists of the song that begins with "மனமெங்கும் மாய ஊஞ்சல் உனதன்பில் ஆட ஆட" has a dream too to see everyone unite through LOVE - "வெளியெல்லாம் காதலால் நிறைத்தால் அதற்கீடேது சாமி"
Agathiyar had wished that Tavayogi continue to preach the Siddha path, following in his guru Chitramuthu Adigal and Paramaguru Sri Jeganathar's footsteps in Malaysia. Tavayogi to fulfill Agathiyar's wish to carry out this noble task, borrowed money to make his first trip to Malaysia in 2004. I met him the following year at a local affiliate of his Kallar Peedham where he came to officiate. Many years later, in 2016, he stated his joy and pleasure on seeing the many youths gathered that evening as AVM hosted an event "An Evening with Tavayogi", at a senior devotee's home where he was staying during his duration of stay in 2016. He told us that his mission had seen results. Lately Lord Murugan in coming through a devotee, passed on Tavayogi's wish to see each home become Agathiyar Vanam. It was time these youngsters took the puja and rituals that they watched and participated in into their homes and carry on what was done in AVM in the past years. This is how the Margam or path shall grow, where others shall come to know about it too. We never encouraged everyone to gather at AVM, thus shunting their growth. Instead, we wanted them to become independent in terms of their spiritual needs and advancement. At AVM we grew together. There was no guru per se. Agathiyar was our guru after Tavayogi's demise.
I too aspire to see others take up the course and reap the benefits that we have seen on this path. Let it be known that I am not converting anyone through this blog. I am still learning. What I learn I share. I have held the stand that God should be impartial and not be the property of any particular sect. Towards that, I had told Agathiyar that I would drop him if he was to only help only me or those from my faith, religion, or race, or a particular faith, race or religion for that matter. I guess Agathiyar heard my voice for today he has shown us that he was the Prapanjam. Who can lay claim to the Prapanjam? Who can lay claim to Mother Nature? Who can lay claim to the air and water though nations claim the lands, waters, and airways as theirs? Next, would there be battles for Space as we see in the movies?
Agathiyar in proclaiming that he was the Prapanjam moved his statue to another devotee's house. It would be pointless if on one hand, he says he is the Prapanjam and he still stays as a statue at AVM. There are no more puja and rituals for these tie us to an identity. In that tiny room of ours that once was our prayer room, where Agathiyar visited his Vanam or Garden, where Agathiyar sat to meditate in his Tapovanam, where Agathiyar gave discourses and thus brought clarity at his Gnana Kottam shall now have Ramalinga Adigal address in this Gnana Peedham henceforth.
Agathiyar wants us to sit under the sky and the trees and receive the shower of the Prapanjam. He wants us to link directly minus the middlemen, the upagurus and gurus, and minus the tools and methods that at one time helped us reach the state we are in today. He wants us to stand on our legs now. If at some time back he carried us in his womb and later carried us in his arms, and shoulder, and had held our hands and walked along with us, he now wants us to walk alone. Agathiyar like Tavayogi, who stepped aside after introducing us to Agathiyar, has himself stepped aside and shown us to Prapanjam. Ramalinga Adigal held our hands and passed us onto her safe hands. The Prapanjam comes henceforth as the Mouna Guru or the Silent One. We only need to connect and tap into her. Everything is within reach for one who reaches out to her.
