The Siddha Path was created as they began their walk, exploring and learning, practicing and experiencing, the traits of life and its association with nature and their surroundings. What they realized was documented and passed on to close ones and came within the reach of society later. Over the years the path was cemented, and defined, and blueprints and handouts were given. It was not to be the case. Each traveler shall discover, learn, and experience for himself. Agathiyar tells us that only the means and methods that were tested and proven were passed on to us to kickstart and jumpstart our journey. But we are given the liberty to test, modify, and enhance its beauty. We are given the freedom to work on it further just like how the Siddhas freely change fate and destiny and create miracles.
We are special in the eyes of Agathiyar. When the public holds on to some opinion or negative perceptions, presents case histories or stories that they had heard and read or experienced to support their theories, and tries to stuff them onto us, instilling worries and fear in us, be assured that Agathiyar would not desert us. We are special to him. All the above said might have taken place to others but not us. Even if it happens to us Agathiyar would be there to change the outcome and make it favorable to us. We are special to him.
When a Chinese lady walked crying into the room of a Nadi reader telling us that she was facing immense pressure and torture from an individual at the office, Agathiyar asked her for a grace period of 10 days to solve her problem. He did it in three days. She was special.
Though a devotee had to wait some seven hours in the emergency room in a government hospital, and her son was angry, fuming, and making a fuss, once she was warded, everything took place in a jiffy. She was operated on and a stent was placed in her overnight. She was special indeed.
When my wife was waiting to be brought to another hospital over a weekend many years back to have her gall bladder removed, the waiting that could easily take some 10 days according to those already waiting in line, was cut short to three days by the timely intervention of a senior doctor. She was special.
When my daughter had an open fracture of her right leg after a road accident many years ago, the events that unfolded were all Agathiyar's doing. The doctor at the emergency room suggested letting nature do the healing as she was only twenty then. Upon asking that she return as soon as possible to complete her internship, listening to our plea he suggested placing an external fixator that should have her back on her feet within weeks. But another senior doctor who came on his rounds at the wards called both me and my wife and asked us to reconsider our request. He agreed with the earlier doctor who had originally suggested letting nature do its work. But after four months as there was no new cell growth, another doctor told us that he had to place a titanium plate. But by the grace of Agathiyar, he also suggested another alternative that can be performed under local anesthetic, ACP that "provides efficient concentration of platelets and growth factors from platelet-rich plasma for use at the patient’s point of care." We opted for the second. (Source:https://www.colliersportsmedicine.com). We were overjoyed to see new cell growth within days. She was special.
When my other daughter was diagnosed as having retina detachment in a private eye care center, the doctor immediately referred us to specialists in a government hospital. She was immediately operated on and got to retain her eyesight. She was special.
When she came down with dengue, Agathiyar conveyed a message to us in a Nadi reading that Surendran was having in Chennai telling us that both he and Tirumular were at her bedside and had increased the platelet count. She was special.
Dr Krishnan who charted my horoscope and gave predictions in the nineties told me that I was blessed in the sense that any danger or harm that comes my way would be avoided by the grace of the divine. Instead, if it was karma-related, I would have to see some financial losses. I would rather lose money than life.
In the movie "Finding You" the following is written on a tombstone: "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid. Don't be discouraged." These words ring a bell as it was told to Jnana Jothiamma by Agathiyar in her Nadi reading. As she was worried that she could either be fined, face immediate deportation, or even get banned from entering India as she had overstayed due to her body condition that was going through a drastic transformation within, with the Siddhas monitoring and dispensing and administering Siddha medicine in the confines of her room, how was she to relay this matter to the embassy without a proper medical certificate? Agathiyar seeing her dilemma told her not to worry and that he shall go ahead and await her at the embassy. He kept to his word. Everything was settled amicably and she got to stay. She was special.
Indeed we are all special in his eyes since we are his children. Agathiyar who told us that he was the Prapanjam came within a devotee just days ago. When I asked that she grant others too whatever I have received from her, she hushed me telling me that she shall take care of her children. We are all her children. She knows what is necessary to be done for her children's growth, education and careers, health, and posterity.
We saw Agathiyar's hands in all of these miracles. Now I understand why Tavayogi, brushing away troubles, law suites, sabotage, and dangers was firm in his stand telling us to leave it to Agathiyar.
So when Agathiyar showers his grace on us should not we give back to him? How best can we repay his kindness, compassion, and love? Did he save us and keep saving us each time we call out for him just to go back and do the same kinds of stuff we did in the past? Should not we turn over a new leaf and surrender to his will thenceforth?
