When Agathiyar came yesterday and asked the gathered three women to write about their experiences, I felt it was a call to them to revive their writings and share. My daughters too have begun sharing their thoughts, and experiences with others some time back through their blogs and YouTube channels.
When my elder daughter, having gone through the terror of having to learn to walk again after she had broken her leg in a road accident and was laid for some nine months, she wrote about her experience documenting the painful and trying moments in the pages of her blog at http://berrysweetprincess.blogspot.com/2011/04/caring-malaysians-kindness-helps-ease.html, http://berrysweetprincess.blogspot.com/2011/04/learning-to-walk-again.html, and at http://berrysweetprincess.blogspot.com/2011/04/autologous-conditioned-plasma-acp.html
She has another blog singing the praise of Agathiyar too at https://myindianheartbeat.blogspot.com/
She wrote a letter to the News Straits Times a few weeks after she was discharged from the hospital.
"WHO says Malaysians are not caring? I wish to relate an incident where total strangers came to my aid and where hospital staff performed their duty efficiently.
I met with an accident on the evening of Oct 12 in Seksyen 17 of Shah Alam. I was riding pillion on a motorcycle.
Several passers-by rushed to our aid. My friend suffered bruises while I could not move my leg. These kind people moved me from the road to the pavement and called for an ambulance.
The ambulance arrived, and my friend and I were taken to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang. The doctors and hospital staff attended to us immediately. An X-ray was done and I was told that I had sustained a clean and closed fracture of the tibia and fibula on the right leg. I was warded in Ward 4B.
The specialist on rounds the next day advised a full cast, preferably a fiberglass cast. This was done.
The doctors and staff at Ward 4B took good care of me. When I complained of pain in the heel of the left leg, the doctors arranged to have a foot X-ray done.
I was discharged on Oct 14.
Although it was a painful experience, the doctors and staff made it very much less so by their kindness and good advice.
Just before being discharged, the physiotherapist came over and showed me how to use the crutches correctly. I was also shown the proper way to climb the stairs as I lived in a double-story house.
I would like to thank all the passers-by, of various ethnicities, who came to help my friend and me. I would also like to thank Dr. Thirumal, Dr. Gurjit Singh, Dr. Ahmad Fahmi, Dr. Prakash, Dr Siva, nurse Jivia, Puan Zaleha, and several others whose names I can't recall, all staff on duty at the emergency ward on Oct 12, the doctors and staff at Ward 4B, the physiotherapist and the pharmacist who brought the medicine over to my bed before I was discharged.
I had heard stories about government hospitals being a bad experience, but my experience at this hospital has proved otherwise. And the accident has also shown me how kind Malaysians can be. Thank you, everyone. 2010/10/27"
My second daughter shared her experience on Retinal Detachment on YouTube at https://youtu.be/P3vlCux0Rug?si=-a54oF9vxOK-4Mu3 , having gone through the terror of the possibility of losing her eyesight some time back. She wrote, "I had to get surgery for Retinal Detachment in April 2021. As many people including myself had never heard of this condition, I decided to make a video to shed light on Retinal Detachment and my experience with it."
My brother who is a journalist has shared many good pieces too including his visit to Kasi. Upon his return from India, he wrote a beautiful piece for his paper. His wonderful experience was published on February 9, 2012, in the pull-out section LIFE & TIMES Travel of the New Straits Times daily. (https://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/2014/11/kashi-in-mother-gangas-embrace.html).
He wrote a piece for the paper carrying an interview with Tavayogi too. (https://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/2021/03/reclaiming-lost-websites-3-cittar.html)
He sent a staff to meet me regarding my experience in reading the Nadi and carried a piece on it. (https://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/2015/06/karma-nadi-siddhas-part-2.html)
Sharing is indeed about enlightening others. If the Siddhas share the truth and the experiences in reaching out to God, we can similarly share the greatness of God and how he comes to answer our call in our lives. Others would gain faith and hope to continue living. The immediate family can get to the ground and pray and carry out rituals to help bring positive results to the ongoing medical treatments given and taken. It is an appeal to the Prapanjam to heal from within and produce positive results. I had always never walked the lobby of the hospital wards or waited anxiously for the latest developments when my wife and daughters were warded in the past. Checking with the hospital if I was required to stay, I would rush back home and start a Homam seeking Prapanjam to do the rests. Prapanjam always answers our pleas and calls for a quick recovery. Have faith in the medical staff to do their work and place your faith in Prapanjam to do the rest, for even the medical practitioners would ask us to pray after they have done their bit in saving us.
Do not keep company with those who complain about every single thing. Do not keep company with those who do not see miracles in everyday life. Do not keep company with those who do not appreciate life. They would drag you into the pit.
Instead, keep company with people who stand out as role models and drive us to achieve. Keep company with those who spread love and kindness. Keep company with those who shed tears for the sufferings of others. These are souls that are elevated to a certain extent. We tend to gain much from keeping in touch with them.
