Returning from my niece's wedding over the weekend brought back memories of Tavayogi and Mataji having taken the trouble to travel to Malaysia in 2016 to witness and bless my daughter's wedding.
And they are now parents to three wonderful kids.
If we were honored to have them attend the wedding and grace our home back then, Agathiyar expressed his wish to see me and my wife conduct our 60th wedding to coincide with Guru Purnima Day. He went on to explain about weddings and the reasons for asking us to do it. If he had brought together many youths after their Nadi readings to my home that later took on the name Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM), where Agathiyar desired them to watch and learn the Siddha puja and rituals and bring them into their own homes making each home an AVM too, in having us carry out this 60th wedding he wants others to live together too till their old age in these worrying times of escalating cases of divorce. We agreed to undertake and carry out his wish. We are truly blessed when the guru oversees our lives and guides us.
P.S. When I sent the link of this post to Anuradha Gajaraj-Lopez who compiled the conversations her father had with Agathiyar, she forwarded and shared a compilation of the discourses on the subject of marriage from "Agasthiyar Vazhipaadu".
