SEEING THE LIGHT 2

The Nayanmars were an embodiment of humility. They referred to themselves not as god, son of god, nor saviour, but as a servant to the servant. We are all servants of god, but their humility took a dip even further when they regarded themselves as servants to all the devotees of god. I had nothing to ask for when Agathiyar asked all those who gathered around their wishes and came to me. But he was waiting. Not willing to have him wait any longer, I drove my mind to think of something. Eventually, I told him that I would like to take birth upon birth and serve him as I did in this birth. He immediately asked me if that was what I wanted, reminding me of how Tavayogi always replies to my answers with another question. I knew then that that was not what I should ask for. I am not alone in this journey of discovery. Another soul on another continent is concurrently going through internal changes, besides the changes that took place and changed her life. 

You told me many times to write but I had other professional constraints. You eventually wrote he wanted others to take up his work and share.  You and father worked tirelessly, unselfishly for years to grow and mentor us all. I have taken. I bow down. Thank you both. I will take it up aiya. I will begin his work. I will write. With yours and father's blessings...we will carry the torch. There is only 1 problem aiya...I  know nothing.

She, like Jnana Jothiamma, who shared with me her experiences, took up my suggestion, and since then, shares them on her blog at https://aaksharawellness.blogspot.com/

She writes to me later that, 

My journey was catalyzed by you. Appa says you and I will be doing swami's work not sure what he means. He says swami is with him and he's sooo happy about the blog. I wanted the blog to not just be about me and my journey. I would like people to read and examine their own so they learn something at the same time. Appa will guide them in doing so. Each person has experiences that is unique so we bring all that into a bigger system. We have to keep n open mind to that and not look for only what is within our own paradigm. That path is not cast in stone. That leaves room for vast diverse learning for us...a new stage in our journey...otherwise we may not realize that.

Speaking about pain and suffering in our daily lives and later bliss that comes as pain on the spiritual path, she wrote, 

Indeed Pain and suffering is very real aiya. I  can attest to that. Sorrow, grief, anguish. I had to experience it to understand it in others. Hence so many are seeking the light.

Was wondering if you had any strange aches and pains aiya..

Last 3-4 days had severe pain in the whole head, precisely in the crown chakra down the back of the head in line with both eyes and the 3rd eye. The left eye and left side of the face. Pain also down the back of the head into the neck and left shoulder. Activity at the top of the head felt like surgery. Much better today. 

Later, 

I have been feeling better than the previous week aiya. Symptoms have been much better but still alot of activity at the top of the head and strong energy pulses running mostly bottom feet upwards. That's been for a while but intensity feels stronger. Also strong 3rd eye activity. I am paying attention to the symptoms now although they are under control now I feel when I  pray or concentrate on some issues etc the symptoms can become alive or activated. We must chat about that aiya. I would like to understand that better. Also having much sleep disturbance very erratic. Waking at odd times...takes about 1-2 hours to fall asleep again. Also  night sweats although our nights are getting pretty cold with winter approaching.

Much later, 

Still lots of pain at the top of the head...swirling energy. Yesterday was intense. Pain down the back of the head, neck and shoulders. Lots of energy surges throughout the body often. More intense than before. Wish I  could understand all of it better to harness it more meaningfully. Guess I have to observe, document, experiment and decode by myself to ultimately "realise myself".  Am the researcher and the guinea pig. 

More,

Activity at the top of the head continues sometimes even while sleeping...can feel gentle swirling. Also feels exciting that something is happening.

Then, on 16 May 2025, Agathiyar has me translate and pass her a message from a devotee. Agathiyar speaks about the breath. He says that one needs to bring more Prana into the cells through the practice of Pranayama. He explains that each action of ours and its corresponding experiences are registered in these cells. For one who is keen to overcome these changes, he or she has to pick up the tool that is Pranayama. One has to separate these experiences and feed the burning fire within, thus cleansing the body. In doing so, the Pranayama within will be energized and bring forth certain chemical reactions. In these instances, one has to be focused and not be led astray by these happenings. With extreme activity in the third eye comes a cooling effect in the crown of the head. We are asked not to mind this but to focus on the breath. With the swirling of the Chakras, the body will become lethargic and weak. To correct this, one has to do Yoga practices both in the mornings and evenings. This will rid the inconveniences and discomfort in the body and with the internal cleansing, the Chakras will be pushed to higher levels. He adds that one has to be diligent and serious in doing these practices. 

ஒரு மனிதன் தன்னுடைய வாழ்நாளில் செய்யக்கூடிய அணைத்து செயல்களும், இந்த உடலில் ஒவ்வொரு அணுக்களிலும் பதிவு செய்யப்படுகிறது. அந்த செயல் பாட்டின் வினை பொருளாகத்தான் அவன் அனுபவங்களும் அமையக் கூடும். அதைக் கடக்க எண்ணுபவன், சில வித்தைகளைக் கையாள வேண்டும். அதாவது உடலில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு அணுக்களிலும் இருக்கக் கூடிய அனுபவ அலைகளைப் பிரித்து எடுத்து தீக்கு இரையாகி அதனைக் கொண்டே உடலைத் தூய்மை செய்தல் வேண்டும். இதைச் சித்தர் வழிமுறைகளைக் கொண்டே செய்யவல்லது தகுந்த ஒன்றாகும். உடலை ஒரு கருவியாக்கி சுவாச பயிற்சி மூலமாக ஒவ்வொரு அணுக்களிலும் ஊடுருவ வேண்டும். 

இதனை மேற்கொள்ளும்போது, உடலில் பிரதானமாக இருக்கக்கூடிய பிராண வாயு சீர் செய்யப் பட்டு சில திரவியங்களை உட்பத்திற்குள்ளாகும். அந்த தருணத்தில், மன அலைகள் சிதறாமல் ஒரு முக படுத்தி சுவாசத்தை ஒன்று திரட்டிக்கொண்டே இருக்கப் பழகிக்கொள்ள வேண்டும். 

கண் புருவ பூட்டில் பிராணாவாயுவின் அழுத்தம் காரணமாகவும் அதன் பிரதி பலனாக  சிரசில் குளிர்ச்சி உண்டாகுவதும் இயற்கையே. அதனைப் பொருட்படுத்தாமல் சுவாசத்திலே திளைத்திருத்தல் நல்ல பலனைத் தரும். 

சக்கரங்களின் சுழற்சி மிகுதியால் உடல் சற்று தொய்வுற்றே இருக்கும், அதனைச் சரி செய்யவே காலையும் மாலையும் யோகத்தில் ஈடுபட்டு வர, உடல் உபாதைகள் நீங்கி தூய்மை பெறவே சக்கரங்கள் மேல்நிலைக்குத் தள்ளப்படும். அதுவரை செய்யும் முயற்சிகளை ஊக்கத்தோடு செய்து வருக.
