I used to look towards the skies, look at the moon if it was visible, and peer into the night sky trying to locate stars. I would stand outside my home and take in the breeze that invigorates and replenishes both body and soul. But sadly, looking around, I do not see anyone else gazing at the skies or outdoors. They are all indoors. I realize that it needs an extraordinary phenomenon like last night's lunar eclipse to take place to have people actually look at the moon. It made me realize how we have taken nature and life for granted. So too Agathiyar told me that it looks like he has to do miracles or Siddhis to get people to adopt the ways of the Siddhas. But Agathiyar does not expect us to live as he did in his days of roaming. Both Agathiyar and Tavayogi tell me that I have not even been through a fraction of what they went through to attain their state. Agathiyar has simplified the way and its means for us living in the present times. In a Nadi reading many years back, giving me practices, he pointed out that he was only giving those that they did and which worked out for them. At times, he tells me, seeing the condition of my body, to only do some workouts that Tavayogi gave and not the full set. Yet many stay away. I guess the path has been made to look difficult by its pioneers and followers before us vomiting the same throughout the ages, years, and decades.
Agathiyar, in coming to us in February of 2024, over two consecutive days, sitting around a table having lunch with my family, shared his deepest feelings, concerns, and fears with us. He parted with us, much Gnanam too, enlightening us for the better.

Such is their love towards humanity and to see man achieve what they did and attained. Velayutham Karthikeyan Aiya, who was the admin and author behind the blog "Siththan Arul", reveals this in his blog. Karthikeyan Aiya’s blog entry brings us back to time immemorial when the Siddhas, being compassionate and kind, put forward to God or Erai as Agathiyar wishes to address, their wishes for humanity. The Siddhas had wished that whoever seeks them out for solutions to their problems and surrenders to them, shall be pardoned for their past deeds, however bad and evil they may be, and shall not be put through the trial and tribulations and made to face the consequences, but instead be saved. Agathiyar humbly requests that Brahma change the karma of all those who came seeking him (Agathiyar), as he had given his word to them. As Agathiyar did not give up on his devotees and insisted that Lord Brahma change their fate, it is written that Brahma asked him,
"You are asking me to go easy on too many devotees. It would take not less than 10 years to seek out their Nadi or Olai Suvadi and make changes to their fate."
Though I had read and shared this many years ago, in reposting this today, I have the answer as to why many things said by Agathiyar for devotees have not been answered. My wife and I had discussed this. I had voiced out my sadness, fearing that those who came to him for solutions might think that he lied or simply said things to please them, when she asked me back, like Agathiyar and Tavayogi usually do, "Did he mention when it shall take place?" She was right. Indeed, never did Agathiyar give the exact date of their wishes materializing. With us, although Agathiyar appears immediately upon hearing our cries and calls, he is always straightforward and tells us whether what we wish for is possible or otherwise. For instance, he came with Lord Muruga and Bhogar to conduct a Homam in the home of her ailing mother. After consultation with Lord Siva, he tells my wife he cannot grant her wish for reasons only known to the divine, but would be overlooking her state continuously. She is in her eighties. Similarly, he told me the same about my sister's state many years back. She is in her seventies now, but she is a happy child. So too in some cases, Agathiyar buys time by asking seekers to come later for a Nadi reading. Obviously, he needs time to look through the Akashic records, sifting through not one but thousands of our births. And we tend to blame Agathiyar for not responding and helping out. It is sad that nobody truly understands Agathiyar.
