If my parents introduced me to temple worship and the Gods and Goddesses they and their ancestors worshipped, I took to reading about customs, tradition, and later religion out of curiosity. It was not until 43 years later, in 2002, that the Nadi connected me to Agathiyar. Agathiyar then connected me to Supramania Swami, who connected me to his guru lineage. Later, with the coming of Tavayogi, the latter connected me to my breath, giving me what Agathiyar describes as a treasure. He gave me a set of Asanas and Pranayama techniques that I diligently practiced. The Prana absorbed began to do wonders within, enhancing my senses at the same time. The rituals shown to me that I took up drew the bridge and brought down the Siddhas from their realms to mingle amongst us. Soon, the energy within began to connect with that of the Siddhas, whereby they came within and spoke too. Today, this energy transmission extends beyond me and connects me with people of all walks of life, with whom I come into contact, bringing chills and instant bliss within, what was first experienced in the temples. If initially my parents, siblings, relatives, and friends showered their love on me, then came the gurus who went beyond and showered me with their grace. Finally, the Siddhas, Gods and Goddesses, and Prapanjam have come to connect directly and shower their grace. What else does a man want?
Tracing back this journey of a mere 23 years, I could provide a preliminary overview and list a short timeline of events as follows.
- Coming to know why I took this body through the Nadi reading by the Siddhas. 2002
- Coming to worship the Siddhas. 2002
- Following a guru and finding my own path later. 2005 - 2018
- Knowing my "Self". 2024
- Connecting back to my source.
- Becoming the Watcher.
It is said that walking the spiritual path is akin to walking on a sharp razor. It will either make us or break us. Many have gone cuckoo or fallen from grace because of their actions. After much effort and divine grace arriving at and standing at the door to the Lord's kingdom, one has to be watchful of the trap door waiting to swallow us. Past desires, and vasanas, might surface then and bring us down. One has to be continuously watchful. In taking down these notes, it is more of a reminder for me rather than advice for my dear readers. I have to keep reminding myself of these dangers constantly lurking behind even the best of things, that trap and shackle us, bringing shame if we are not careful.
