Suren has been joining us in prayer to Agathiyar and the Siddhas regularly. Once he asks me where he could purchase a paatharatchai or footwear to worship. When Tavayogi presented me with a fresh pair of patharatchai made from the nunaa tree which was the stala vruksham at the Sri Agathiyar Sri Thava Murugar Gnana Peedham at Kallar, I passed the one I had worshipped all these years to Suren. He happily accepted them. When he garlanded and offered prayers to Agathiyar on Deepavali day, he was in for a surprise. Upon close observation, he saw that Agathiyar had opened his eyes in the painting of his.

Agathiyar opens his eyes. The Paatharatchai is in the foreground. Zoom in to see the miracle.

This reminds me of Agathiyar doing the same feat when nine girls conducted prayers in their home sometime back.

Agathiyar opens his right eye.

The following website carries this miracle too http://blog.good-will.ch/WordPress/2010/10/23/rishi-agastya-a-little-miracle-and-some-stories/
Later Molly Menon sends me a photo of a similar miracle at the Arumigu Ananda Valli Ambigai Sametha Agatheeswarar Temple at Panchesti, Chennai.

And of course the miracle at Agasthiyampalli where Agathiyar opens his eyes when Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal passes his shawl to me to sit on.

And Agathiyar does the same in the replica of his form (at Agasthiyampalli) in Malaysia too.

We have seen the column of light through which Agathiyar showed his presence at Kalyana Theertam and Tiruvannamalai too.

Its amazing how Agathiyar acknowledges his presence to his devotees, assuring us that he is with us.
