DESTINATION : KALLAR PART 1

When Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal confirmed the date of the Kumbhabhisegam of his new Agathiyar temple/ meditation hall complex as on 16 December 2016 we at AVM began to book our flight tickets to India. Bala Chandran Gunasekaran and myself began to draw up the itinerary while Shanga Manickam coordinated the transport with the travel agency in Trichy. 

All nine of us boarded the plane amidst many uncertainties: the political scenario in Tamilnadu after the demise of its Chief Minister; the demonetization of certain Indian currencies; the lethal weather predicted in certain parts of Tamilnadu and the efforts of certain quarters to sabotage the fests at Kallar.

Holding on to Agathiyar's words or Arul Vakku through a Nadi reading just before we left for India, we began the journey. True to his words Agathiyar held on and took our hands on our nine day journey throughout Tamilnadu and eventually led us to Kallar to participate in the four day festivity.

Based on our many previous experiences we pretty well understood that any itinerary that we drew up was only tentative as we knew Agathiyar would change our program eventually. However as we needed to have a schedule to move around we came up with the following:

ARAM

We chanced to meet Nehsan Selvaraj, Satheeswaran Selvaraj and Jagathiswary Ravichandran at the home that AVM and Thondu Seivom visited yesterday. Nehsan who initiated ARAM speaks about his movement, while Jagathiswary speaks about her research paper on the Siddha Faith in Malaysia. Bala Chandran of Thondu Seivom shares his team mates efforts in providing service to the unfortunate.

A DAY OUT DOING CHARITY

Just as Agathiyar, Avvai and other saints had stressed the importance of performing tapas and charity equally, the Divine had instructed Thondu Seivom Bala to feed five physically handicapped souls before starting his pilgrimage to India this month. 

We at AVM joined Thondu Seivom in this act of charity by visiting two homes in Semenyih. We were joined by a trio from ARAM that led onto a very fruitful discussion and exchange of views. It was a very fulfilling day indeed today.
