KALLAR POURNAMI POOJA

TRUE DEVOTION





Appaiya Deekshitar, a great mahan, wonders how the Lord, in the wee hours on the full moon day in the month of Margazhi when the trees bow their heads drenched with dew fan the icy winds, stands in the open hall (Ambaram) with ice cold waters of Ganga falling on His matted locks and the cool moon peeping out from the locks with the cold snakes slithering upon His body and the daughter of the snow peaked Himalayas taking half His body is able to bear such cold. 
The mahan invites the Lord to come and take shelter in his heart which is like a hot hearth burning with desires and passion and what not !
Such a beautiful thought! The above episode was posted by Srimathi Vijayalakshmi Ravichandran on fb. 

Ramalinga Adigal to was concerned for the Lord having to dance for long hours and voiced his concern in an Arutpa song, THIRUVADI KANNI. Just to think about the amount of compassion of these saints towards the Lord, brings tears to one's eyes.

Vijayalakshmi Ravichandran wrote further giving a detailed explanation of the Ardhra Darsanam.
Ardhra means drenched. Drenched in compassion. Ardhra Darsanam which happens in the wee hours of the morning of the Margasira Pournami day when the Thiru Athirai star is in ascendancy, is when the supreme Lord out of compassion to the entire universe performs His cosmic dance in the Chit Ambaram that is the empty space (Akasam or Ambaram) within the consciousness (Chit).
The supreme performs five functions of creation, sustenance, withdrawal, veiling and liberation which represents His five faces and the five syllables (Aksharas) of the holy Panchakshara. The manifestation of all creation is His cosmic dance which is present in the tiniest particle and permeates the immeasurable universe.
The five fold function of the Lord is represented as His cosmic dance in five places.
The dance of creation is at Chidambaram in the platform of gold and represented by the syllable SI of the Panchakshara. The damaru which is held in the Lord's upper left hand represents the principle of sound or Omkara the mother of creation. The Lord is worshipped in the Brahma muhurta or the time before dawn.
The second dance is performed in the hour of dawn when the Sun pops out of the horizon as a blazing golden disc reddish in hue (Asau ya tamro aruna) at the copper platform in Tirunelveli. This represents sustenance and the syllable VA and the Lord's foot planted on the ground or on the body of the demon of ignorance Muyalakan.
Third comes the dance at Madurai performed by the Lord in the silver platform (Rajatha Sabha) at noon represents the act of veiling or Tirodhanam and the syllable YA and His free Hand pointing to His feet as if showing the way to all that surrender at His feet is the way to cross the veil of Maya. The dance at Madurai is different in the sense that here the Lord lifts His right feet instead of His left.
The Sandhya Thandavam performed at the evening twilight hours at Kuttralam Chitra Sabai (platform of arts and crafts) is also the Pradosha dance performed by the Lord between the two horns of Lord Nandikeswara for the benefit of the Devas to redeem them of their guilt in partaking of the Amrutham begotten by the churning of the milky ocean without offering their thanks to Lord Shiva who consumed the deadly poison Alahala to save them. The hand lifted in blessing the Abhaya Hastha is Anugraha or blessings and is depicted by the syllable NA.

The final dance of withdrawal or Laya Thandava is performed by the Lord at Thiru Alankadu at midnight when He as Maha Kala the supreme keeper of Time dances with Devi Kali and lifts His leg skyward to absorb all creation within Him. This is the dance performed in the Maha Smasan represented by the syllable MA and the left upper hand of the Lord holding the Fire.

I shall try to stream live the pooja conducted at Agathiyar Vanam every Thursdays, on Full Moon and New Moon days too as listed on the tentative schedule at http://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/…/schedule-of-siddhar-po…

Please bookmark this page http://www.ustream.tv/channel/siddha-heartbeat and http://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/…/…/siddha-puja-live.html. Come check it out on these days. The pooja usually starts at 6 pm Malaysian time, 8 hours east of Greenwich.

We shall be broadcasting in three portions, with a break in transmission in between each portion. We shall start with the Homam. There will be a break in transmission to give us time to clear up and prepare for the next stage, the Abhisegam. We shall take another break to clear up and prepare for the final stage, the Bhajans. So please stay with us. If it is necessary, please refresh the page after every break.

I have provided the Siddha hymns too, so that you could follow singing the praise of the Siddhas in the comfort of your homes. The Siddhargal Potri is substituted with Swaha during the lighting of the sacrificial fire or homam.

GURU VIZHA



With Agathiyar's Jayanthi and Guru Puja just round the corner; Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal and Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyaar finishing the final touches to the preparations for the two day celebrations and 108 individual yaga kundam or sacrificial fire pits; devotees making preparations to head for Kallar to participate in the 108 Sarva Dosa Nivarana Maha Yagam to be held in conjunction with the festivities, Kallar has taken on a new mood of festivities and is a hive of an activity.

Stalin and Kalyankumar Veerapandiyan on their part have been promoting Kallar and the upcoming event extensively. Stalin has also prepared a digital poster to announce a similar event simultaneously to be held at Agathiyar Vanam in Malaysia. Siddha Heartbeat and Agathiyar Vanam take this opportunity to thank Stalin for his amazing piece and all the promotion.

Sirikindran Kuzhanthai Pol Arul





I arrived in Thiruvannamalai for the very first time in 2003. During the Girivalam or circumambulation I spotted a billboard showing the way to Yogi Ramsuratkumar's ashram. As I took the path it kept going. Those who I asked for directions asked me to continue in that direction. After some time, I thought that I was moving away from the Girivalam path and decided that I shall visit the Yogi the next day after daybreak. 

The next day I was driven to his ashram only to find it closed for the midday. That evening I was blessed to meet my very first guru Supramania Swami in a village some eight kilometers away from Thiruvannamalai. My driver, Deventhiran led me to him for an astrology reading for my daughter. But the Swami spoke about me instead without looking into my charts, palm or any other means.

We wrote to each other after I returned to Malaysia. Later we spoke on the phone. In 2005 I visited him again. After ushering me into the kudil, just walking distance from the Yogi's ashram, and all the formalities were over, his wife and son returned to their village. He invited me for prayer. As he rolled his rudraksha malai or rosary bead  he started chanting, YOGI RAMSURATKUMARA, YOGI RAMSURATKUMARA, YOGI RAMSURATKUMARA, JAYA GURU RAAYA. As it was a simple chant I joined in. After only some minutes into the chant, I heard an additional voice. It was that of a male. I did not open my eyes but sat listening to the mysterious voice accompany our chant. I thought to myself of asking Swami whether he heard the voice too, the first thing when the chant ends. Swami stopped chanting after some time. When I opened my eyes, he was already leaving his prayer room for the living room. I followed him. I had entirely forgotten about the voice!

After a brief stay at Kallar ashram I returned to Supramania Swami to bid him farewell before leaving for Malaysia. Upon arrival, the very first thing Swami asked me was if I had heard the voice! "Yes!" I cried out. "Who was it?" I asked. He gave a loud laugh and told me "Vissiri Mattai". His guru Yogi Ramsuratkumar had accompanied us that day! What was even more amazing was that the Yogi had gone into samadhi some years back on February 20, 2001!

BECOMING A SIDDHA


I have been trying to comprehend and understand Ramalinga Adigal's works, the THIRUARUTPA for some time now. While reading through the compositions of Ramalinga Adigal, the THIRUARUTPA, I came across his Thiru Unthiyaar (திரு உந்தியார்), Kaliththaazisai (கலித்தாழிசை), where he expounds the qualities of a Siddha  and proudly announces that he too had progress steadily to become one.

THE YEAR THAT WAS & USURING 2015

The year 2014 is coming to a close. It has been a memorable year for us at Agathiyar Vanam and Siddha Heartbeat. We have had a few new devotees drop by at Agathiyar Vanam. We have had many viewers drop in on Siddha Heartbeat too. For all those who encouraged us on, Siddha Heartbeat takes this moment to say a BIG thank you.

The year saw Jnana Jyothiamma make a brief visit to Agathiyar Vanam again.

At the Siva Subramaniar Temple at Kampong Kepayang, Ipoh
At Jegathguru Sri Raghavendra Mrithiga Brindavanam in Ipoh
At Mouna Guru Siddhar Samadhi at Batu Caves
The year saw the start of live streaming of pooja or prayers conducted at Agathiyar Vanam too. Although we had transmitted the prayers to Jnana Jyothiamma through Skype earlier, Stalin mooted the idea to go public. Stalin has been promoting the blog and the transmission too. A BIG thank you to Stalin too. 

Siddha Heartbeat also thanks all contributors to this blog through their stories, photos, and videos. Siddha Heartbeat thanks Jnana Jyothiamma, Balachandran Gunasekaran and Suren Selvaratnam for sharing their Nadi revelations too.

Agathiyar Vanam and Siddha Heartbeat thank all those who visited Kallar ashram and contributed to the upkeep of the ashram by way of cash and kind. We thank them on behalf of Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal and Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyar.


PRELUDE TO PERFORMING THE SODASA SIDDHAR POOJA

Jnana Jyothiamma wanted to have a Nadi reading for some time now. She remembers vividly her very first Jeeva Nadi reading at Kallar ashram in 2011, although the transcript of her Nadi that Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyar wrote down, went missing mysteriously. Her wish eventually came true when she was summoned for a reading recently. On October 15, 2014 she surprises me with news of her sudden reading of the Jeeva Nadi. On October 13th she was blessed with an amazing five hour Jeeva Nadi reading, with Nadi Nool Aasan Selvam and subsequently another two readings on November 18th. 
Dear Shan,

I had a five and a half hour non stop Jeeva Nadi ( 3 bundles ) reading yesterday .. with 15 mins gap in between ... where Agathiyan and Vallalar were in full force and form.

You know all through Agathiyan has been consistently repeating that I do not need a Nadi reading. But deep within me, I felt, I wanted to hear from him ... one last time, certain matters that is within me. So I prayed to him everyday to grant my wish. For a very long time, I had been praying to daddy (Agathiyar) that I wanted to ascertain the following from him. I wanted to know what all I was seeing, hearing, witnessing and the happenings are all real .. and not just a figment of my imagination. Something is telling me somethings always .. so many things .. can I act according to that voice? Is it my imagination? Or my possessiveness and deep obsession with Agathiyan, that ... may be my thoughts and happenings are all wrong ... I wanted to know these from daddy (Agathiyan). As these may require lengthy explanation, I prayed to daddy to give me a Nadi reading and clear my heart.
Suddenly Selvam called me on Monday and asked me if I could make it over to his place on Tuesday as Agathiyan wants to talk to me ....  and further added that although my health was not good enough to travel, but told him (Selvam) to tell me not to worry as he (Agathiyan) would take care and that my personal presence was necessary.

So I went to his place. Selvam greeted me and will tell you in a nutshell ... on his table I saw three bundles. He said ... one jeeva nadi ... he had separated into three bundles ... each to be read at a particular hora ... and showed me a bundle which was a little small in length but a thick one and pointing that to me .. Ayya had asked him to read that at 1pm sharp .... surya hora.

The first lengthy one was started ... daddy came after worshiping Lord Shiva ... and he told me ... first sentence .... "Amma, I am Agathiyan talking to you. I heard your sincere prayers. I was waiting for the right day and time. I also have many things to tell you."

Selvam started reading to me the first bundle, wherein Agathiyan tells me all about my parents and their ancestors birth, the reason for me being born to them and about my husband. He mentioned in detail about all my siblings ... their names and where they all are stationed currently and my relationship .... and why I am the way I am. That was for almost an hour and a half.

He then stopped for 15 minutes and both of us some water to drink ... by that time it was 1 pm, and he took out that specific bundle what Agathiyan had asked him to read during Surya Hora.

In this, Agathiyan answered all my questions, what I had been harboring in my mind for a long time.

Next month, I have to do a massive ritual for Agathiyan and the 18 Siddhas ... he specially mentioned ... "For me (Agathiyan) and the 18 Siddhas".. (dad did not say 17 Siddhas and myself ... lot to understand from this Shan).

For this simultaneous instructions in my reading was given to Selvam too, that, he should conduct it in my presence in the same room where this Nadi reading is being read and dad mentioned the date too, when it should be conducted and specifically told me that "Lord Murugan, Lord Shivan, all the 18 Siddhas and I (Agathiyan) will be present there .... this a very major and an important one for you amma."

Sodasa Siddhar Pooja is Sushmna Pooja.

The 18 Siddhas are to be Invoked through their Respective Chuvadis (as mentioned by Agathiyan) .. and through Agathiyan

That is the reason why the Libation is done for Agathiyan and Shakthi, before the start of the Sodasa Pooja ... as Agathiyan's and Shakhti's grace are required before the start of Sodasa Siddhar Pooja.

This is an very important aspect to note ........ It is that not that 16 items are required for libation to Agathiyan ... (only a few items are required) ....... but 16 items mentioned by Agathiyan are required for the invocation of the 18 Siddhas.

This Sodasa Siddha Pooja should be concluded by Vallai Pooja.

Agathiyan says ... This is the manner how Sodasa Siddhar Pooja are performed by the Siddhas.

It is basically a ritual done by the Siddhas.

Shan ... a compassion of a father that has no bounds and no boundaries.

So this is just 30% what I able to tell you. May be later, I may get permission to reveal the remaining.

Now, the third bundle ... it is completely about my son.

Dad (Agathiyan) had given the Siddha pooja date for me as December 25th 2014.

Selvam had explained beautifully the Siddha pooja ... and how we gonna conduct it ..... I appreciated him a lot and blessed him.
