AVM'S AGATHIYAR JAYANTHI & GURU PUJA 29 DECEMBER 2015

The 6th Annual Agathiyar Jayanthi & Guru Puja was held at AVM in a modest manner with participation from family and friends. A small fire pit or homam was lit, followed by libation or abhisegam to Agathiyar and finally singing the praise of Agathiyar, the Siddhas and Erai. The prayers was streamed live at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/siddha-heartbeat.

Several members of AVM flew to Kallar to participate in the Sarva Dosa Nivarana Maha Yagam held to commemorate the Jayanthi festivals at the new site of the Sri Agathiyar Gnana Peedham.
