TO BE IN THE WORLD & NOT OF IT.

When the King picked and appointed a Prime Minister after five days of a hung parliament I was delighted that Agathiyar's prophecy in the Nadi of a supporter many years back had materialized. I was worried that the predictions of his if and when they do not take place would place the Siddha in a bad light. Though I have heard many a politician seeking divine guidance from the Siddhas and the Nadi through devotees, I had once wondered if Agathiyar besides painting a picture of individuals' lives ever spoke about politics. When another senior devotee and I were summoned for a Nadi reading in the midst of a gathering at a temple in 2016 just days before our departure to India, while waiting I brought up this topic and we discussed it. To our surprise, Agathiyar mentioned politics and the state of affairs in the Nadi to us for the very first time, clearing the air. 

The Nadi that intrigued me and guided me from day one has been sidelined since the emergence of the Coronavirus in 2019. Henceforth, the Siddhas came through devotees to deliver messages. They began to speak about Nadi of a different kind, that which runs through another body that we carry with us too. The https://www.yogajournal.com/ describes it as follows.

The presence of these Nadis is felt these days in me. The tug and the pull and the subsequent pain and blocks that result are regular things these days. But by the grace of the Siddhas, they see to it that it does not permanently harm me. The purging of the excess in the three dosas too has subsided. The occasional churning in the abdomen and the more frequent spinning in the crown of my head continue. The occasional unobstructed flow in both nostrils brings an immediate calm and bliss within. There is total disinterest and disassociation from all things in these moments. I guess this is what is meant to be in the world and not of it.
