In an age where people like to watch or listen on the go, I am surprised that many also read, as evidenced by the statistics on my blog. With so many hosting podcasts and bringing messages across, it is a wonder that there are still many who read. To all those out there reading my blog, thank you very much. Besides my readers gaining access into my mind and my views, opinions, thoughts, and reading about my experiences and the lessons I learned, Agathiyar has shared many good things that I have carried on this blog. I, too, am learning from it all. This blog serves as a reminder to me in many ways and is a place of recollection of my memories, too, to which I can always fall back, even when a day comes when I might like others lose my memory too.
I am blessed to have taken on this journey, something that never occurred to me, as I was not aware of the Siddha path until the calling came in 2002. If home puja, temple visits, reading, astrology, and numerology helped me sail the waters before 2002, after the Nadi reading, the Siddhas held my hands in guiding me through some sixty-odd Nadi readings that I have had. I guess that is the reason some still contact me asking for a reading, thinking that I am a Nadi reader, as I have written extensively on it and referred to it in this blog. Others consult me either before the reading or share their readings with me.
When man is down and trodden, all the above means and methods to look into the future serve to uplift them from their predicament. And if they care to know their past, too, they would be pacified knowing the reasons for what they are going through. At least they would not feel deserted and bring an end to their problems in unimaginable ways. These aids are a lifeline to keep us afloat through these trying times. People need to talk about their problems. This is the reason temples were built and statues installed. For one who would not want to share with another, the temple walls and the idols are willing to listen. Walking away from the temple grounds, one then feels lighter as one has laid down their baggage.
Hence, Agathiyar has asked me to listen to others too. I am not supposed to give solutions, though. He listens through me and does what is required of him. We are only avenues for the divine to personally handle the affairs of their subjects and children.
He has asked that I stay away from the limelight, preferring me to be behind the screen, tasking me with writing instead. I shall adhere to his wish. I never imagined that I would write, but it all fell into place with him often giving me the subject for the day and even the words and sentences falling into their proper place. I keep reading these writings, for it is a learning for me too.
It also keeps me occupied during this phase of my pension days. My mind is alert, just as I keep fit with my daily walks twice a day. Agathiyar has kept me well since day one, for which I am truly grateful. Hence, the reason it troubled me much to see others in trouble back then in my bachelor days and even till now, although Agathiyar has spelt it out as each individual's karma. But the Siddhas did not just reveal the reason and wash their hands. It is said that they pleaded with Lord Brahma, asking him to change people's fate for the better. They have approached Lord Siva to show mercy on their devotees. They give us the way and means, methods, and remedies to bring ourselves out of the dilemma that we had brought on ourselves in the past. What one has to do is listen and follow, with belief and faith. Hopefully, all shall be well in good time.
