THE SOLUTION

A chain of bad deeds sets in as a disease that leads to more suffering. When someone comes with an illness, the Siddhas look into the records of their past lives for merits acquired, accumulated and stored, and also for bad karma. They also consider the merits in the present life and currently acquired. They look into the future actions, waiting to by discharged due to dormant desires or vasanas and karma. They look into one's merits and how his life will turn out, the extent and hold of fate on him. Only after a close analysis of all these factors will the Siddhas consider to take on the case before them. They will then advise appropriately, assuring them or recommending a relief only if fate allows or there is provision to do so and if the Almighty approves too. 

To ardent disciples they set off immediately to work towards reducing the sufferings, unknown most of the time to these disciples. These disciples need to understand that they would have to shoulder much severe miseries and sufferings, if the Siddhas had not interfered. 

To acquire the grace of the siddhas, one has to seek good merits rather than bad. He has to live life accordingly so as to rid his karma vasanas. He has to walk a path of truth (sathyam) and righteousness (dharma). As one walks this life of truth and righteousness, karma shall reduce. 

Simply said man should not bring suffering unto other beings. Upholding this principle will end all of his misery.

All the sufferings and miseries that Tavayogi and his able aid and disciple Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyaar had to face made them stronger. Because of their indisputable faith and belief on Agathiyar, today they are in a position to administer 'medicine' to the 'sick' and 'faint at heart', who come along to their ashram. With a little dose of 'hope', in the form of a magical mantra, "Potrinaal Unathu Vinai Agalum Appa", Tavayogi and Mataji help those who seek help.

Tavayogi has another mantra too, "Thanamum Thavamum Mathume Unkalai Paathukaakum Kavasangal", that loosely translates as "Only dharma or charity and tavam or austerities act as a 'force field' or shall protect you"

For those willing to change and keen to bring some light into their lives, Tavayogi has another mantra, "Thondu Sei Kandu Kolvom, Thuyar Thudaippom", that translates as, "Do Service and We Shall take Notice and Wipe Your Sorrows Away".

To some karma comes around and around, weakening their faith and belief, confidence and hope. To those who are continuously bombarded by bad karma, the only way is to seek the Almighty's grace, through devotion and performing charity.

Agathiyar in his work, Agathiyar 12,000, mentions the significance of Kallar hills, that it is the playground of Agathiyar and Supramaniar (Lord Murugan).

Recently Agathiyar has revealed another aspect of these Kallar hills too, "Kallar is the place to quickly reduce the curses and sins and karma of one's past births and also of their ancestors".

Even before this was made public, Tavayogi was directed to the Kallar hills, where he set up his ashram. It is amazing to see Kallar ashram grow slowly but surely in its majestically within a span of 12 years. Tavayogi carried out charity, feeding the poor, educating the illiterate, conducting yoga classes and giving spiritual discourses. He was directed to conduct yagams or the lighting of the sacrificial fire that was done to ward of natural calamities. Later Tavayogi conducted the annual Sarva Dosa Nivarana Maha Yagam, specifically to relieve the pain, suffering, worries, and miseries of the common man. Along the way Agathiyar delivered the mysterious and mystical single faced rudraksham that is worshiped as a Shivalingam. Agathiyar asked that Tavayogi install a murthi or statue of hill at the spot where Agathiyar gave darshan to Tavayogi in the days where he roamed the jungles of Kallar.  Today many come to Kallar ashram for another reason too. Every Wednesdays and Saturdays, Tavayogi reads Agathiyar's Jeeva Nadi for the public.

Let us see how the Siddhas communicate through the Nadi in the next post.
