Agathiyar wanted his child to serve him. He let her live her life out while he patiently waited for her. After the demise of her husband and her responsibility towards her only child was over, he decided the time was right to bring her back to his fold and path, and rope her in on his massive mission.
She was an ardent devotee of the Goddess and Karupanasamy. She was an ardent devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba too. Each time she returned to her homeland in Kerala, she never failed to stop over and offer her prayers to the Goddess in Chennai. She helped towards installing a seven feet tall statue of Karupanasamy at her temple too. She made a journey to India in April of 2011 to participate in the installation of Karupanasamy and Kumbhabhisekam at this temple and left shortly back for the USA. Watch a video of the prayers performed here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjL9vnPpxbk
She had just returned to the USA after participating in the rituals at this temple, when while skimming through the net on a cold night in the comfort of her home in Minnesota, U.S.A, she was captivated by Agathiyar's photo on Sadhguru Venkatraman's website. (She wrote on June 4th 2015, a couple of days back, recalling this moment, "Now I sit back and think of that night, when my eyes first fell on Sadhguru Venkatraman's Site and I spotted my father, my Guru there... instantaneously") Hence forth started a trail of miracles and astonishment.
Still browsing the net, she comes across a link to my webpage indianheartbeat.20m.com (Now defunct since I had removed it although a pdf copy of it is available at http://www.scribd.com/doc/156307011/From-My-Travels-in-India) where her eagerness to know about Agathiyar developed in multi-folds. She emails me on 30th June 2011 as follows,
"Greetings to you Sir, I am Mrs Menon. I was reading an article from Agasthiar.com. ..... I read all the articles posted on Sadhguru Venkataraman's site .... when one link led to another and then to another another and finally saw this link ........ My travels with Supramania Swamy. This interested me a lot .... I had for a very long time trying to find out visit Saint Agasthiar's cave. What is this person who is mentioned as Tavayogi. Is he a guide or an Enlightened Master. Then I saw this link which shows ...."email me ". Hence I thought I would email and find out the details of all that is mentioned here. I would also like to know who shanmugam avadaiyappa is / regards Mrs Menon."And so started this beautiful relationship between her and my family. Eventually unable to contain her yearning, she found herself reeling back to India and to Kallar after a few months, for the very first time and not knowing what to expect.
At Kallar, Agathiyar magically and mysteriously initiates her. She had planned to spend six months at Kallar Ashram but was made to return to U.S.A immediately, missing the Annual Guru Puja and Jayanthi celebrations in a couple of months. She went back reluctantly to the U.S.A.
Meanwhile she used to watch the prayers that I conducted for Agathiyar and the Siddhas at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia via SKYPE from the U.S.A. She returned to participate in the Annual Jayanthi celebrations for Agathiyar at Kallar the following year. Watch the Jayanthi celebrations at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feW3LVVp5zk
After the annual Sarva Dosa Nivarana Maha Yagam which was the highlight of the two day Jayanthi celebrations at Kallar was over, she left Kallar and traveled to numerous temples and ashrams in India.
She headed for Papanasam and Kalyana Theertam, where she was invited into Sadhu Krishnaveni Amma’s ashram. It is here at Kalyana Theertam that a stream of light appeared mystically from the sky in broad daylight, following her, blessing her and slowly making its way to Agathiyar and Lobha Ma who are seated majestically on a chariot! Watch this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opbi_oNDgYs
Even before she could take in the excitement and digest it, she was brought to the caves in the vicinity. Agathiyar shows her his light form or Jyothi Darisanam in the adjacent caves.
New found friends bring her along to witness a Yagna conducted at the strike of midnight in the jungles of Kalahasti. Watch this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptHqTdtXcn4 She is shown an amazing streak of light at the entrance to a temple at Srikalahasti.
While in Chennai, she frequents the Panchesti temple. A staunch devotee of Lord Murugan, vacates his home in Palani to make room for her where she was in solitude in March of 2013 before Agathiyar instructed her to move to another spot at Kalyana Theertam. Later she moved from Kalyana Theertam too.
She was called to Vadalur. After having received Ramalinga Adigal's grace, she returned from Vadalur, now even more determined to spread the word of God.
In October of 2013, she pays her respect at Supramania Swami's samadhi and spearheads a massive Annadhanam program at Thiruvannamalai, upon my request, to fulfill his last wish before going into samadhi. At the end of the Annadhanam circuit she is blessed by Ramalinga Adigal at the Sri Navalingam Sri Navasakthi Temple.
Later that day she greets my family and me, upon our arrival at Trichy. After stopping over at Thiruvanaikaval and Sivanmalai we head for Kallar Ashram. She leaves us and joins us in Malaysia again later.
She arrives in Malaysia a couple of hours after our arrival. She graces Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia. She makes another visit to Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia the following year.
She is mysteriously summoned to the Nattadresswarar Temple in the midst of the Kaveri River at Kangayapalaiyam near Erode where more mysterious and mystical events take place.
She visits Swamimalai and travels to Agasthiyampalli near Vedaranyam too.
In Chennai, Agathiyar shows his presence again in the form of light at the Panchesti temple which she frequents often. Just hours earlier she is showered mysteriously with the sacred ash brought in by a gust of wind to everyone's surprise and amazement.
Finally Agathiyar places her under house arrest in yet another place not to be disclosed as yet under his strict instructions. Occasionally she was instructed to leave the "fortress stronghold" for several places to observe certain austerities and rituals. She is still living in solitude under the watchful eyes of Agathiyar while the Siddhas work on her and attend to her needs.
She wrote to me,
Kallar was Agathiyan's CALL ... Nattatreshwar Temple was Murugan's CALL ... Vadallur was Valallar's CALL ... Thiruvanamalai was SHIVA'S CALL ... (Also Vallalar). The Direct Experiences I had with the 'DIVINE" in all these places.... Definitely was in another plane.. I could confirm this after my last visit to your place and the happening there... To Quote Mahi... "I think that room (Pooja room) was another Portal for those two hours OR Agathiyan must have erected Screens ... SO VERY TRUE..
Agathiyar opened his eyes to see all those who had gathered and for all to see too during Jnana Jyothiamma's visit to Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia. We are blessed indeed.
