AGATHIYAR MAKES HIS PRESENCE KNOWN PART 2

On the homefront, Agathiyar in the Nadi of Amuthavalli K.S.Maniam in the year 2002, had asked to be installed at the Sri Karpaga Vinayagar temple at Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. As she had passed away and Agathiyar's wish had yet to be carried out, a devotee S.Baktha, with others, undertook the task of having Agathiyar's statue made and installed at the said temple. Agathiyar now graces the temple as a bronze statue. Later Agathiyar directed his devotees through the Nadi reading for Baktha, to celebrate Siddha Puja annually at the temple premises.

Agathiyar who directed Palanisamy Aiya to worship him in the form of a granite statue, listened to the aging Palanisamy Aiya's prayers and decided to move from his home in Klang after 7 years. Agathiyar mentioned his intent in both Palanisamy Aiya's Nadi and Uvaraj who was assigned to receive his statue. Agathiyar is currently temporarily housed at the Sri Agasthiyar Sakthi Nyaanaalayam in Taman Petaling, Kepong, while Uvaraj is scouting for a more suitable premise to house Agathiyar and the 18 Siddhas.

A staunch devotee of Agathiyar who had also worshiped Agathiyar at his home in Petaling Jaya for years, had moved him to a nearby Lord Ganesa's temple only to move him again to the Sri Sakthi Raja Nageswari Amman Temple. His divine task of conducting libation or abhisegam for the past 3 years at this temple is now carried out by volunteer devotees of Agathiyar after his demise 3 months ago. The next prayer at this temple is scheduled on 14 August 2015.

Agathiyar with Arunagirinathar and Lord Muruga bless devotees just as they had blessed Pamban Swamigal at the Pamban Swamigal/ Mayuranathar temple in Dengkil. This temple houses Pamban Swamigal’s magnificent statue.

Agathiyar had directed me to install him at the Jegathguru Sri Ragavendra Swamigal Mritiga Brindavanam in Ipoh only to change his mind and remain at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM) to bless his devotees. Live streaming is done from AVM on Thursday, Amavasai and Pornami days besides other auspicious days.




When Agathiyar decided to stay at AVM, he had a devotee contribute his statue at the Jegathguru Sri Raghavendra Mritiga Brindavanam.
