In all my Nadi readings, Agathiyar has been stressing on the need and importance of prayers. On 19.4.2011, Agathiyar surprised me further by revealing his Moola Mantra in the Nadappu Aasi Nigandu Nadi. This was my 40th Nadi reading. Agathiyar asked that this mantra be made known to all. Agathiyar lists out the benefits gained by chanting this mantra. Here is the translation of the portion of the Nadi related to this revelation.
For the purpose of gaining joy in the family and mankind on the whole,
I reveal a magnificent moola mantra of mine,
to be chanted daily,
Mankind will gain if chanted,
All shall gain good health and all other gains,
Victory without hurdles shall one meet,
Miracles and joy will come your way,
Thus I reveal,
Aum Srim Aum Sarguru Patamay
Saaba Paaba Vimosanam
Rowga Ahungaara Durvimosanam
Sarva Deva Sagala Siddha Oli Rupam
Sarguruway Om Agasthiya Kirantha Kartaaya Nama
ஓம் ஸ்ரீம் ஓம்
சற்குரு பதமே
சாப பாவ விமோசனம்
ரோக அகங்கார துர்விமோசனம்
சர்வ தேவ சகல சித்த ஓளி ரூபம்
சற்குருவே ஓம் அகஸ்திய
கிரந்த கர்தாய நம
By chanting thus and conducting prayers,
All shall gain Bliss (Yegantha Nilai),
By chanting this mantra,
Joy (Anandha Jyothi) shall rise in all and
Grace (Arul Jhothi) shall be seen and felt.
Dr C Srinivasan in his exposition of the THIRUVAACHAKAM OF SAINT MAANICKAVAACHAGAR, wrote on the need of prayers as ordained by Saint Maanickavaachagar.
He prayed to Him with pious devotion for his grace. He wept and he melted for His mercy to extricate Him from the miserable cycle of birth and death wiping out the inseparable bonds of illusion, karma and ego.
This he did through his outpouring of 51 poems, that Dr C.Srinivasan describes as, “rapturous songs and emotional melodies”. The Dr continues, “Complete surrender has been echoed in his fervent appeals and mellifluous compositions”. He lists out the reasons to pray too.
And he finally list the best prayer,Surrendering himself completely he may pray to Him to redeem him from all the bonds and the perpetual disease of birth and death. As the saint prays, one may pray to Him to save him from the vagaries of his mind and senses which are after sensual pleasures. He may pray to Him to bestow upon him His mercy and grace. He may pray to him to show him the right path to reach Him. He may pray to Him to bestow upon him eternal Bliss.
Dr C.Srinivasan goes on to describe the transcendent experiences of Saint Maanickavaachagar that came about after constant remembrance and thought on Erai.The best prayer is to pray to Him out of sheer love without asking for even His Bliss. This prayer of loving piety to Him shall place him in everlasting supreme and transcendent Bliss for ever and ever after.
It was only when he prayed that he should be endowed with unintermitting love for him, he was granted. It was only when he, with that love for Him, thawed and melted, He bestowed his grace on him.
As and when his body and soul melted and melted He entered his mind and condescended to enshrine in his body and rooted out his bonds of illusion, karma and ego.When he complained about the wandering of his mind for women and worries about death and birth, He was pleased to entertain his mind with his Light of Grace.As his graceful effulgence grew up more and more when he wept and yearned and his body, bones and soul melted, He ordained to convert His light in him as sweet Ambrosia.
The saint has disclosed the secret of his achievement that God showed him His rosy flowery Feet by informing, “Behold these in your body as Ambrosia welling up and welling up in it!”.
Further, He made his heart to thaw and entered it making ambrosia well up in it. He pumped streams of marvelous ambrosia right into all the pores and cavities of my bones. He fabricated for him an ecstasy bubbling celestial body as if with a melting heart out of his corporal body.Further God – The Supreme Mercy and Supreme Effulgence – condescended to dwell in him and graciously offered him Civan-hood. Thus the saint with the Body of Bliss merged with God in eternal Bliss in everlasting union.
Ramalinga Adigal too mentions in his poems that he saw the results of his prayers.
