A young lad stood in front of the Jeeva Nadi Guru hoping for a solution to his dilemma. He had accumulated excessive debts. The lad was employed as an Engineer with a software company. His monthly salary was just sufficient to service the interest on these debts. He seeked Agathiyar and the Nadi for a way out of his financial problem.
When asked how he had landed in this mess, he said he had a desire to amass property and money since young. He had succumbed to a scamp by a foreign company that promised him a very large amount of money. Upon responding to the offer, a man and a woman approached him, showing a cheque for the promised amount made out to the lad's name. But there was a condition laid on him. He had to come up with a certain amount upfront before the cheque would be delivered to him. They promised to return that amount too.
As he had to come up with the said amount of money in a week's time, the lad convinced his parents and brother to sell all their jewellery and their land. As it was yet insufficient, he sold his father's house too. He then borrowed money too. All these was not sufficient. After a week he had yet to come up with the said amount. He then met the couple. As he could not gather the required amount they gave him a grace period of another 10 days, taking the amount that he already had on hand. Eventually after a month he managed to trade off the balance with the cheque. When he deposited the cheque into his account the cheque bounced back. He realized the cheque was a dummy and it was all a hoax and the company did not exist. Realizing he had been tricked he tried to commit suicide twice. But he survived both attempts.
The Jeeva Nadi Guru asked Agathiyar for guidance through the Jeeva Nadi. Agathiyar gave the lad a piece of his mind.
"This lad due to his desires took the shortcut to richness by adopting a wrong path. He should have consulted with others before taking this move. Agathiyar refuses to acknowledge this weakness on his part as fate or destiny. His greed is the reason his family and he are in this mess. His younger brother had to leave the home because he could not face the shame brought on by his brother. He is supposed to have committed suicide too, according to the villagers, right?" Agathiyar reveals further. His parents too will eventually end up with the decision to end their life's, unable to stomach the shame. But the most compassionate Agathiyar says his parents should not be penalized for his mistakes, and decides to to help them. Agathiyar shows him a way out of his financial problem.
Agathiyar directs him and his parents to go on a pilgrimage of all the six abodes of Lord Muruga. Agathiyar assures him that during this journey of his, a miraculous incident will take place. The lad was asked to return to Agathiyar once he was back from the pilgrimage.
But the lad said he had no more money on him, even to go on the pilgrimage, much more take his parents along. The Jeeva Nadi Guru assured the lad to have faith on Agathiyar and he shall show the means and a way.
After two months the lad appeared again as instructed. He told the Jeeva Nadi Guru that he had just returned from the pilgrimage the day before. He disclosed what had taken place during the pilgrimage. Before starting on the pilgrimage, as he needed money to travel with his parents, and since no one came to his assistance, he prayed at the Vadapalani Murugan Temple in Chennai for guidance. Thats when he passed out. On opening his eyes he saw a bag near him. Inside the small bag was jewellery. As no one claimed it, he thought it was Lord Murugan's answer to his prayer and took possession of it. He pawned it for cash and made the pilgrimage, promising to redeem and return the jewellery to the donation box at the temple once his woes were over. At the last leg of his pilgrimage a very wealthy stranger came up to his parents and asked if the lad would marry his daughter. The stranger explained that as his daughter was a victim of polio, no one wanted to marry her. The lad agreed. He had settled all his debts and was now living a satisfied life. He was seeking Agathiyar's advise if the decision he made was right. Agathiyar in the Nadi blessed him.
Agathiyar scans through every person's past to reveal them and then suggests ways and means to make right his/her wrong doings, offering a way out of the predicament they are in and offering an opportunity to change for the better. These are the ever compassionate Sidhas. This revelation by Agathiyar posted on Siththan Arul by Velayudham Karthikeyan Aiya, the original in Tamil, serves to warn and caution us about greed and its repercussions too.
In another revelation, the blind gets Erai’s Darshan. The most compassionate father, Agathiyar arranges for a blind lad to see Erai.
A 22 year old lad walked all the way from Karnataka to Chennai, seeking Agathiyar’s blessing to make a pilgrimage to Nepal, Badrinath, Mukthinath and to bath in the holy waters. Agathiyar blessed him mentioning that all that he wished for will materialize. He added that exactly 45 days from then the lad would receive a flute. He shall learn to play the flute and with Goddess Saraswathi’s blessing he will master the flute and make a living playing tunes. After a year he shall have sufficient money to take the train to fulfill his wishes. Agathiyar added that he will receive Erai's Darshan on the banks of the Kandagi river in Nepal in the early morning hours of a Thursday. Agathiyar assured him that he will be with the lad and after the Darshan his life will change for good.
After 2 years 4 months the lad came back to the Jeeva Nadi Guru. He reveals what had taken place during that time. While sleeping on the platform a young girl woke him up and placed a flute in his hands. She blessed him that he will master the flute in nine days and left immediately. The lad felt the presence of someone guiding him to play the flute. He put much effort into the practice as he was instructed mysteriously. As he was wondering who could be the one guiding him he saw a luminous figure that fitted the description of Agathiyar. The Muni was short with dark beard, fair skin, a drinking vessel or kamandalam in his hand, and hair tied up neatly. The Muni spoke, mentioning that he was the one who tutored him. The lad believes it was Agathiyar himself. Then he ask the Muni, “Who had given the flute to him?” “Saraswathy,” answered the Muni. The lad said he had never seen the image of Agathiyan or Goddess Saraswathy as he was blind since birth. The lad added that he was blessed to have had the Darshan of Erai while bathing in the Kandagi river in Nepal.
In another episode from NADI SOLLUM KATHAIGAL, the ever compassionate Siddhas stage a play whereby mankind benefits.
“I make much money but can’t seem to keep some aside. All I earn is spent on medical expenses and purchasing medicine. Only Agathiyar can save my family,” with these words a man stood before Hanumathdasan.
“What are your medical problems,” questions the Jeeva Nadi Guru.
He began listing them out. “My mother’s kidney has failed. My father has diabetes. My eldest son has an eye problem. My daughter has asthma. My third child has a growth on her neck.”
He asked to see Agathiyar’s Jeeva Nadi for a single medicine that would cure all these problems; the medicine should not cost much and be affordable. His request surprised the Jeeva Nadi Guru.
“Could there be a single solution to all these people’s illnesses?”, wondered the Jeeva Nadi Guru.
But the man insisted that Agathiyar would help him as his family worshipped Agathiyar.
When the Jeeva Nadi Guru ask if he had looked into other options like Sidha medicine and astrology, he mentions he had seen them all but yet he could not find a solution and a way out of his karma.
In the Nadi, Agathiyar directs him to Bhogar, Korakar and Tirumular as they have attain a high standing in the medical field.
The man replies that he had seen Korakar’s Nadi. He had done a yagam with the aid of Tirumular’s chakra. But there was only slight improvement. These Nadi’s mentioned that all the relevant solutions were in Agathiyar’s Nadi.
He continued with another requests, that astonished the Jeeva Nadi Guru again. He said his aunt has had one of her breast removed due to cancer and wanted Agathiyar to replace it. Seeing that his request had angered the Jeeva Nadi Guru, he was willing to drop his last requests. But he insisted Agathiyar reveal one medicine for all the illnesses mentioned earlier.
Agathiyar now reveals that the man who stood before the Jeeva Nadi Guru was Kollimalai Siddhan. Agathiyan reveals that Kollimalai Siddhan and he go back five generations. He had been under Agathiyar’s tutelage learning medicine from him. Agathiyar had made a promise to him in the last birth and he had come to claim it. “I shall reveal 128 herbs to be made as a herbal preparation for the good of mankind. The Jeeva Nadi Guru corporated with Agathiyar by not disclosing what had been mentioned in the Nadi, instead ask the man to jot down all the names of the herbs that are mentioned by Agathiyar. As Agathiyar mentioned the names the man noted it down. Agathiyar mentioned the proportions and how it should be prepared and consumed. He mentioned that it was a wonder drug for all illnesses.
The man thanked Agathiyan and asked to be excused for a moment. He left the note and walked out never to return.
When the Jeeva Nadi Guru seeked Agathiyar for answers to the weird game that was played before him, Agathiyar replied that this is their play or Thiruvilaiyaadal for the benefit of mankind.
In another episode Agathiyar seeks the home of a man to relieve him of his miseries.
Agathiyar out of the blues, in a rare act, instructs the Jeeva Nadi Guru to pass the Jeeva Nadi that was in the Jeeva Nadi Guru's possession to one Ramamurthy in Mylapore, Chennai, to be kept for three days at his home. There were times in the past where Agathiyar had wanted the Nadi to be place at certain temples for a short period, but never before had he instructed to pass it to another individual. The Jeeva Nadi Guru was instructed to leave for Kabhaleeswarar temple immediately. He was ask to sit at a particular spot and facing a particular direction at the temple. Agathiyar mentioned how to identify Ramamurthy. Just as told Ramamurthy came along. The Jeeva Nadi Guru after confirming it was him passed the Nadi to Ramamurthy.
Ramamurthy asked the Jeeva Nadi Guru to read from the Nadi, with disinterest and without any concern at all. Agathiyar instructed Ramamurthy to keep the Nadi in his prayer room at home for three days and to worship it. He was to conduct a yagam too. “It is very necessary and has to happen immediate too”, stressed Agathiyar to him with an urgency. But Ramamurthy started giving reasons, not to except the Nadi. “I have to leave for my village,” he started. Agathiyar replied that he could take it along with him and added that for whatever reason he had to leave for his village, the task shall take place even without him leaving his home, the same night. Then Ramamurthy came up with another excuse that he had a prior engagement and that he had accepted to perform a Chandi Homam. Agathiyar spells out the Chandi Homam Ramamurthy had planned to hold at his home would not take place. After a moment of thought, Ramamurthy started giving more excuses. He had a mother who was battling with life and a daughter who had separated from the husband at his home. He had a son who disliked him performing Homam at home. As hiis son was an atheist, he feared that he might destroy the given Nadi. Agathiyar refused to speak through the Nadi any further. The Jeeva Nadi Guru forcefully handed the Nadi to the priest having arranged to meet him at the same spot in three days time. Ramamurthy reluctantly took the Nadi as the Nadi Guru left.
The Jeeva Nadi Guru was wandering why Agathiyar had wanted to pass the Nadi to Ramamurthy, a non-believer and a difficult character in the first place. Although disappointed that he had to part with the Nadi and then to someone like Ramamurthy who did not appreciate or value the Jeeva Nadi, the Jeeva Nadi Guru reassured himself that there was always a reason behind Agathiyar’s actions. Now that the nadi was not with him, the Jeeva Nadi Guru decided to leave for Tirupathy. There he accidently met Ramamurthy. Ramamurthy on seeing the Jeeva Nadi Guru fell at his feet. Ramamurthy, after gathering himself up and composing himself, reveals that if it was not for Agathiyar’s Nadi he would not be alive that day. Ramamurthy goes on to explain that he had come to Tirupathy by car to perform the Kalyana Ursavam as atonement for his daughter who was separated. After one of the tire the car he traveled in burst and the car went out of control, hitting a light posts, it had burst into flames. By Agathiyar’s grace his family survived the crash and flames. They managed to perform the Kalyana Ursavam and were on their way out.
The priests was in the midst of performing the Chandi Homam earlier, before leaving home for Tirupathy, when a fire broke out due to a short circuit where the wires caught fire. Yet again Agathiyar saved them.
On the third day as arranged the Jeeva Nadi Guru was back at the Kabhaleeswarar temple to collect the Nadi from Ramamurthy. With Ramamurthy was his 40 year old son, Manikanden. His son was a loafer but there was a drastic change in him now, mentions Ramamurthy. Manikanden fell at the Jeeva Nadi Guru’s feet and professed that from that moment onwards Agathiyar was his guru. Ramamurthy's mother who was bed ridden could now walk too. He reveled at the doings of Agathiyar. He wept in joy saying that he and his family were indebted to Agathiyar forever. Only today he saw the light of the day after having suffered for the past 40 years.
The Jeeva Nadi Guru had so many questions that Agathiyar had to answer. He read the Nadi at that spot. Agathiyar reveals that Ramamurthy was his devotee in the last birth. He had done much service to Agathiyar, but due to his past karma he had taken this birth and had gone through hell. Although faced with all kinds of torture and sufferings yet he kept chanting Lord Shiva’s mantra. Agathiyar reveals that he had been at Ramamurthy’s home chanting so that Ramamurthy’s mother should live longer. Lord Dhanvantri eventually submitted to Agathiyar’s plea and his mother was saved. She shall leave another 14 years to a ripe old age, disclosed Agathiyar.
Agathiyar adds that this was the first time he (Agathiyar) had gone to the home of a mortal to chant and seek that their lifespan should be extended. Agathiyar says she deserves it for she had prayed hard. Although fate had planned that Ramamurthy should lose his life while on the way to perform the Kalyana Ursavam, Agathiyar had to step in, otherwise the Jeeva Nadi too would have been lost forever. Agathiyar went further to reveal that he had brought the very much sought out change in Ramamurthy’s son too. Agathiyar worked on Ramamurthy's son-in-law too. “He will be a changed person in three months time,” assured Agathiyar.
Agathiyar assures in the Nadi that in the future he (Agathiyar) will settle in many homes and help humanity cope with their problems.
