While walking with the Siddhas I was led onto their path beginning with Sariyai, then Kriyai, Yogam and with their grace, eventually Jnanam one day. After coming to Agathiyar, I let him lead me. He asked me to worship him and the Siddhas and Erai too. He lives in my home in the form of a bronze statue where we perform libation to him. We perform lighting the sacred fire pit ritual or homam too. All these is conducted on his directive. He knows whats best for me. He knows when I should start a regime or practice and when to end it too. A guru is one who gives one a practice and monitors his progress, and if the need be, puts an end to that very practice too.
Agathiyar starts almost everyone who comes for a Nadi reading with instructions to perform atonements or parikarams which takes one to many temples too. Agathiyar has encouraged devotees to undertake pilgrimages. Agathiyar and the Siddhas amaze their devotees by performing miracles, giving darshans and guiding them on their journeys besides performing many other mind boggling feats.
Besides other places, I was asked to visit Agasthiyampalli where Agathiyar promised to open his eyes in my Nadi reading. He fulfilled his promise.
Surendaran Selvaratnam from Malaysia was invited personally to Pothigai Peak by Agathiyar in a Jeeva Nadi reading at Kallar. Agathiyar in the Jeeva Nadi reading called him over, telling him that he would personally give him a helping hand to climb and overcome the treacherous and slippery boulders. Agathiyar added that Korakar would accompany them, giving Suren the confidence to hike up to Pothigai peak. Surendaran successfully and safely climbed the peak.
Srimathi Nalini of Chennai went on a pilgrimage as directed by Agathiyar. She wrote, "In Jeeva Naadi (read at Kallar) Agathiyar ayya asked me to visit Pabanasam, then Agathiyar aruvi, Sadhu Krishnaveni Amma ashram and his moolasthanam at Kalyana Theertham. Next he asked me to visit Coutralam. He asked me to come to Senbagadevi aruvi."
Agathiyar promised her his darshan and blessing at Shenbaga Devi Aruvi, "Senbagadevi aruvi karai oram nan irukken en kugai undu en vaasi kol undu adhai un sirasil thottu vanagu".
Agathiyar has graciously mentioned the significance of performing pilgrimages, in Nadi readings for Viji Amma, Saravanan Kandasamy and others too.

He returned from the Himalayas in 1913 as Gnana Pitha Shivananda Paramahansa. In 1914, he went on a pilgrimage throughout India. He was in Pavanagar, Peshawar, Tirusoor, Savakadu, and Kadathanadu before establishing the Samapanthi Bhojana Sangam in 1921. Gnana Pitha Shivananda came to Malaya in 1937 and set up the Siddha Vidhya Sangam in Setapak in Kuala Lumpur before returning back to India just before Malaya gained her independence.
