THE DIVINE LILA OR PLAY OF AGATHIYAR

The late Louis Anton Selvarajah who had worshiped Agathiyar in the form of a granite statue at his residence in Petaling Jaya was mooted to move Agathiyar to the Sri Raja Sakthy Nageshwary Amman Temple in Kampong Haji Abdullah Hukum, Kuala Lumpur where he continued with the rituals, before his sudden demise. Currently Sri Krishna and his wife, of the Agathiyar Universal Mission (AUM), have taken on the task of handling and making all arrangements to ensure the steady and uninterrupted ritual of performing abhisegam for Agathiyar is carried out.

Sri Palanisamy Aiya who had a similar statue of Agathiyar, handed him over to Sri Uva, after worshiping him in that form for 7 years. Subsequently Agathiyar was installed at the the Sri Agasthiyar Sakthi Nyaanaalayam in Taman Petaling, Kepong, as directed in both their Nadi readings.

Meanwhile Agathiyar at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM), who was supposed to go to the Sri Raghavendra Swamigal Mritiga Brindavanam in Ipoh, chose to remain at AVM. Agathiyar had me perform the homam and abhisegam or libation for him after his arrival in the form of a bronze statue in 2010. Every time I went for a Nadi reading, Agathiyar would stress the need to conduct prayers or puja for the betterment of humanity and would extol its benefits.

While Agathiyar asks that my family and I continue conducting prayers for the good of mankind at AVM, Sri Krishna and his wife have been directed to assist those who have to perform atonements or parikaram according to their Nadi readings. Since the directive, this loving couple have been taking devotees of Agathiyar to perform parikarams at temples both in Malaysia and in India.

Sri Krishna of AUM and members of AVM are in the midst of organizing a spiritual tour to several places scheduled on 1st May 2016.


Sri Krishna's uncle too was given a task; that of translating the Nadi reading for non-Tamil speaking seekers.

Agathiyar had mentioned in a Nadi reading of a staunch devotee, that he (Agathiyar) had created a Peedham or a spiritual establishment for him. The devotee had very much desired to establish and head one.

Another devotee was instructed to place a statue of Agathiyar in his home and to worship. But the last time I corresponded with him, he had yet to do it.

Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal, who desired to spread the teachings of the Siddhas, eventually started an establishment in his hometown. Later taking on the role of a mendicant or turavi, he finally arrived at Kallar Ashram, wanting to go into samadhi. But he was moved by Agathiyar to leave for Malaysia, a totally foreign place then. Subsequently he made many more visits to Malaysia.

We can never understand the divine play of Agathiyar and the Siddhas. But rest assured that whatever is happening is taking place according to certain divine laws placed perfectly in place.
