Today is a special day. Bala Chandran Gunasekaran reminded us through his post on fb.
Today was the day two years back, on 17 October 2013 when Agathiyar opened both his eyes and blessed us all during abhisegam or libation, through his bronze statue at AVM.
My family and I had just returned to Malaysia after a brief visit of five days at Kallar Ashram. We arrived at 6 am on 16.10.2013 to have Jnana Jyothiamma arrive in the evening the same day from Chennai for a short four day visit to AVM.
We conducted the usual Thursday prayers (Guru Naal) on 17 October 2013. Surendaran Selvaratnam, Bala Chandran Gunasekaran and his sister Bala Jhothy joined us. That night after the puja, my daughter ran down the steps to us with excitement and passed me her phone without uttering a word. To our amazement Agathiyar had his eyes open in a photo that she took earlier during the libation!
Agathiyar amazed me the very first time when he opened his left eye in the granite statue of his at Agasthiyampalli, Tamilnadu as he had promised in the Nadi. That was on 24 September 2005.
After a couple of days on 26 September Agathiyar performs the same miracle, this time unannounced, at his shrine behind Kutraleswar in Kutralam. This time he opened both his eyes, and they looked human and natural. I had not anticipated these miracles and did not reach for the camera to snap a photo on both these occasions.
Back home in Malaysia later, he opened his eyes in a painting of him during puja at home.

Agathiyar from AVM who went to the home of nine girls including Navarani, Rajes and Saras who invited him over to their home, opened his eyes to bless them during their prayers some time later.

Agathiyar opened his eye again during puja at Surendaran's home and confirmed that this miracle happened in his subsequent Nadi reading.
