Once Agathiyar delivered a message ahead of an individual's visit in the Jeeva Nadi to the late Jeeva Nadi Guru of Chennai to forewarn him of an ugly incident that was to take place at his home.
Just as Agathiyar had forewarned in the Jeeva Nadi, a man
appeared at the Nadi Guru’s house right on time. He could hardly walk straight.
The man inquired if the Nadi Guru read the Nadi. He then showed the Nadi Guru a small bottle which he held out in his hand. The Nadi
Guru glanced at the label on the bottle. It was a pesticide and was only
half-full. He looked up at the man and realized his mouth was frothing.
The Nadi Guru enquired what had happened to him. The
man replied that he had consumed the poison. The Nadi Guru felt a chill
go down his back. To the question as to why he came there, he replied that he
wanted to read the Nadi.
“What? In this situation?” questioned the Nadi Guru who was visibly shaken.
“Why not? Would not Agathiyar answer?”, the man replied arrogantly.
When the Nadi Guru asked that he immediately seek medical attention, he adamantly insisted that the Nadi be read. No amount of
coaxing would make him leave the place to seek medical aid.
When the Nadi Guru refused to read the Nadi for him, he replied that he only wanted the Nadi Guru to find out from Agathiyar if he
would survive or not?
“Just ask Agathiyar this question and I shall be on my way,”
he said.
The Nadi Guru who was now greatly disturbed made him sit
down and rushed to have his bath and prayer before returning with the Jeeva
Nadi.
“This man is a devotee of Lord Shiva. He came up the hard way
in life and made his riches in a very short time. He is married but does not
have a child. The relatives used this issue to separate the couple. He left his
home some time back without anyone’s knowledge. The families, thinking he had
died, are in the midst of dividing his wealth among them. He had traveled to
north India and now has sought me.”
The Nadi Guru told the man that he would survive.
The man replied that he did not believe it and to the Nadi Guru’s horror consumed the remaining portion of the pesticide.
“I have consumed the remaining poison, now how can I survive?” he challenged.
“I have consumed the remaining poison, now how can I survive?” he challenged.
He was out to prove Agathiyar wrong.
The Nadi Guru rushed to his prayer room again and returned
with some Palani Navabasana Murugan Vibhuti Prasad and Sandhana Kappu Prasad
that he had. He gave it to the man, asking him to consume the Prasad. Surprisingly the man
did as asked and began to leave.
As he left, the Nadi Guru reminded him to head for the
hospital immediately to which he replied, “Why should I? Agathiyar has said that I shall survive.”
The Jeeva Nadi Guru could not sleep the whole night long,
thinking about what had transpired that evening. He sat for prayers at 3 am and
asked to know if the man was still alive.
Agathiyar explains further,
“Moving about as a vagabond subjected him to a stomach
ailment. He had sought medical attention but was not cured. He seeked out
Siddhas in Kollimalai to relieve him. After taking these herbs, he was better
but not fully cured. Finally, he came to me. He had strong faith on me. Since he was a
devotee of Lord Shiva, I decided to cure him. But he resorted to drinking
the poison when he could not bear the stomach pains. The Navabasana Vibhuti
Prasad and Sandhana Prasad that you gave him cured him completely. The
Navabasana countered the poison and acted as an antidote for his stomach
ailment. Otherwise it could have led to cancer.”
