Nadi Nool Aasan Thamaraiselvan Ramaiya Aiya reads and explains the 5th Kaandam of Agathiyar's 12000, one of Agathiyar’s many works, where Agathiyar advises his student Pulastya on the shortcomings of the Age of Kali and shows a way out to his student.
Receiving these secrets from the Aswini Devas, Agathiyar narrates what will take place in the Kali Yuga, which is exactly what we are seeing happening around us today. Agathiyar explains that it is the nature of Kali Purushan to keep us engaged in Maya or illusion. The qualities of Kali Purusha enters into man and takes control of him, causing him to act as he dictates. Hence man caught unaware, falls for it. All these is not the making of man but that of Kali Purusha taking the upper hand, entering into his heart and making him do it.
His constant reminder for those on his path, has been to never give in to Kali Purusha; not to be tricked by him, and not to fall for his lure and antics.

Agathiyar shows his students a way out. He advises his students not to fall prey, not to be trapped, and not to fall for the play of Kali Purusha but to safeguard oneself by taking hold the holy feet of Sadasiva, keeping him in our thoughts daily. He asks us to worship Sadasiva daily, keeping his holy feet close to our chest and in our thoughts. That is the only way to escape the grasp of Kali Purusha.
Although God is in Chinmaya which is in turn within us, Agathiyar advises us to worship in our own way; not having the need to follow another or be envious of others talents or their ways and most importantly not to follow like a sheep.
Agathiyar says take Gnana Paal and Shiva Kathi; take the Holy Feet of Shiva, on the path of Pathi Marga and Guru Marga; worship light or jhothi, what was to become Ramalinga Adigal's stand too many years later; to reach the state of Saloga, residing with Shiva.
Finally Agathiyar tells us that the Nathakkal had veiled many things due to Kali Purusha's doing. But the most compassionate father Agathiyar exposes Kali Purusha to us.
