They had journeyed together, not only in this birth but throughout several past births. They joined hands to serve Agathiyar and his devotees and to spread the Siddhas fame. Meet Sri Krishna and his wife Sri Dewi. Together with their teenage daughter and a toddler they travelled from temples to peedhams serving Agathiyar.
Sri Krishna had been exposed to the teachings of the Siddhas as early as a student and a teen when Nadi readers used to occupy his uncle's home and provided readings to the public. Since his parents demise, Sri Krishna was brought up by his uncle, hence began his journey on the Siddha path.
Soon he began to translate the Nadi readings in English for non-Tamil speaking clients. The couple took them on pilgrimages and tours specifically drafted to conduct remedies for these clients.
They learnt Siddha medicine, its preparation and its application, and soon prepared these medicines for consumption.
They picked up Yoga and began to teach students and others.
They helped organize many forums and conferences related to the Siddhas.
Finally Agathiyar brought them to perform his libation or abhisegam at his temple at Eco City.
Today they have begun to revive all the programs that had been stalled and brought to a halt due to the hands of destiny and fate, for some 4 1/2 years when they met losses and hardship. I wonder if I could have withstood the amount of hardship that they had gone through. It was truly a test of their faith and belief, devotion, perseverance and patience. They came through it fine, seeking shelter in the comforting arms of the most compassionate father, Agathiyar, through trying times.
They have initiated some new programs too including the noble act of feeding; feeding those on the streets and homeless through their "Pothigai Meals on Wheels" programs; feeding students in schools that hold extra classes and have longer hours, and teaching simple Yoga lessons for the elderly.
It has been an amazing journey for this couple having to go through ups and downs, taken through hell on earth, beaten and molded so that they could shine.
Siddha Heartbeat honors Sri Krishna and Sri Dewi in the service to Agathiyar.
