AVM'S DAY TOGETHER


என்னென்ன செய்தோம் இங்கு
இதுவரை வாழ்விலே
எங்கெங்கு போனோம் வந்தோம்
விதி எனும் பேரிலே
காணாத துயரம் கண்ணில்லே
ஓயாத சலனம் நெஞ்சிலே

இறைவா ..
சில நேரம் எண்ணியதுண்டு
உன்னை தேடி வந்ததும் உண்டு
சன்னதியில் சனனம் வெல்லுமா
இறைவா
அன்பான புன்னகை செய்வாய்
அழகான பார்வையில் கொல்வாய்
நீ என்பது நான் அல்லவா விடை சொல்கிறாய்
கல்லாக இருப்பவன் நீயா
கண்ணீரை துடிப்பவன் பொய்யா
உள் நெஞ்சிலே உன்னை வாங்கினால்
கரை சேர்க்கிறாய்

வாழ்கையின் பொருள் தான் என்ன
வாழ்ந்து தான் பார்த்தால் என்ன
கதை சொல்கிறாய் பயம் கொல்கிறாய்
காலை சூரியனின் ஆதிக்கமா
பாடும் பறவைகளும் போதிக்குமா
உனது அரசாங்கம் பெருங் காடு
உலகம் அதிலே ஒரு சிறு கூடு
உன்னை அணைத்துக் கொண்டு
உள்ளம் மருகி நின்றால்
சுடும் தீயும் சுகமாய் தீண்டிடும்

இறைவா ..சில நேரம் எண்ணியதுண்டு
உன்னை தேடி வந்ததும் உண்டு
சன்னதியில் சனனம் வெல்லுமா
இறைவா

உள்ளிருக்கும் உனைத் தேடி
ஓயாமல் அலைவோர் கோடி
கருவறையா நீ கடல் அலையா
மலைகள் ஏறிவரும் ஒரு கூட்டம்
நதியில் மூழ்கி எழும் பெரும் கூட்டம்
என்னில் கடவுள் யார் தேடுகிறோம்
பொய்யாய் அவரின் பின் ஓடுகிறோம்
கண்ணை பார்க்க வைத்த கல்லை பேச வைத்த
பெருந்தாயின் கருணை மறைக்கிறோம்

இறைவா ..சில நேரம் எண்ணியதுண்டு
உன்னை தேடி வந்ததும் உண்டு
சன்னதியில் சனனம் வெல்லுமா
இறைவா

அன்பான ...



The lyrics of the above song expresses our current thoughts and practices into words and together with it brings a new insight to our understanding and realization. We can relate to this song. Several verses from this song reminds me of Tavayogi's speech many years ago. 




The past month was a period of uncertainties where Tavayogi who went to check why his fever did not subside even after a few days had passed, was told that that he had coronary artery disease and was operated on promptly, recovered only to lapse into a state of worry. AVM placed prayers at the feet of Agathiyar asking that he should be with Tavayogi and see him through his period of ordeal and prayed that Tavayogi should return back to his ashram to continue his service to Erai and humanity.  But sadly, one day he would be fine and the next day his health  was reported to be deteriorating. When there was a time where I accepted the fact that we were about to lose him and was prepared to let him go, I began to console the others too, "We have to be calm at this moment in time. Let things take its course. We have prayed hard but who knows what Tavayogi's soul wanted? Who knows what's the deal between him and Agathiyar? Pray that Agathiyar is at his side taking care of all matters." That is when many from the AVM family called in pleading and asking that he be with us longer. 

Even in these moments of anxiety, I saw blessings being showered on us. Tavayogi seeked medical attention at the right moment and was attended to immediately by a wonderful team of doctors. Mataji was at his bedside caring for him since day one. Mataji carried out her service to the Guru with responsibility and dedication, a task that was placed on her shoulders by Agathiyar through her Nadi reading way back in the days of her coming to know Tavayogi. Agathiyar had assigned her to take care of Tavayogi and in return Agathiyar promised her liberation or mukthi. Agathiyar must have foreseen this day. Thavathiru Kumarsamy Aiya of the Agathiyar Ashram in Anuvavi, visited Tavayogi to extend help. Dr Subashini of Chennai, made a day trip to Coimbatore to visit Tavayogi. Nirmala from AVM visited him at the hospital, carrying our prayers with her. 

Once back at the ashram, many who knew him visited him. Acharya Gurudasan flew in from Bangalore, and represented us by paying a visit to Tavayogi carrying our message of concern and best wishes. Tavayogi is recovering well and he informs us that the Agathiyar Jayanthi and Guru Puja prayer scheduled for January 4 will go on as usual but on a modest scale.

AVM had planned sometime back to come together to give thanks to Erai for his unfailing attention and care on all his children. The event took place yesterday with a very good turnout. A day before the event, Agathiyar surprised me with a reading in which he discloses again to our surprise, that the Siddhas had come together to conduct a Yagam so that Tavayogi would sail through the trying times and come out of his life threatening condition! The Siddhas saved him and extended his life span, hence answering our prayers. The most compassionate father listened to our prayers. Although he put us through this brief period of anxiety and worry, he took measures accordingly, to fulfill the wishes of the numerous wonderful souls who came together for him in the light of this unexpected turn of events, in his time of need, in prayer and through monetary and other assistance.

Agathiyar also reminded me to be thankful to others for all our achievements in life. What an appropriate timing of events! We at AVM thanked Agathiyar and the Siddhas for all their blessings, care and protection, and for helping many recover from their illness, helping them come out of their problems, and for saving Tavayogi's life. We joined hands in a moment of silence and contemplation that was energizing led by Master Arunan and Master Uva.




The AVM family was given a sneak preview of the audio CD album that is in the making, a compilation of songs of praise on Agathiyar. This venture in collaboration with a local recording company has received positive views and funds too from devotees of Agathiyar both in Malaysia and abroad.

Thank you everyone.
