Coming to the path of the Siddhas and journeying with Agathiyar, he brought me to have his statue made in his form as in Agasthiyampalli and worship. Along the way, a veteran on this path who was running an ashram in a neighbouring state and who had some thirty students under him, picked up an argument with me putting down idol worship quoting Sivavakiyar's songs. We parted on a negative note. Soon Agathiyar proofed to us that a statue could become alive if we had sufficient faith in Erai.
My family and I had just arrived at Trichy airport and were received by Jnana Jhotiamma on arrival. She had completed serving food or anadhanam to some 1000 people including the sadhus and the poor on the girivalam path at Tiruvannamalai that morning. She had helped me fulfill Supramania Swami's last wish to feed a thousand souls before he departed.
Coming to Kallar ashram together with us, she returned to Chennai the same day. Having spent some wonderful five days with Tavayogi and Mataji, we returned to Malaysia. Jnana Jhotimamma followed on the heels, the same day we arrived back in Malaysia. She spent three days with us. It was during this period of her visit that Agathiyar magically opened his eyes during libation or abhisegam as seen in the photo snapped by my daughter. Yes the stone does see, the stone does talk too.
