Besides taking us through the rough terrain of spiritual development, holding our hands tightly least we should slip and fall, bringing us to the state of devotion and bakti, he encouraged us to help the unfortunate too. Although it pained us to see the unfortunate rough it up in life, the act of giving brought much joy in us. We were grateful at having been given an opportunity to serve and give back to society.
Initially if we undertook these acts of charity to commemorate certain auspicious days in the Tamil calendar and the Jayanthis of Siddhas, today Agathiyar's children have come out to do charity irrespective of the time and day.
While some of Agathiyar's children serviced some families with monthly groceries, others cooked and took to the streets to distribute food to the hungry. We got to see some happy faces both young and old whose faces lit up on seeing us deliver the groceries. That smile on their faces brought encouragement to us to continue helping the poor.
We extended a helping hand to those refugee kids who seeked asylum in our country too, by providing rice packets that went into giving them a meal.
Neither did we forget mans best friend.
