We have come one full round in our worship. Beginning with the desire to light 108 Ghee lamps that was mooted by Bala Chandran of Thondu Seivom way back in 2015, we came to light 108 the following year too. In 2017 Bala Chandran desired to light 1008 lamps and we carried it out at the same venue at Batu Caves Murugan temple. Last year we switched the venue to the Sri Mayuranathar/ Pamban Swamigal temple in Dengkil. Bala Chandran wanted to light the Aganda Deepam together with 108 ghee lamps, following Selvam Aiya who lights the Aganda Deepam at his ashram in Marutheri, India.

During the last Guru Puja and Annual Fest at Agathiyar Tapovanam Malaysia, we lighted a single Aganda Deepam with the approval of Erai after the Kalasa Puja, Homam and Abhisegam for Agathiyar.
Similarly our prayers began with the recitation of the names of the Siddhas in the early years and expended to include elaborate and detailed songs appropriate for each ritual. Very soon we reduced the prayers that initially took us a couple of hours to only 40 minutes. Today we have reduced the time spent on external worship and begun to delve within in silence, learning to see the light within.
Our worship of the Siddhas has geared up going into the Fast and Furious stage, with many changes taking place in our worship and understanding of life. We are open to these changes that the Siddhas have brought upon us and brought us to adapt, knowing pretty well that whatever they dictate will surely lead us on to a better life, both materialistic and spiritual.
