https://blog.good-will.ch/WordPress/2010/10/23/rishi-agastya-a-little-miracle-and-some-stories/ carried a post mentioning a miracle that took place at the home of several devotees who pitched up together in an apartment. The girls had decorated Agathiyar's painting and offered prayers to him, a day after we had brought Agathiyar's statue at ATM (then AVM) to their homes. No one noticed the miracle in which Agathiyar opened his eyes, only one eye to be specific, in the painting of his till I received the digital copies of the shots taken through email the next day. I called them to asked if they saw that particular photo. No one did notice. The girls who were out headed straight for the Cyber Cafe and viewed the photos again. They called me back in the excitement that yes indeed Agathiyar had opened his eyes during their prayers.
Here is the particular post:
A friend sent me the following photos of a little miracle Rishi Agastya made some days ago (1st september 10). Rishi Agastya is a sage being with the earth since times immemorial. The first photo shows a poster of Rishi Agastya in the home of seven young devotees. In the second picture taken during prayers Agastya is then captured opening his right eye. My friend wrote: “He keeps an eye upon his devotees…” A rishi, being a “seer” looks inside, and from the inside out …
The puja held a day earlier on 31st August 2010 follows.
The same blog carried an interesting piece about Agathiyar.
Last week I came across a transcription of a seminar given by Sri Kumar in the Nilagiri Hills in 1996 about Agastya, Master Jupiter. He said that Agastya is very different in profile and in appearance from the other Masters of Wisdom: Whereas Lord Maitreya or Master Morya and Master Kuthumi are described as being of a tall stature, having long hair and a beard, Agastya is small and a bit round, radiating smile, of a golden-yellow complexion, bald-headed without any hair (unlike the presentation on the poster…), being dressed scarcely with a lungi, never wearing anything else. He has great, round eyes, is often traveling with his disciples and loves to cook and to serve. Through serving food he likes to spread himself into the people and thus to adjust any imbalances in the mental, emotional, and physical bodies. In his spiritual activities he never treads any trodden paths, but gives new trends and directions, being full of freshness. His live is always accompanied by will, spreading be-ness and presence. He is very humorous and his teachings are very powerful, but nevertheless humorous, thus uplifting the people.
In the scriptures there is the story that once a group of disciples in the Himalaya had the questions who is the one fasting most, and Maitreya told them, “It is Agastya, he never eats.” They wanted to see Agastya and went to him. Agastya said: "Observe me for three days.”
They were very surprised to see him cooking, eating and serving. He was not missing any meal, and every meal was from our standpoint very excessive in its quantity. After three days the group asked: "We have not understood your way of fasting.” He answered: "In so far as you don’t feel that you are eating, it is fasting.” He does not think he is eating. He lives in tune with the universal consciousness and in such a tune-up the food is given to all the elementals around him with himself as the channel.
From https://www.good-will.ch/pdf/e_lunar10_8.pdf we gather the same episode.
Lord Krishna once sent three disciples, who were fasting irresponsibly, to Agastya in the Blue Mountains to learn right fasting. Agastya said, “Observe me for three days. Then you will know it.” They observed him. He did not miss any meals. He ate mountains of food but he had a flat belly. After three days they told him, “We cannot understand you kind of fasting.” He replied, “I have been fasting eternally. I do not need food because I do not eat for myself. It is fasting if you feel that you don’t eat.” We think that we are eating. Agastya does not think that it is he who eats. He lives in accordance with the universal consciousness, and thus the food is distributed to all the elements around him, with himself as a channel.
There are stories about disciples of him, who were so much engaged in work for the Plan and did not have time to eat, did not become hungry, because the Master ate for them. Master CVV also provided rich meals, for the body should not be neglected. We should live a yoga which fulfills spirit and matter.
Normally, Agastya does not interfere with the evolutionary activity on the planet; it is guided by the ashram in the Himalayas. In times of crises, when the Hierarchy and the Devas alone cannot cope with the challenge, he cooperates and gives a push.
Amazing right? Just some time ago, Kogie from Johannesburg, South Africa asked me if Agathiyar has stepped on that continent? In this same piece of article, we are told that he had an ashram there.
Even though he represents a cosmic principle, he lives in a body of flesh and blood. While the other masters live in the Himalayas and in other ashrams all over the planet, his centre is in the Nilagiris, the Blue Mountains of South India. This, however, is only one of his ashrams. Another ashram is in South Africa, and a big ashram is in South America, which geographically is further south compared to the Nilagiris.
