One day Agathiyar dropped by my home. He called out to me. I stepped out of my house to see who it was that was calling out my name. There stood a man who looked very wise. Do I know him? I do not think so? Now how did he know my name? He began to talk about me too. I was taken aback. How does he know about me and what I had done? Here was a stranger who seemed to know me pretty well. He asked me to join him for a walk. I took a walk with Agathiyar. He showed me many nostalgic places of interest to him that he thought might rekindle my past. Sadly I was so dumb to recognize any. The veil in me was too thick for me to see through. But he never gave up on me. After returning from our walk he came into my home to help me with removing the veil of ignorance. He brought others to my home too, having revealed to them too about themselves.
After Agathiyar revealed about us, he tasked us with numerous assignments that brought us to physically engage ourselves, giving ourselves to the service of Erai and the pantheon of gods and deities, family and our ancestors, fellow humans, the animals, plants and mineral kingdoms. He asked me to carry out many tasks with others whom he sent to my home, never revealing its purpose or the fruits of our efforts till just some days ago through a text that I came to sight. I had bookmarked it many years ago only to see it now. It was a translation of a document of his disclosure of the secret of taking human birth to the seers and sages gathered at the Tamil Sangam. The document cleared the air and brought me to understand that we have arrived, quite unknowingly, to achieving our purpose and mission here. Agathiyar summed it up under 5 tenets that each human had to adapt and accomplish here on the face of the earth.
The first and foremost task for man is to understand his purpose in taking birth. With his purpose known then, he shall come to thank the divine creator or energy that brought forth his birth through consultation with the lunar forefathers and their angelic hierarchies that co-exist with us down here. With the constant showering of his blessings that come to us by way of living a purposeful, meaningful and fruitful life, the soul grows in strength gaining Atma Balam. Showing appreciation to the divine that gave us an opportunity to take birth again to sort out our lives, we then thank all the caretakers both seen and unseen, in the present and the past. With all their blessings and grace showered on us, there is an obligation on our part then to "dutifully aid and help, the ongoing evolution of all co-existing human beings." The final task is to extend this aid and help, towards "the ongoing evolution of all co-existing beings and entities, existing upon the lower levels of the evolutionary ladder, dutifully supporting the manifested matrix or prapanjam."
I realized that Agathiyar had tasked us with several missions and gave us many experiences so that we could comply with the desire of Erai for man and his kind. I have carried excerpts from this document pertaining to the 5 tenets translated by Vashisht Vaid into English and posted in his blog https://holysageagathiyar.com/. Mrs Srividhya Rakesh of Thedal Ulla Thenikalai (TUT) took the trouble to translate my post regarding this at https://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/2019/07/understanding-life-our-purpose.html into Tamil beautifully.
Agathiyar had prepared us well and brought us to a state of readiness. Upon successfully completing phase one of the journey, that Agathiyar took us by the hand, for the grand finale of stepping into yet another journey, that of the soul, Lord Muruga has come to lead us on further. On the onset, he asked for commitment and total surrender from us. Upon taking the oath of surrender he initiated us into opening our hearts. The second phase of the journey will be an internal one. We do not have any idea though how it would be, besides a few clues he gave, he has asked us to fasten our seat belts for takeoff into the unimaginable frontiers of the universe.
P Karthigayan in his book "History of Medical & Spiritual Sciences of Siddhas of Tamil Nadu", published by Notion Press Chennai, 2016, reveals, that during Dyanam, at its peak moments known as Mounam, Siddhas journeyed through unknown realms of knowledge and got answers for all unanswered questions revealed later by them as Jnana Sastras. Moving on and going into the state of Samadhi several times, they separated their spirit and traveled to unknown lands beyond the cosmos and worlds which did not support the physical body, acquired new experiences and knowledge. While in this state, they left their physical form in the custody of their disciples or hid them away from the eyes of strangers and wild animals, sometimes for decades.
P Karthigayan equates the Body to Earth; the Soul to the other elements water, fire and air; and the Spirit to the Sky. While the cosmos keeps renewing itself, the Soul that binds the body with the Spirit, takes on another body on expiry of the earlier. It is believed that we live in this body for a stipulated time after which the soul that carries all our qualities transforms into an astral body and either lingers around or goes through heaven and hell before it perishes leaving the Spirit to lead the astral body to take yet another body and birth. Throughout this reincarnation process, the Spirit lives on though.
As Karthigayan wrote, Lord Muruga too gave a hint of the journey that is quite similar to his revelations. The past comes to decide the form, material, and shape we take. The soul comes to take residence in it. The soul that is intrigued by the many possibilities of the physical body and the pleasures derived from its senses, is swayed towards it, falls into a relationship that is binding with it, ignoring the spirit that came bonded to it. We can equate this with Lord Muruga falling for Valli of earthly parentage when he had Deivayanai from the realm of the Devas all along. But Lord Muruga did not desert Valli but took her along in her original form. The Siddhas too had discovered a way to bring along their physical form to the other realms, without dropping it.
As P Karthigayan writes, "The body's actions are in fact the result of the Spirit's commands", Agathiyar on the onset of our meeting forgave me for my past actions telling me that it was all his doing and that I needed those experiences too. Although obstacles that we come across on our journey in life is said to be a result of our past karma, after the Siddhas take us into their fold, karma is duly absorbed by them. If obstacles persist after we take hold of them, it is solely their doing for know then that they do not favor our decision. The planets that are said to rule, dictate and take possession and control of our lives too turn to become our guide and gurus once we catch hold of their feet. All actions that the body performs can continue to be performed by the soul too, says Karthigayan, if need be, either alone or through another body. Hence the reason saints continue to guide after they leave their mortal frame.

At https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jan/05/buddhist-monk-cleaning-good-for-you we are told again that human birth is sacred.
Humans stand at the top of a hierarchy as the agent or messenger of the creator. The characters for “human being” in Japanese mean “person” and “between”. Human being is “a person in between”. Thus, you as a human being only exist through your relations with others – people such as friends, colleagues and family. You as a person have some particular words, facial expressions and behaviours, but these arise only through your interaction and connections with other people. This is the Buddhist concept “en” or interdependence.But we as always are never grateful or ignorant of our blessings. Vashisht Vaid reveals Agathiyar's lament on the state of mankind.
The great sage Agathiyar gracefully further added for the Tamil Sangam, that most of humanity while vitally living in their automated states of animated consciousness, thus foolishly waste the most precious cyclic time of their rare human birth, which birth is rare indeed among all other vitally manifested visible species [rupa pranis] of this physical world [bhu loka], as all of the established human species were given the most rare gift of an individualized soul [atama] with free will, to vitally act out as a limited power co-creator, through intellectual activities [karmas] in this physical world’s [bhu loka] of planet earth, and thus dutifully help out its evolutionary spiritual future.
But most human beings of all races, foolishly just live out their incarnated lives, by constantly indulging in the non-spiritual works, which are similar to those of all lower species, vitally having only animal life passions upon this planet earth, which all such animal life passions also vitally utilize the five senses [pancha jnana indriyas] of their incarnated forms, which under the gripping cover of vitally manifested denser material thoughts, vitally originate out of lower mind passions [lower mind passions related to three lower centers of Mooladhara chakra – root base center of vitality, Svadhishthana chakra – sacral or procreation center and Manipura chakra – solar plexus inner sun, originating source center of all fiery passions], and thus also get constantly operated upon by the five ray’s [panchama rashmi’s] of intellectual activities [karmas].Vashisht Vaid in his blog https://holysageagathiyar.com/ enlightens us on the sermon that Agathiyar gave at the Tamil Sangam that includes an explanation of the heart chakra and the other chakras.
The great sage Agathiyar further disclosed to the Tamil Sangam, that Rudra Agni is also the great lord of all Anahatha energies [the unspoken or unstruck universal energies] in the universe, which upon this objectively manifested planet earth also vitally corresponds to the heart center [Anahatha chakra] of the incarnated human form, which vitally existing in the vital body [Pranamay kosha] as the fast moving vortex of lotus petal shaped energies, which are formulated in their such lotus shaped petals due to continuous basket weave formative motion of the intersecting vertical electric energies of the cosmos [Antriksha], coming to this planet earth, which then upon entering the vital body [Pranamay kosha] of the incarnated human form, vitally interacts with the life controlling horizontal magnetic frequency energies of different wave lengths, which all vitally originating from the very center of this planet earth [Prithvi greha], thus formulate these lotus petal shaped energy appearances, to vitally exist in this fast moving heart center vortex of energy [Anahatha chakra].
The great sage Agathiyar also added, that this phenomena of vitality, which formulate the lotus shaped vital energy petals due to the different short and long wavelengths of intersecting frequencies, in the various centers [chakras] of the vital body [Pranamaya kosha], is thus true for all other chakras [circular vortexes of energies], which exist vitally manifested as the 7 main large chakras [centers] and many subordinate small chakras [circular vortexes of energies], in the vital bodies [Pranamay kosha] of all incarnated human bodies, and thus stay formulated as such during the entire tenure of their life cycle until death.In https://rosegardenyoga.com/2011/01/satgurus-and-upagurus-teachers-and-teachings/ we are told of some rare births who do not put any attempt at negotiating the road to freedom from the clutches of society, space and time. I believe they had put in all the work and toiled the fields in many previous lives of theirs.
The very rarest of individuals do not have to make any effort either through the various yoga practices (yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, etc.) or practices in another spiritual tradition to experience the fullness of consciousness unbound by self, or time, or space. The rest of us must engage in shifting our lives to align better with nature to experience the highest bliss of being. For this, we need teachers and we receive, if we are paying attention, teachings.As for us we shall work on it with further guidance from the Siddhas till they find us ready to be lifted into orbit. Let us stay with them.
