THE CATALYST

Many have written to me telling me that they happened to come across this blog which started off their journey and travels seeking the Siddhas. Similarly, I am obliged to Velayutham Karthikeyan Aiya and his blog Siththan Arul at http://siththanarul.blogspot.com, which changed the perspective that we had on the Siddhas. Just as Suren who is currently at work in Indonesia, said moments ago over the phone, we agreed that prior to the revelations of the famed Nadi Reader of Chennai, the late Hanumathdasan Aiya, which his buddy Velayutham Karthikeyan Aiya carried in its entirety, we only knew very little of Agathiyar mostly as depicted in the Tamil movies. The layman like us could hardly comprehend the songs of the Siddhas much less adopt what was said. But the most compassionate Agathiyar came to our aid, using Hanumathdasan and the Nadi to guide people. Many secrets were revealed along the way. I am thankful to both these gentlemen for bringing forth and making public the many episodes from the lives of simple folks like us who having exhausted all means to survival and disease, stood at the doorstep of the Nadi reader.

Read about these miraculous stories that Sitthan Arul carried, which I had the privilege to translate in my book Fire of Devotion", available for download at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jCMasLnaBpZi4QsLsbBVADZziqDOU6He/view?usp=sharing, and carried on my blog too, having gained prior consent from Velayutham Karthikeyan Aiya.

Jnana Jhoti Amma purchased the full set of books published by one Shankar Aiya, that I requested for, and did meet the publisher too. These stories were like energy boosters for us who were then searching to know the Siddhas. Today we can safely say that we too have a fair share of stories and miracles that we could share with others seeking to know. Most of it is carried in these pages. Several others are kept under tight wrap till the green light is given by Agathiyar.
