A JOURNAL OF MY JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY 1959 TO 2020 - PART 3

The worship to the pantheon of Gods and Goddesses by our forefathers had borne fruit whereby generations that followed after them were given a glimpse of the mysterious and mystical world of the Siddhas and showered with their grace. Today we stand on the threshold of a new era, that of the Siddhas. In walking the path of the Siddhas, first, they brought us to know them better by having us visit their abodes that were the caves in the dense jungles of India, then to the temples where they showed their presence amidst the crowd of devotees. Soon they showed their presence in the daily worship we carried out at their homes. They began to uplift us both spiritually and in understanding the ways of life. They showed miracles after miracles that got us engaged and more determined to stay with them and pursue further this wonderful and amazing journey. And it all started with the worship of them.

The following are Nadi readings of mine over the years. The idea of sharing them is to make known how simple it is to travel the path of the Siddhas and to beget the grace of the Siddhas by way of worship to them. What was required of us was attending to their worship, they took care of the rest, including our inner spiritual development and advancement and the family too. The Siddhas promised a better future and a silver lining, both in the materialistic and spiritual world and sense. Although I have seen through much of what has been revealed to date, there are many other revelations that has yet to take place. Only the future will tell.

Watch Tavayogi demonstrate the Yoga techniques to disciples in Malaysia at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTjr12CUqQE&feature=youtu.be Watching Tavayogi do them, we were surprised by the volume of air that he could take in and belt out, compared to the shallow breathing of ours. After some time of practice, I too saw its effects. I realized the increased capacity in me to take in a larger volume of air than usual into my lungs and subsequently take in a larger quantity of prana that came to a heightened state where I sensed as if my body would explode. It was beautiful. I was told to stop the practice when I succumbed to severe backache back in 2011 by Agathiyar. Today he has asked me to resume doing it.

If Agathiyar brought me out from the confines and comfort of my prayer room to Kallar Ashram to experience life in an ashram, Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal brought me to experience his earlier lifestyle, bringing me along, to the open fields, dales, and mountains, the jungles, and caves, before he settled for the ashram life.
