When Agathiyar surprised me in my very first Nadi reading asking me to build a temple for him I was elated and on cloud nine. But the young 24-year-old Sivabalan who brought the Nadi reader over dashed the momentary joy of this 43-year-old telling me that I was not special as Agathiyar had asked this of 50 others previously. But he consoled me asking me to do what others never did. But as the existing temple committees did not support this venture I dropped the idea of building a shrine and installing Agathiyar in their premises. Then when Supramania Swami ventured to build a temple for Lord Muruga in Tiruvannamalai and asked for assistance we chipped in and built a kudil for a start for him to stay and monitor the progress of the temple. Strangely a stranger drops by and halts the project asking Swami why he was going back to Bakthi being himself a Gnani. Then when Tavayogi initiated the move to build a temple for Agathiyar and an ashram we saw through it. I told myself that I had obliged and fulfilled Agathiyar's wishes regardless of whether I built a temple or my gurus did it. Then in 2018 Lord Muruga came in a Jeeva Nadi reading asking for a temple for him! When thoughts ran in my mind as to why he needed another temple as he had so many to his credit, Lord Muruga, as if reading my thoughts tells me that I shall show him differently. How was that to be, I asked myself? Seeing no action on my part, he sends Agathiyar who comes through a devotee telling me and my wife that he shall see to the building of the temple in 18 months. In September 2019 when I was asking myself why there was no sign of the temple as promised by Agathiyar, he called me up for an Aasi Nadi reading and revealed that they had tested me. I apparently passed the test by ignoring the call to build a temple. He adds further that my home had been accepted as Lord Murugan's temple and abode.
When Agathiyar in June of 2023 told me that henceforth he would leave AVM for the home of a devotee, I began packing his luggage and prayer things and waited eagerly for the day he would announce his next residence. I had no issues with sending his bronze statue away for we knew he was with us in our home and our hearts. Another reason we agreed to pass the care of his statue to another was that he told me the day he left for their home, he would bring in the Prapanjam to reside at AVM. Today seeing the shedding of all things we held dear to our hearts and the changes and modifications we brought to the worship, that even heads of missions whom I spoke to dared not change nor touch for fear of going against time-held tradition and the guru's words and practice, I understand what Lord Murugan meant that day. We made breakthroughs bringing on a new wave of practice and thoughts at AVM. AVM is for those who dare break the rules. Nothing of this nature has happened elsewhere. Agathiyar in coming back home to AVM this year bringing along Lobama with him after he "picked" her up at the devotee's home, made us carry out our 60th wedding, making me realize the fact that he has not carried out the 60th wedding which he directed be done and came to see it through, for another in this path. We are blessed indeed.
