I hardly knew my gurus. But whatever little moments I had with them were fruitful. I only spent five solid hours with my first guru, Supramania Swami of Tiruvannamalai, in 2003, where he spoke about himself, his gurus, and me. Yes. We had only met then, after I was brought to his village home, Achananthal, some eight kilometers away from town, on the pretext of charting the horoscope for my daughter, by his wife's brother, who was chauffeuring me around on my maiden trip to India. But he never got to draw up her chart, but instead talked about me, even mentioning the things Agathiyar told me in the Nadi reading. How was that possible when I never opened up about myself, nor did I tell him about the Nadi readings? The next time I met him was in 2005, when I spent the night with him at his Kudil. He brought his guru, Yogi Ramsuratkumar, who had gone into Samadhi, to sit in with us and chant his name. The next day, we had our meals at his village home before visiting a Vishnu temple nearby. Then I set off to Kallar Ashram to fulfil Agathiyar's directive to spend several days with Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal and visit several temples that Agathiyar listed out. Returning to Supramania Swami's Kudil before leaving for Malaysia, we visited Yogi Ramsuratkumar's Ashram, a rundown Siva temple, and Annamalaiyaar. Neither of my gurus had me sit at their feet and hear their discourses. Instead, they showed me miracles. Returning home, I shared my experiences on several websites that are now defunct. But I managed to salvage some websites, blogs, and posts. Here they are.

Miracles at Kallar
Agathiyar has been performing miracles at the Sri Agathiyar Sri Thava Murugar Gnana Peedham Thirukovil in Kallar, Kovai. What started as a humble hermitage by Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal on the instruction of Agathiyar, the Sri Agathiyar Gnana Peedham has today mushroomed into a much bigger ashram, the Sri Agathiyar Sri Thava Murugar Gnana Peedham Thirukovil Dhyana Kudil. Agathiyar instructed Tavayogi to seek Agathiyar Vanam and set up his hermitage. Therefore, Tavayogi found himself at present-day Kallar on the 9th km Ooty-Mettupalayam route.
Agathiyar instructed him to install the 6 Aathaara Peedham to be worshiped. This 7-tier granite structure was subsequently made and installed. When the Peedham was delivered in one huge piece, Tavayogi and the other devotees were figuring out how they were to haul it across the railway tracks and up the hill where the ashram stands. Agathiyar assures Tavayogi and gives a sign. They engage an elephant to do the task. Once at the top and in the ashram, they faced the problem of moving it into the meditation room. The elephant comes to the rescue again by using its trunk to push the Peedham in place.
Agathiyar sent local native aboriginal Indians to settle around the Peedham. The Government later built homes for these dwellers. Tavayogi started feeding these native children and donated clothing and stationery with funds from the public.
Tavayogi was then instructed to propagate and spread the teachings of the Siddhas to devotees in Malaysia and Singapore. Towards that purpose, Tavayogi made a few trips to these countries.
A peacock mysteriously appears at the ashram out of the blue on one fine day. Along the way, Tavayogi gets visitations from Siddha Konganar, Lopamudra, and Lord Murugan.
Tavayogi started conducting the Yagam or lighting of the sacrificial fire. Later, he was instructed to light five fire pits, and this was increased to 108 the following year on the instruction of Agathiyar.
Then a fiber statue of Agathiyar was installed, and another of Thava Murugan followed soon. The statue of Agathiyar was placed because the public could not comprehend the formless; they needed a statue to look at, focus on, contemplate, and touch. A devotee later suggested that Lord Murugan, too, be placed to complement Agathiyar, as Murugan was Agathiyar’s guru. Therefore, the statue of Thava Murugar or Siddha Supramaniar came to be.
Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyar, on her part, was told to bring back to Kallar a small granite statue of Agathiyar she had had made some time back under instruction by Agathiyar, and which was placed somewhere else. Watch the festivities and prayers at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAAdKAS-cI0
Then Tavayogi ‘discovered’ that he had a Jeeva nadi in his midst amongst the numerous nadis he had in his possession. He discovered that letters appeared in the nadi on their own. He was then instructed by Agathiyar to read to devotees who came in search of the Jeeva Nadi on Saturdays. Mysteriously, Agathiyar puts a stop to the nadi reading a year back. After a lapse of a year, Agathiyar has begun speaking through the Jeeva Nadi again.
Agathiyar then instructed Tavayogi to place a granite statue of him (Agathiyar) at the exact spot where he had appeared to Tavayogi in the jungles of Kallar.
A few days before the Agathiyar Jayanthi & Guru Puja celebrations on 31 December 2012, a sadhu mysteriously shows up at Kallar, bringing with him an unusual Rudraksha and hands it to Tavayogi with instructions to worship it as a linga.

Miracles by Sidhas
Agathiyar Grooms a Disciple for a Bigger Mission. When Agathiyar performs miracles through Molly Menon for all to see!
Just as we have seen the many miracles that have taken place at Tavayogi’s Ashram in Kallar, Agathiyar did perform equally magnificent miracles in the life of an ardent devotee. She is Molly Menon from Lakeville, Minnesota, USA.
Molly was an ardent devotee of Goddess Ambal and Karupana Samy. Each time she returned to her homeland in Kerala, she never failed to offer her prayers to the seven-foot-tall Karupana Samy, whom she installed in Chennai. Watch a video of the prayers performed here at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjL9vnPpxbk
She was an ardent devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba, too. Then she came across Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal’s website, which sent her reeling to Kallar at https://www.scribd.com/doc/156307011/From-My-Travels-in-India
At Kallar Agathiyar, through Tavayogi magically and mysteriously initiated. Tavayogi sent her away after her initiation. She went back to the USA only to return the following year (2012) to participate in the Agathiyar Jayanthi celebrations in Kallar. Watch the Jayanthi celebrations at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feW3LVVp5zk
Her tale is to be told, for it is a magnificent one. Molly used to share many hours with me on SKYPE even before she made the journey to Kallar. Her yearning for Agathiyar grew from day to day.
Her first wish to go to Kallar was fulfilled when there was a calling within her. After Kallar, her life changed drastically and dramatically.
She used to watch the prayers for Agathiyar at my home via SKYPE and very much wanted to participate in the rituals. The ever-compassionate father created an opportunity for her to do so eventually in India itself at her convenience. She did the rituals to her heart’s content. Her second wish, too, was fulfilled!
She was having severe leg pains that affected her mobility. Agathiyar sent Siddha practitioners to heal her. Tavayogi introduces her to Siddha Practitioner Dr. Ram Subramaniam. Her wish that her bodily aches should go away was fulfilled! Her third wish was fulfilled, too!
Feeling better, now she was able to go on a pilgrimage! She and the Dr. go on a pilgrimage to Ambasamudram and Papanasam. At Kalyana Theertam, she is greeted by Agathiyar and Sadhu Krishnaveni Amma’s devotees. She is invited into Sadhu Krishnaveni Amma’s ashram. Devotees of Sadhu Krishnaveni Amma bring her to the caves in the vicinity. Her yearning to see Agathiyar materializes when Agathiyar shows her his light form or Jothi Darisanam in the caves of Kalyana Theertam. Her wish to see Agathiyar was fulfilled! Her fourth wish is fulfilled, too! It is here too that a stream of light appears mystically from the sky, follows her, blessing her, and slowly makes its way to Agathiyar and Lopamudra, who are seated majestically on a chariot! Amazingly, this majestic display was visible only on camera! Watch her journey along the path of the Sidhas at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opbi_oNDgYs
Molly Menon had always mentioned that she would want to lay a mat and lie in my prayer room. Her wish was granted when ‘strangers’ laid a mat and placed a pillow for her to rest at Kalyana Theertam! The fifth wish is granted!
Sadhu Krishnaveni Amma’s devotees and Molly then set off to the jungles of Kalahasti to perform a Yagna. Molly is shown an amazing streak of light at the original Srikalahasti temple! Her sixth wish that Tavayogi should take her to all the caves and shrines of the Siddhas was fulfilled!
I had told Molly about how Agathiyar had opened his eyes in the granite statue of him at Vedharanyam and Courtalam and in the painting of Agathiyar in the home of devotees. While in Chennai, she is taken to a temple built by a new acquaintance, where Ramanujar opens his eyes!
Molly was sad that she had lost a gift that was precious to her, given by someone close to her when she was leaving the USA. The person she became acquainted with recently hands her a box, which, on returning home, she finds out to her amazement, contains a similar gift to the one she lost at Dallas!
She had told me she wanted to move house as her present home was not conducive to meditation. Then she becomes acquainted with a devotee of Lord Murugar. Amazingly, Lord Murugar provides for her to be in solitude through Balakrishnan Swamy Mn!
On 21 March 2013, Molly Menon informed me over the phone from Palani that a 200-year-old man knocked on her door. She invited him in. He gave a loud laugh and spoke to her about the mystical rudraksha in Tavayogi’s possession. He then asked her for a drink. Molly went to fetch him some drinking water, expecting him to disappear by the time she returned. However, he was waiting for her. He sipped the water and returned her the tumbler. He gave her a peck on her cheek on the exact spot Molly had kissed the granite statue of Agathiyar at Tavayogi’s ashram in Kallar. The statue is now placed in the hills of Kallar. He then left. All this took place in three minutes. Molly, out of curiosity, peeked into the tumbler. What did she see? There was honey in it!
She was in solitude at Palani beginning 7 March 2013, before Agathiyar instructed her to move to another spot of his at Kalyana Theertam. After a short stay at Kalyana Theertam, she is back in Chennai.
Miracles at Kalyana Theertam
Agathiyar Shows His Presence At Kalyana Theertam, Thirunelveli, Tamil Nadu.
Molly Menon from Minnesota, USA, made a pilgrimage to Kallar, where, without her least expectation, Agathiyar through Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal initiated her. She had planned to spend six months at Tavayogi’s Ashram but was made to return to the USA after a couple of weeks, missing the Annual Guru Puja and Jayanthi celebrations. She returned after a year to participate in the festivities. She made acquaintances with a Siddha medicine practitioner, Ram Subramaniam, who was introduced by Tavayogi. They together made a pilgrimage to Papanasam.
There started a trail of miracles and astonishment.
Just as Agathiyar reveals to his student Siddha Pulastyar that the Siddhas are in the form of Jothi, in the Jothi and as the Jothi, and as Swami Saravanananda says, “The body of such a Siddha appears to be a ball of fire or a pillar of fire”, Agathiyar shows a marvelous spectacle and reveals his presence to Molly and Ram Subramaniam at Kalyana Theertam.
Molly describes the event in her own words, “The latest clip, what you just posted...Miracles by Siddhas, I feel the words. Effulgence of light or streaks of beaming light can be used instead of the display of lights. Display means projection/presentation/something that can be seen and noticed...something very Ordinary... Effulgence of light or streaks of beaming light can mean...something Heavenly /Divine. This is just my Understanding Shan...”
Just see for yourself in the following photographs snapped feverishly by Siddha Vaidyar Dr Ram Subramaniam during the precious moments of revelation. Words would not describe faithfully this majestic Effulgence of lights posted at https://apps.facebook.com/tripwow/ta-075a-2e7e-ece1?fg=1.

Swami Saravanananda had a similar experience of witnessing the balls of fire while he was keeping night vigils in the Pothigai hills. People here called these balls of fire the luminous Siddhas - the bodies of celestials and advanced Siddhas. The local folks say the Siddhas come out to parade their form in balls of light after 11 pm daily.
