If Agathiyar called me to the worship of the Siddhas in my Nadi reading in 2002, he showed me to Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal of Kallar Ashram, who was on the path of the Siddhas, to guide me as a Guru in the physical form in 2005. If Tavayogi showed me to Agathiyar, calling me to the worship of the Guru, having me celebrate Agathiyar's Jayanthi concurrently as Tavayogi held it at his Kallar Ashram, Agathiyar switched it for me, calling me to the worship of his Guru Lord Muruga, having me celebrate Thaipusam at his Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM) annually. In asking me to let go of him, too, so that we could be one, Agathiyar made it known to me who he was. Finally, he asked me to know the Atma and Sivam.
Speaking to Mahindren about building a temple if we ever decide to do it, he put forth the question to whom are we going to dedicate this temple? Agathiyar indeed asked me to build his temple in my first Nadi reading in 2002. Then, Lord Muruga, coming in a reading in 2018, asked for one too. Indeed, when Lord Muruga said that I would do it differently, apart from the six known forms, images, and names he carries, how and in what way can I show him differently?
Who are we going to place and in what form or image? If we have an idol of Agathiyar standing tall and majestic, someone might come around saying that it is wrong, telling us that Agathiyar was a dwarf, as if they have seen him, when Agathiyar himself points out to the Nadi reader Hanumathdasan a statue of him as a dwarf in a temple, telling him that he was depicted wrongly. Tavayogi, in having his statue made in fiber refered to the Siddha text and had him made six feet tall. At the same time, Agathiyar has me commission and make him in Swamimalai as a bronze statue in the image of his granite statue in Agasthiyampalli. Originally destined to go to the Sri Raghavendra Mritiga Brindavanam Kinta in Ipoh, he opted to stay in my house, coming into my home on 2.1.2010. My home took the name Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM) after he had several youths come by after their Nadi reading in 2013. Post pandemic, he told me that he wanted to leave for another home of a devotee whom he would identify to me. Then he switched and went to another's home and visited a couple of homes before coming back to AVM for good.
In all these years of worship to him and the Siddhas, Agathiyar went beyond his image, name, painting, and statue, showing us that he could come in many ways and many forms. He broke our hold on things concrete and gross. I had listed the many ways he showed up to each of us at different times in an earlier post. Intending to seek permission from Roshan, a devotee who frequented AVM in the past, I shared the post https://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/2026/03/do-choose-to-believe.html , with him, as I had carried his photo with Devi Ma of Bengaluru. She had him read the post to her and gave her blessings.
