Watching the video THAIPOOSAM - ON THE TRAILS OF AANDI - THE RUNAWAY GOD, reminded me of the moment Lord Muruga did a miracle similar to the many that devotees share in this video. Just as these devotees left their homes to go on a pilgrimage, walking the mile, my late father too left his hometown in Kilsevalpatti, Sivagangai district, to go to Palani. As the walk took days and nights, suddenly a pack of stray dogs surrounded him, ready to attack him. He called out for Lord Muruga to save him. To his surprise, a bee appeared from nowhere and entered the ear of one of the dogs. When it yelped in pain, the rest of the pack ran away. My father was saved.
When my daughter was studying at the university, she had to walk some distance to meet her friend staying in another block, and as night fell, she could not help noticing a magpie follow her and keep her company. On another day, as she had to head for a hall for an event, a magpie landed some distance before her and hopped up each and every stair that led to the hall. When she was in Korea for a student exchange program, a magpie kept her company. Later, Lord Muruga came and acknowledged that he had kept an eye on her.
How is all this possible?
For the Gods, it is as easy as erasing our fate and painting a new destiny. They paint a new picture of us. And so Mahindren used AI to create a picture of himself. Seeing that his wife asked for one. Speaking to them regarding their pictures, they wanted to have a go at using AI on my photo too. It was just astonishing to see the end product.
If many see giving food as the highest form of charity and take it up, but for the admind of the YouTube channel "Increasing Frequency", when he is asked "How are you feeling sir?" when he joins in feeding the devotees doing the circumambulation of Arunachala, he replies that "I feel that I'm feeding myself, you know when I'm playing the role of feeding the others and I am just feeding myself. And this is so heart-filling when you connect to the divine source that creates all the beings while experiencing different layers, different perspectives." This is exactly what Agathiyar says of feeding. From https://blog.good-will.ch/WordPress/2010/10/23/rishi-agastya-a-little-miracle-and-some-stories/ we read an interesting piece of information about how Agathiyar fed the elements by serving people food.
Last week I came across a transcription of a seminar given by Sri Kumar in the Nilagiri Hills in 1996 about Agastya, Master Jupiter. ..... He has great, round eyes, is often traveling with his disciples, and loves to cook and to serve. Through serving food he likes to spread himself into the people and thus to adjust any imbalances in the mental, emotional, and physical bodies. In the scriptures, there is the story that once a group of disciples in the Himalaya had the questions who was fasting the most, and Maitreya told them, “It is Agastya, he never eats.” They wanted to see Agastya and went to him.
Agastya said, "Observe me for three days.” They were very surprised to see him cooking, eating, and serving. He was not missing any meal, and every meal was, from our standpoint, very excessive in its quantity. After three days, the group asked, "We have not understood your way of fasting.” He answered: "Insofar as you don’t feel that you are eating, it is fasting.”
He does not think he is eating. He lives in tune with the universal consciousness, and in such a tune-up, the food is given to all the elementals around him, with himself as the channel.
