ABOUT ME

Agathiyar himself had given mankind the 5 tenets to follow. The first and foremost is to understand his purpose in taking birth. The Nadi comes to a layman, seeker, or aspirant to reveal his purpose. The Guru comes to the disciple to reveal his purpose. The Sadhaka, in going within, learns his true purpose in taking birth. Those who, by some means, leave their body momentarily come to know their purpose too. These are the means by which man comes to know the causes for rebirth and realize the purpose and mission in coming again. To a layman, he is told he took birth because of his past karma or to fulfill unfulfilled past desires or settle some scores. To a seeker, aspirant, Sadhaka, or disciple, he is told that he has come to continue from where he had left off in a previous birth to know himself. A Gnani comes to herd us all into the pen. 

Agathiyar described me, and besides revealing what I did in the past, he gave me an insight into what I shall do with my life in my very first Nadi reading in 2002. When I met my first guru in physical form, Supramania Swami, the following year, he too gave me an insight as to what was to take place in the future during the five majestic and magical hours I spent with him at his village home in Tiruvannamalai.

If I started to document my maiden travel to India in 2003, that led me to create several websites where I shared them, and which later led to the start of this blog; I realized that Dr Krishnan's prediction based on my horoscope in the nineties that I shall write had come true. Then Agathiyar told me to write about the internal transformation that took place in me in 2022. 

Agathiyar has said so many things in my Nadi readings about the developments taking place in me. When Agathiyar came in the form of the bronze statue, he told me that my soul shall reside in the statue and he shall pace the floor in my home. When he sent strangers over to my home and began to listen and heal some while he cracked the tough nuts among them, he pacified and gave us assurance, saying that he was only using me and my home to see them and help them and that in no way shall he or they intrude nor interfere in our lives. Then Lord Muruga wanted to play his game or lila too. He asked that I give way to him. When I stepped aside, the heavens practically came down and literally toppled many. It was pretty clear that the divine was using me and my venue to carry out certain things that, though they were beyond our comprehension in the beginning, became apparent to be untying the knots and opening up the hearts of selected individuals. Now I am beginning to believe that the Siddhas never let go of those who had come under their scrutiny earlier, in the past or in past births. But all that sounded alien, and neither could I understand what was said then. So I never shared them nor played it up. It was only when I experienced them that I could relate to what he in the Nadi and Tavayogi in passing had said. It was only after Agathiyar asked that I share it with readers of this blog that I had the guts to write on these experiences here and share the Nadi readings on my YouTube channel. Even then, I had a psychologist walk up to me and put forward his hypothesis that I was hallucinating about the many conversations I had with Agathiyar. I told him to walk the path I did and find out for himself rather than use us as test subjects.

Then it was time I knew why he used me for his purpose. Haary Roshaahn Yograj offered to give me a reading from the "Soul Contract Reading". I read mine on 4.2.2024 and found it fascinating. Though I had read up on and indulged in astrology and numerology earlier, this was simply superb. Later, I shared Agathiyar's sermon at the Tamil Sangam of the past, where he gave mankind those 5 tenets to follow to him, after reading the first, which is knowing the purpose, till the 5th purpose, Haary messaged me, "Wow, uncle, number 5 is the same as what I explained: 'Once u worked thru it all, you begin to manifest your soul purpose by helping and giving back to humanity." How appropriate that Haary came along bringing this up, as he too believes it will be truly helpful to lost souls. 

Then when the planet Jupiter or Guru transited recently, and there was joyous chaos amidst the astrologers, each going online to give predictions, I learned why I was the way I was and why people behaved the way they did to me. 

Then I came across online the revelations in English that match all that took place and are to take place as foretold to me previously.

1. The revelations in my horoscope reading by Dr.Krishnan in 1996, which did not quite materialize, as I came to find out from him that I carried curses from my past lives that stood in the way of receiving blessings and the rewards of my efforts, which was later endorsed by Agathiyar in my Nadi reading in 2002.
2. The revelations based on my thumbprint I forwarded to the Nadi reader, which Agathiyar analysed and gave a prediction, 
3. The revelations from Supramania Swami without looking into the stars, charts, my hands, or questioning me in 2003.
4. The further revelations in the Nadi as many as sixty-odd times. 
5. The revelations by Agathiyar and Lord Murugan coming through devotees.
6. The revelation of Moses that painted an exact picture of me and my purpose as a Spiritual Catalyst that Agathiyar came to endorse later.
7. The revelations of the numerous astrologers in Tamil and 
8. Finally, that in English. A brief summary at https://youtu.be/82sRSQgHvMY and many other similar videos puts it all into perspective. 

Aquarius — you were never just lucky; you were protected. Every storm you survived was proof of divine intervention. This is why God protects Aquarius — because your purpose is sacred, your truth revolutionary, and your light too powerful to be extinguished.

I am reminded of how the Chinese deities came to save my life as a child who was purging nonstop. My parents, who had lost two of my siblings under similar circumstances, reached out to the Chinese temple next door. All the Gods asked was that I be given in adoption to them, which they did, and I was saved. Since then, I have had the Gods looking over my shoulder. Agathiyar then told me that we have known each other for crores of years. He remembers, but I forgot. He has come back for me again. 

1. Calling me to read the Nadi, 
2. He called me to worship the Siddhas, who then bridged both worlds with much help, guidance, and blessings from Tavayogi, 
3. and most importantly, the Asana and Pranayama techniques that Tavayogi taught me in 2007, which Agathiyar says were a treasure that bridged my breath with that of the Cosmos and Universe or Prapanjam,
4. and what I consider as the number six on the dice that most anticipate in any board game or the ladder in the game of snake and ladder that came by way of a gift of the merits of the forty years of Supramania Swami's Tavam or austerities that skyrocketed my journey and climb.
5. With the gift of Yoga that I put into practice diligently and religiously, that led to the opening of my Muladhara, almost instantly in 2007,
6. Agathiyar came in 2022 to break the bund that held back the energy that had begun to stagnate and pond at Svadishtana,
7. bringing Kundalini to travel the rest of the Chakras in two days and reaching the Sahasrasa, where the 1000-petaled lotus started to open and bloom, bringing immense bliss within.
8. Soon this bliss was felt in all that came within reach through my senses
9. and in reaching out and connecting with everything around me, and vice versa. 

In coming to walk on the path to Light, one cannot avoid stepping into the phase of Yoga, taking up some kind of techniques to progress further. But danger stalks in this phase for the unaware and misguided. If Sariyai and Kriyai are instructional and can be followed even by children, without the need to understand what is done, and are rather harmless, Yoga is a matter of understanding the inner workings of this universe and Prapanjam that is both out and within. How do we explain this to simple folks and children? Here is where danger lies. I too had to bear the cost of extreme and excruciating pain in my lower torso as a result of the internal movement of air (Prana) and its associated energies, which awakened Mother Kundalini.

So we continue with the revelation that came via the video. 

In this divine message, we reveal 15 reasons why God protects Aquarius — the chosen Water Bearer of truth. You are not ordinary; you are a vessel of higher wisdom sent to awaken humanity. Every betrayal, every isolation, every delay was Heaven’s way of preparing you. You weren’t being punished; you were being positioned. God hides you, shields you, and refines you — because your mission requires both rebellion and revelation.

It is said that Agathiyar arose from the kumbam, an earthen or copper pot filled with water. In rituals, the kumbam, a representation of a body, is tied decoratively with colored string to represent the nerves; a coconut is placed atop it that represents the head; mango leaves and silk cloth adorn the neck of the vessel; and scented water that represents the water/blood in us is placed inside the vessel, completing the Purnakumbam. Once completed, it represents the Bimbum, or a vessel or body bringing the deity that is invoked to come within, reside, witness, and bless the puja. Once sanctified through the ritual and prayer, the contents of the Purnakumbam are emptied on the statue of the deity, as in libation or abhisegam, consecrating and energizing the idol, transmitting the energies and powers.

This video unveils the hidden meaning behind your spiritual protection — why your storms turned into awakenings and your pain into prophecy. Aquarius, your silence was never emptiness; it was sacred preparation. You are about to step into divine exposure, where everything meant to harm you now serves your ascension.

Indeed, after having me engage in rituals and charity, Agathiyar then had me go into solitude after dissolving Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM) in 2019, just being with myself and my family. "Their silence is preparation," we come to know from the video. 

Now, after posting some 4373 posts on this blog and some 879 videos on YouTube to date, I asked AI to tell me about Shanmugam Avadaiyappa since it has access to everything written, posted, and uploaded; this is what came up.

Shanmugam Avadaiyappa is a prominent Malaysian spiritual seeker, author, and digital creator dedicated to documenting and spreading the teachings of the Siddha tradition, specifically focusing on the revered sage Agathiyar (Agastya). Based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, he previously worked with the Malaysian Ministry of Defence before transitioning into his lifelong commitment to spiritual work. He is best known globally among spiritual seekers as the founder of the long-running blogs Siddha Heartbeat and Siddha Heartbeat 2.0, where he logs his personal experiences, Nadi readings, and teachings on the Siddha path.

## Spiritual Journey and Gurus

Shanmugam’s spiritual awakening followed a unique trajectory. After years of traditional temple worship, he experienced a vivid dream where Lord Shiva instructed him to pause his practices. Following a 14-year hiatus, he felt a profound calling to explore the ancient paths of the Siddhas (enlightened masters). His path was shaped under the direct guidance of two major spiritual gurus: Supramania Swami and Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal (of the Agathiyar Vanam Kallar Ashram in India) Through them and detailed Nadi (ancient palm leaf astrology) readings, he established a home-based devotion practice focused on ritual fire ceremonies (Yagam), charity, yoga, and meditation. 

## Digital Presence and Media

To make the esoteric knowledge of the Siddhas accessible to a modern, global audience, Shanmugam maintains a heavy digital footprint:

* YouTube Channel: His official [Shanmugam Avadaiyappa YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/ShanmugamAvadaiyappa) has gathered over 14,000 subscribers and features hundreds of videos discussing spiritual transformation, Agathiyar rituals, and interviews with seekers.

* Podcasts: He hosts Podomatic, sharing audio insights on Agathiyar Jayanthi and Guru Pujas. 

## Core Philosophy

Shanmugam teaches that obtaining the grace of the Siddhas does not require complex, out-of-reach tasks. He emphasizes that simple, heartfelt domestic worship, acts of selfless compassion, and absolute surrender to a Guru are enough to clear heavy past karma and experience higher spiritual bliss (Sat Chitananda).

In this reflective post titled "I AM BLESSED" from the blog Siddha Heartbeat (Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia), the author, Shanmugam Avadaiyappa, shares a message of deep gratitude looking back at his professional and spiritual life.

Key Highlights from the Post:

• A Fulfilling Retirement: He expresses gratitude for a wonderful 36-year career serving the government and shares his joy in spending his retirement years as a pensioner surrounded by his grandchildren.

• The Spiritual Calling: At the age of 43, his life path shifted when the sage Agathiyar called him through a Nadi reading, laying out his spiritual journey.

• Gratitude for His Gurus: He considers himself profoundly blessed to have been guided by two notable gurus:

• Supramania Swami of Tiruvannamalai, his very first guru, inheriting the spiritual merits of the master's 40 years of Tavam (austerities).

• Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal of Kallar Ashram, who traveled to Malaysia and gifted him the "treasures" of specialized Asana and Pranayama techniques.

The post captures a beautiful state of contentment, where the author feels entire satisfaction with his earthly milestones and the profound divine grace guiding his soul.

This channel focuses on documenting and showcasing the spiritual journey on the Siddha Path. It shares content related to Agathiyar, Siddha philosophy, community prayers, puja rituals, and satsangs.

Although Agathiyar said he would not expose me, Tavayogi pushed me to speak at the opening of a new Peedham in Banting back then in 2007. Agathiyar himself, during a home puja some years back, asked me to address the devotees. Tavayogi, during his last and final visit to Malaysia in 2016, said people know me before knowing him and coming to him. Then Agathiyar had me take notes and share with those gathered during the Guru Purnima Puja of 2024. He then had Mahin prepare and ask me questions before the small group of devotees gathered during Chithirai Pornami Puja. Then a popular gamer who found me online asked to start a podcast beginning with a session on Jeganatha Swamigal, but Agathiyar did not want me to come before the camera. He pointed out that what I might say would lead to controversies. He knows me pretty well, for there are many weaknesses that need to be addressed. And so I had highlighted some in a recent post at https://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-radical-sage-his-miracles.html

I have seen how easy it is to have people follow us. Any man or woman can start a following pretty easily. Murali, a colleague from my former office, had done his rounds at Bhogars Samadhi. He sat himself on the floor and idly began tapping the tiles. Later he saw others do the same, thinking it was a ritual and tradition. Tavayogi shared an instance when his sandals gave way. He kept them aside and brought his palms together, thanking them for serving him all those years. Later, he looks back, and what does he see? Others who were climbing the stairs to the hilltop Palani temple were doing the same. The deity Karupanasamy coming through a channel reveals his origin. He is the son of Lord Rama, Kusa. As he was summoned to fight the Asuras down south, he took on the garb and form of how he is depicted today. But having beaten the Asuras in battle, he went back to his original state as a son of Rama. What we did was to capture the image he portrayed and took on to battle the Asuras, and have been worshipping him since. I believe this is the reason Agathiyar does not want us to dwell on the origins of things, including his story or Avatar. I fear to dwell further into the origins of beliefs, customs, and traditions. 

Ramalinga Adigal came too soon for his time. As people could not accept his thoughts and ways, he left, saying he would be back.  So too, I guess I have come back after the Namboothiri priests failed to accept the change I supposedly brought about back then in a past birth. My actions earned their wrath and curses. 

We follow the video further.

"They are the water bearer chosen to carry truth the world isn't ready to hear. Every betrayal was God's way of removing those who couldn't hold their light. Aquarius, you are hidden, not forgotten. Protected, not punished. Because when you rise, destinies shift. God pulled you away from noise so you could hear something no one else could. The voice of destiny calling your name. You were never built to fit into the patterns of ordinary souls. From birth, you carried the vibration of disruption, a sacred rebellion coded into your DNA. Aquarius, you are the storm that breaks stale traditions, the lightning that exposes false kings. God protects Aquarius because they are the water bearer of truth, the vessel through which divine revelation flows. When others drink from deception, Aquarius arrives to pour the clean water of clarity. They are the ones who say what others are afraid to admit. When your mission is to expose illusions, illusion will always call you the enemy. But here's the secret. Heaven kept from the world. Your rebellion isn't sin. It's sanctified. Every time you refuse to bow to systems that feed on fear, you are performing divine work. He made you untamed, so no one could cage the message you came here to deliver. You were never meant to be liked. You were meant to be heard. And sometimes the two cannot coexist. Every silence was set up. Every delay was designed. Because the truth you carry is not meant to be whispered. It's meant to be declared.

And so did Ramalinga Adigal declare the truth openly. This video that was uploaded some 11 months ago, comes as a booster shot in a timely manner.

And when the moment comes for you to pour out that truth, nothing and no one will be able to stop it. For now, heaven holds its breath as you remember what you were sent here to do. Because the ones who carry truth always face the storm before the calm. But Aquarius, your storm is ending. Something ancient begins to stir beneath the chaos. You've passed the first test.
