If once upon a time (2002) Agathiyar told us that birth and the parcel of joy and sorrow we brought with us was because of our past Karma, after some 22 years he tells us that everything taking place was his doing. He has completely taken over our lives. He is ruling it. Though we are making decisions and acting accordingly, he is pretty much in charge. But at the end of the day, he asks us what we have learned from all that has taken place. If previously we looked up to him for his approval and blessings in all our endeavors, now he tells us to go ahead and he shall support all our moves.
When his devotees would be celebrating his Jayanthi fest all over tomorrow it is rather quiet at AVM. He has not asked us to carry it out. Previously when Tavayogi initiated me to carry out the celebration on a smaller and modest scale in my home coinciding with the lighting of the Yagam at his Kallar Ashram, Agathiyar came along to move the date for us to Thaipusam. But since 2019 he has asked us to drop it all.
