Agathiyar had dictated in the Nadi reading in 2007 that I pay my respects at Supramania Swami's samadhi on my next trip to India. I returned to India in October of 2013, after a lapse of 8 years. But due to time constraints and since I had promised to Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal that I shall spent all those days of my stay at his ashram in Kallar, I made arrangements with Jnana Jyothi Amma to spearhead an annadhanam at Thiruvannamalai. Jnana Jyothi Amma organised a superb event with the aid of Supramania Swami's family. The pinnacle of that event was when Ramalinga Adigal whispered to her that he had 'accepted' the annadhanam at Nerannamalai.

Day 9 of my very first pilgrimage to India happened to be the pinnacle of my journey.
6 am, 9th September, I left for Thiruvanaikaval temple in Trichy again thinking I could take a dip in the tank. But there was hardly any water in the tanks.
7.15 am, I started for Tiruvannamalai stopping over at Viradeswarar Temple in Tirukovilur at 10.40 am. I continued my journey to Tiruvannamalai 11 am.
I reached Tiruvannamalai temple at 1.15 pm. Deva accompanied me. I was at the temple grounds till 1.50 pm. I had a beautiful darshan, and pretty close one too of Lord Annamalaiyaar and Unna Mulaiyal. I performed prayers here, at the Siva Parvathi Urchavamurthy shrine and at Lord Murugan’s shrine. I saw the patala lingam where Ramana Maharishi had meditated. I left for the hotel at 2.30 pm.
The day was where devotees went around Annamalaiyaar. According to the Nadi I was to circumambulate Annamalaiyaar in the form of this hill on a full moon night. So here I was on 9th September 2003 in Tiruvannamalai. Full moon started at 10.47 pm and lasted till 10.48 pm the next day (10th September 2003).
At 5.30 pm I walked to the temple from the hotel. I joined the long queue to get another darshan of the Lord before embarking on the Girivalam. It was a long queue indeed for I only saw the Lord at 9 pm. At 9.40 pm I started on the Girivalam path finishing back at the temple grounds at 6.30 am on 10th September. I stopped over at the following places of worship:
Tuesday, 9th September
9.45 pm Agni Lingam in the temple grounds
10.40 pm Seshadari ashram, Amman temple, Dhaksanamurthy temple
10.45 pm Kali temple

5.55 am Draupadi Amman temple
6 am Durga, Anjaneyar, and Perumal temples
Finally Erathai Vinayagar temple at 6.30 am ending the Girivalam at the eastern gopuram.
I was hoping to come face to face with my guru at this holy event as mentioned in the Nadi, although Agathiyar did not mention the place and time. But I was not destined to meet him until later.
After lunch that day at 12 noon I went back to Ramana Maharishi’s ashram and sat at his samadhi. Later I left for Yogi Ramsuratkumar’s ashram which I did not get to visit earlier during the girivalam. Unfortunately Yogi Ramsuratkumar’s ashram was closed for lunch.
I then decided to go eight kilometers out of Thiruvannamalai to Deva’s uncle’s home. I was told he was an astrologer. I was blessed to meet Supramania Swami that day.
Agathiyar had me go on a pilgrimage of Hindu temples to perform atonement or parikaram. Agathiyar asked that I perform the circumambulation or girivalam last, before returning to Malaysia. I did just that. Later I found my way to Supramania Swami on the pretext, as I found out later, of having my daughters astrological chart written.
Swami told me he had circumambulated Annamalaiyaar the past 30 years but could not do it the day before as he had taken ill. Although he could not make it, he had Annamalaiyaar's darshan right from his home as Annamalaiyaar was fully visible from his home.
He was waiting to deliver my future. I spent 5 enchanting hours with him that I shall cherish forever.
In 2005, I was back at Thiruvannamalai with my beloved guru. We paid our respects to Annamalaiyaar up close thanks to Vimalan and Suresh who made arrangements with the temple priests. I realized visits to a couple of temples in the vicinity did not captivate him. So I suggested we go over to his guru's samadhi for pradosham, which he readily agreed with a wide grin. And so we were at Yogi Ramsuratkumar's temple. Supramania Swami spent the whole while just staring at the Shivalingam above the Yogi's samadhi, without even moving an inch. I was amazed and wondered what he saw throughout the libation or abhisegam of the Lingam and Nandhi.
Back at his kudil, when I questioned him why he had draped a gunny sack over the open window at his kudil, which was strategically located so that he could always have a view of Annamalaiyaar hill from his bed, he surprised me by answering that he could not look at the hill no more as it appeared as a fiery hill or Analmalai. He also mentioned that he could see all the Siddhas moving on the hill.
Supramania Swami went into samadhi at 10.20 am, on Wednesday, 7th February 2007 at his Kudil in Thiruvannamalai at the age of 65. True enough when I was with him in 2005 he mentioned that his lifespan was only 65. His son Ramajayam tells me he found Swami’s diary after his samadhi. Swami had written the exact date and time of his departure. This entry was dated 23rd May 2005. He had also written down how to attend to his body once he passed away. Although he did not have a following, mysteriously a Swami to whom Ramajayam served as a driver in Thiruvannamalai sent twenty sadhus from his movement to take care of Swami’s last rites. Swami was laid to rest the same day within eight hours of his passing away as requested by him (Supramania Swami). Although he had mentioned that he be laid to rests at the kudil, the Lord and his messengers decided to provide a better place of rest for his deserving disciple.
Agathiyar, on 10th February 2007, told me Swami had gone into samadhi at the right moment. He had been laid at the right spot and that his samadhi shall gain fame. On 24th July 2007, Agathiyar mentions Supramania Swami was the first guru I went searching for and that he was a true guru. Agathiyar asked that I chant Swami’s name and miracles shall take place in my home. And it did take place!
Agathiyar in the Nadi asks me to come to Pothigai, among others places. I was fortunate enough to have Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal personally take me to Pothigai (Kalyana Theertam & Courtallam) and all the rests of the places Agathiyar had mentioned in the Nadi. I shall cherish the magical moments I spent with my guru at this auspicious place and the rests too.
Tavayogi leads me to Kalyana Theertam
I understand Kalyana Theertam and Courtallam has changed since the last time I was there with Tavayogi in 2005. Sadhu Krishnaveni Amma has left her mortal frame. Dr K. Ravikumar had installed Agathiyar and Lobhamudra at Kalyana Theertam the following year in 2012.

When I was with Supramania Swami, he once mentioned about a miracle that took place at Parvathamalai, some 55 kilometers from Thiruvannamalai. Swami had gone to this hill temple to gather some herbs. Not able to identify them, he stood and pondered to whom to ask for assistance. Then came along a man he knew as a shopkeeper at Thiruvannamalai. The man asked Swami what he was doing there. When Swami told him his purpose on coming to Parvathamalai, the shopkeeper immediately replied that he knew those herbs and started gathering them for Swami. He left shortly.
Supramania Swami
Back in town Swami meets the shopkeeper again and inquires when he returned from Parvathamalai. The man gave an astonished look and replied that he had never stepped on that hill! Swami told me then that Shiva (Lord Shiva) came but unfortunately I could not recognize him.
This virgin hill grows plenty of rare herbal plants, which are not found in other hills except Himalayas. The visitors / devotees can easily smell the ‘Herbal breeze’ while going up or coming down the hill. It cures many diseases automatically. It is said that two ‘sadhus’ one guru Namasivayam and the other Guhai Namasivayam when they stayed on the hill accidentally cooked and ate an unknown herbal leaf (now known as ‘Karunochi – Siddha Medicine’) and regained their youth for ever.
Velayudham Karthikeyan gave me a gentle reminder that Lord Murugan's Pirantha Naal will be observed on August 23, 2014. Karthikeyan tells me that the Siddhas come together to celebrate this auspicious day of Lord Murugan at Othimalai, and stay back for 90 days to debate and discuss the next course of action to be taken for the good of humanity and the world. Devotees gathered together at Othimalai on this day will get to have darshans or realize their (Siddhas) presence accordingly to their karmas.
As Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal, Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyaar and my family traveled to Erode last October, Mataji pointed out to us Othimalai and a Murugan temple perched on it and explained to us the significance of this place. She told us that this place was mentioned in the Jeeva Nadi revelation by Agathiyar to a seeker lately, through the Nadi in possession of Tavayogi.

Agathiyar and the Siddhas have conveyed much to me through the Nadi. I would like to share with readers of Siddha Heartbeat, some of the Siddhas' expectations towards their disciples. For those well versed in Tamil can follow the audio of these Nadi readings at www.podomatic.com at the bottom of this post (Siddha Heartbeat Audio Player).
The Siddhas have touched on many matters among them:
On The Path Of The Siddhas
The Siddhas assure the disciples that the path of the Siddhas is THE path. They want their disciples to live the life of a Siddha and by doing so the Siddhas attest that their disciples shall live like Sivam too. The Siddhas ask that they live with pride on becoming a disciple and having chosen to follow their path.
Agathiyar's commandments were as follows:
1. Let the disciples establish themselves firmly in the path of the Siddhas.
2. Let them be faithful to this path.
3. Let God’s name flow through the breath of these disciples.
4. Let their thoughts be centered and revolve around the Siddhas day and night.
5. Let them receive and follow the advice and guidance of Siddhas with devotion.
6. Let them invite the Siddhas to their homes and make them a part of their family too.
7. Let them call out to the Siddhas when confronted with danger (And they shall be protected)
8. Let them admire the Siddhas and decorate them in the heart’s eye. (The Siddhas too shall decorate the disciples similarly)
9. Let them research into the reasons for taking birth.
10. Let them spread the Siddha teachings.
11. Let them never miss the worship of Siddhas at their homes.
If their disciples adhere to these commandments, the Siddhas are then greatly moved by the devotion of the disciples and promise much in return.
1. The Siddhas shall perform miracles just for their disciples. Visions and miracles shall take place at the abodes, caves and samadhis of Siddhas. The disciples shall witness miracles happen at their homes too.
2. The Siddhas shall appear to their disciples.
3. The Siddhas shall live in the disciples; The disciples shall become one with the Siddhas; God shall then live in their disciples.
4. The Siddhas shall show their disciples the path.
5. The disciples become a true friend and will be highly regarded by the Siddhas.
6. The Siddhas shall love the disciples as much as their disciples love them.
7. Once their disciples come to this path, others around them too shall follow suite. Family members and others shall benefit from their disciples associations with the Siddhas. The family and others too shall have the blessings of Siddhas.
8. The Siddhas shall care for their disciples and their families. The Siddhas shall grace their disciples' homes.
9. The Siddhas proudly declare that great saints shall live with their disciples. When the Siddhas are established in the homes of their disciples, then the disciples have no need to spend their lifes at any ashram. Instead the Siddhas shall visit the disciples' homes then.
10. The Siddhas shall tests the loyalty of their disciples occasionally but they will never let down their disciples.
11. The Siddhas shall witness and advice the disciples on prayers and meditation.
12. For those who follow their path, the Siddhas give assurance that their disciples' wishes shall come true. All the disciples' efforts will pay off. The disciples shall see much progress come their way. The disciples' aspirations shall be realized. The disciples' asking shall be granted.
13. The Siddhas shall provide the disciples the knowledge to spell away ignorance.
14. The Siddhas shall be present in the disciples' thoughts, word and deed.
15. The disciples shall realize joy and bliss each day.
16. The disciples shall attain a sweet voice, youth, and clarity of thought through prayers to Siddhas.
17. The Siddhas shall send their messengers to deliver their word to their disciples.
18. Their disciples shall realize the reason for their birth.
19. The Siddhas shall be a life long companion to their disciples. Just as the parents takes care of the child, the Siddhas shall take care of their disciples.
20. The disciples shall receive the grace of the Siddhas immediately.
On The Guru
1. The Siddhas ask that the disciples fulfill the responsibilities and dues towards their Guru
full hearted, without second thought and without mistake.
2. The Siddhas remind their disciples to choose the right Guru who shall lead them further on.
3. They remind their disciples to chant the name of their Guru daily.
4. They add that if that is not possible, to allocate a day in the week in prayer for their Guru.
5. They reveal that, Gurus come around so that their disciples shall know the truth. The truth shall be revealed through their Guru.
6. The Siddhas encourage their disciples to gain merits by visiting Gurus and places of worship. And they ask that their disciples be patient for the time will come when this transmission takes place.
7. The Siddhas promise their disciples, that they shall be protected from harm.
On The Nadi
1. The Nadi is a means of communication between the Siddhas and their disciples.
2. The Siddhas give instructions through these Nadis
3. All those who come in search of the Nadi have the blessings of the Siddhas.
4. The Siddhas tell their disciples never belittle the Nadi readings for it is sacred.
On Worship
1. The Siddhas ask that their disciples help finance the building of temples and other places of worship.
An excellent example is that of the Siddha Korakar who advised the presiding King of Tanjore, Raja Cholan to build a temple to counter the karma that he had gain when he went to war with the neighboring states. Korakar personally supervised the construction and completion of this temple known as Breehadeswar temple.
2. The Siddhas encourage their disciples to visit and pray at their abodes and dwellings. The Siddhas assure that happiness shall prevail in the lives of their disciples as a result of these daily prayers to the Siddhas.
3. Their advice to their disciples is that they need to be steady in their mission and undertaking even when confronted with people who shall shake their very faith. The disciples are advised not to heed these harsh and discouraging words but instead to carry on with their prayers.
4. There is much good in prayers, the Siddhas assure their disciples. All the disciples' problems shall be relieved step by step through prayers. They are reminded not to give up on prayers. "Worship Siddhas and attained much", remind the Siddhas. The disciples are encouraged to recite the Maha Mantra – ARUTPERUNJHOTI, ARUTPERUNJHOTI, TANIPERUNKARUNAI, ARUTPERUNJHOTI. The Siddhas asks of their disciples to recite the names of the Siddhas too.
Yogi Ramsuratkumar chants his name. He asks that his disciples chant his name too. The Yogi always reminded others around him of the significance of his Name. He repeatedly said, "This name Yogi Ramsuratkumar is not this beggar’s name. It is my Father’s Name. My Father has invested in this Name. Whoever remembers this name my Father will come to their rescue. Catch hold of the Divine Name and go on doing your work in the world. That’s enough. Remember this beggar’s Name, Yogi Ramsuratkumar. You need not do any other rituals other than chanting the Name Yogi Ramsuratkumar. If you remember this Name, you need not worry about your spiritual growth. My Father will take care of you. My Father will see that you will reach my Father safely.
5. The Siddhas request their disciples to chant Lord Murugan’s name too, for it is LIGHT. Bliss and joy is acquired by chanting the Lord’s name, they say. The Siddhas mention that they too are in the form of light in this world.
6. The Siddhas request that their disciples spread their teachings.
7. The disciples are requested to stay on this path. The disciples are to continue consistently with their spiritual practices that their disciples are currently following. They are advised not to get distracted.
8. Their disciples are encouraged to conduct research, continue the aforementioned practices, prayers, and rituals to their utmost ability without any error.
On Pilgrimages
1. The Siddhas asks that their disciples perform prayers at temples to appease the planets and to garland the Gods so as to please them.
2. The Siddhas encourage their disciples to go on pilgrimages that would help change their perception of God and through these pilgrimages come to know and learn more about the Siddhas. Some spots and persons which are a must (visit) are Thiruvanamalai, Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal in Kallaru, Thavathiru Rengaraja Desigar in Thuraiyore, Palani and Bhogar's Samadhi, Agathiyar's temple at Agasthiyampalli, and the caves in Courtalam, Pothigai and Sathuragiri.
3. The Siddhas assure their disciples that they shall wait with open arms for their arrival. The Siddhas promise that they shall receive their disciples and accompany them on their pilgrimages to these shrines, caves and samadhi.
On Yoga
1.The Siddhas advocate the practice of Thega Sudhi, and other breathing techniques (Pranayama). They say, preferably, these practices should be enhanced through their Gurus. The disciples are to practice meditation daily as a result of which they shall gain full concentration.
2. The Siddhas mention that the disciples need to just concentrate on their meditation while the Siddhas shall take care of their disciples' other needs.
3. To enable advancement in the disciples' practices and meditation, the disciples are requested to sit on a seat made of wood during meditation initially, to place a white cloth above it and to meditate for twelve minutes daily with eyes shut and the sight focused between the brows, chanting the Siddhas' names.
4. To progress further in their spiritual endeavors, their disciples are to meditate sitting on the Tharpai grass. The Siddhas assure their disciples that they shall receive great benefits from these practices. Their thinking ability shall improve. Their temper shall be gone. Their health shall improve. Their body shall become robust. Their disciples shall gain clarity. Their disciples shall see changes during these stages of meditation and prayer and shall attain knowledge and speech attributes and others benefits through meditation.
5. Their disciples shall achieve the highest meditation through the path of the Siddhas. The Siddhas assure their disciples that they shall gain all the Siddhis that the Siddhas and elders have attained.
6. The Siddhas assure that all their disciples efforts and practices shall not be in vain.
Supramania Swami too tells me all our effort shall not go to waste and encourages me with these words, "We shall continue from where we left. We shall keep on polishing until we bring out the shine in us".
On Food
1. The Siddhas recommend consuming pure, satvic and natural food and avoid excessive salt, sweet, sour and pungent attributes in the food. They advise their disciples to adhere to these requirements since when meditating excessive heat would arise in the body of their disciples. The disciples' bodies shall generate heat due to yogic practices. Since heat shall increase hence there is a need to take only satvic foods to counter the heat.
On Morality
The Siddhas remind their disciples to drop the following:
1. Do not worry.
2. Do not fear.
3. Do not be sad.
4. Do not cry any more. Weep no more.
5. Control anger (as temper shall destroy all merits gained through meditation).
6. Do not utter harsh words (as they shall take shape and so they warn their disciples).
The Siddhas encourage their disciples to engage in the following positive activities.
1. Do good.
2. Be joyful.
3. Be truthful.
4. Meditate.
5. Be compassionate.
6. Feed the poor and the animals.
7. Help the needy.
8. Do charity.
9. Live a life of virtue.
10. Disciples need to fulfill their responsibilities towards their families and their nation.
11. Be pure at heart (and their disciples shall be at peace).
12. They also say that, when their disciples are truthful, they shall face challenges. In those circumstances do nothing, and their disciples shall see bliss, they assure them.
13. They advise their disciples to take things one step at a time.
14. The Siddhas always remind their disciples to conduct prayers.
On Marriage
1. The Siddhas encourage their disciples to marry and carry out their responsibilities towards their families. They ask that their disciples walk the path to Godhead without deserting the irfamilies. The Siddhas never called for seclusion of oneself. On the contrary Siddhas remind their disciples not to neglect their families and responsibilities but to attend to both worlds, the material and spiritual.
As M. Govindan says, "They challenge us not to turn our backs on the world in our quests for spiritual enlightenment", Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal too told me once that it was not sufficient that I work towards enlightenment; I had to bring the family to the shores of enlightenment too.
These are the simple advise from the ever compassionate Siddhas. When the disciples adhere to these advise, the disciples shall see the results. The disciples shall see positive and clear changes in them. The disciples are assured that they shall see changes taking place.
A beautiful masterpiece depicting Sri Krishna with the Gopikas. Photo courtesy of www.exoticindiaart.com
For those who question why Sri Krishna is depicted with Gopikas, Agathiyar reveals the mystery behind Sri Krishna's play known as Rasa Leelai and clears the air in today's edition (17.7.2014) of Siththan Arul by Velayudham Karthikeyan.
Plainly said, what was considered unfinished business during Sri Rama's Avatharam gets done during his next incarnation as Sri Krishna.
During the Treta Yuga, when Sri Rama was wondering as a hermit, many Rishis yearned for Sri Rama to grace their ashrams. As these Rishis were engaged in severe austerities or tapas, they could not leave their dwellings to meet Sri Rama. Sri Rama on his part could not visit every single ashram of these Rishis. Sri Rama could only meet Agathiyar, Bharatvajar, and Sabari. Sri Rama too had to move on to Kishkinta, Sundara and Yutta Kaandams. Hence he could not grace the ashrams of hundreds of Rishis. These wishes of the Rishis became Vasanas and got attached to Sri Rama. Hence Sri Rama had to exhaust these Vasanas by granting their wishes in his next incarnation as Sri Krishna.
Although during the Yutta Kaandam, Agathiyar managed to bring along some Rishis with him to have the Darshan of Sri Rama and to serve him, but there were many more yearning for his Darshan but could not make it as they were engaged in austerities at Thandakaranyam. They were disappointed.
Agathiyar asked Sri Rama how he was going to satisfy their wishes. "Could you satisfy their wishes before this incarnation is over?", he asked. Sri Rama agreed that he could not do so before his time was up. Sri Rama was saddened that he was the cause of disappointment to these Rishis. Sri Rama realized that he could not meet them and sought advise from Agathiyar.
Agathiyar reveals to Sri Rama, "In your next incarnation as Sri Krishna in Dwabara Yuga, these Rishis who had cherished to have your Darshan and serve you, will take rebirth as Gopikas and through play and devotion and service to you, attain bliss and fulfillment."
"This is the secret (mystery) behind incarnations and rebirth", reveals Agathiyar.
அப்போது, அகத்தியர், "ஸ்ரீ ராமா! நீ சாட்சாத் நாராயணனின் திரு அவதாரம் என்பதை அவர்கள் அறிவார்கள். உனது அடுத்த அவதாரத்தில், துவாபர யுகத்தில் நீ ஸ்ரீகிருஷ்ணனாக அவதரிக்கும் பொழுது, ராமாவதாரத்தில் உன்னை கண்டு சேவை செய்ய ஏங்கிய மகரிஷிகள், உன் ஸ்ரீ கிருஷ்ணாவதாரத்தில் கோபிகா ஸ்த்ரீகளாய் பிறந்து உன்னுடன் தவழ்ந்து விளையாடி, அற்புதமான பக்தி பரவச நிலையை அடைவார்கள். இது அவதார இரகசியமாகும்" என்று அருளினார். (Source: Siththan Arul)
Hence the reason Sri Krishna was with these Gopikas is revealed to us by the most compassionate Agathiyar.
