SIDDHA HEARTBEAT - 2 YEARS AFTER

What started as a venue to store my artwork, later took shape as a journal after my return to Malaysia on completion of my maiden pilgrimage to India. Although I had been maintaining several websites since 1990's, I started blogging only recently. On Sunday, 28 July 2013, I posted my first post on Siddha Heartbeat. It has been almost 2 years now - a beautiful and fulfilling 2 years.

We started Siddha Heartbeat with a bang just like in the Bond movies, carrying the miraculous story, Agathiyar Shows His Presence At Kalyana Theertam, Thirunelveli, Tamilnadu, the story of Jnana Jyothiamma's travel to Kalyana Theertam and the play of lights that followed subsequently. 

We managed to upkeep the tempo till the present moment, thanks to the many contributions from friends out there and with the grace of Agathiyar, the Siddhas and Erai. This blog was started to serve as An Avenue that Showcases the Workings of the Siddhas and I believe has lived true to this tag line and fulfilled its purpose.

Amazing and mysteriously we managed to sustain writing this blog with friends sharing their experiences on the path of the Siddhas, providing interviews and all other material deemed fit to be included. They took time to snap photographs and record videos during their many visits to India. Many friends have also contributed extensively by sharing their experiences on film. These videos have been posted on YouTube. Podcast and other suitable videos have been posted too. They have contributed numerous digital compositions too.

Many have come together to bring out this blog and help sustain it, the past 2 years. Among them:

My daughter Vimala created a beautiful header for this purpose.

Stalin R has painstakingly provided posters announcing the live streaming of the Puja held at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia, regularly.

Bala Chandran Gunasekaran has many digital compositions to his honor too.

Saravanan Palanisamy who has been illustrating for Sri Velayudham Karthikeyan's blog Siththan Arul has contributed to Siddha Heartbeat too. He has coined a poem "Agathiya Vanam Amarntha Perumaane" in praise of Agathiyar at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia too. Mahindran too has a song to his credit.

Saravanan presented Agathiyar at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia in ink too.

My daughter Praba too has put her talent together to assemble Agathiyar in all his decorations.

Surendaran Selvaratnam, Gowri R Varadhan, Mr & Mrs Balachander too have contributed extensively through the numerous Satsangs held at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia. 

I wish to thank these kind souls for their contribution to Siddha Heartbeat making it more beautiful. I pray that they would continue to extend their talents and share their experiences to make this blog even better.

Siddha Heartbeat thanks Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal, Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyaar, and Jnana Jyothiamma for all the news that we carried the past 2 years. We thank the Nadi Nool Aasan Sentilkumar, T.Ramesh, T.Kalai Mani, and Selvam for their exhaustive Nadi readings.  We thank Sri Velayudham Karthikeyan, administrator of Siththan Arul for posting the many engaging and enlightening stories from the late Jeeva Nadi Guru of Chennai, many of which I have translated and posted on Siddha Heartbeat too.

We thank all those who wrote in. Their kind words were a tonic to us, giving us a boost and keeping us going.

Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia too thanks all those who dropped by to pay us a visit and to be with Agathiyar for a moment.

Finally we thank Agathiyar, who has been dictating, advising, guiding and charting the way for all his messages to be made known to all, with the sole purpose of relieving our karmas and helping us "catch the train" back to his kingdom.

AGATHIYAR AT SWAMIMALAI PART 2

We at Agathiyar Vanam have always wondered why Agathiyar wanted his statue to be made in Swamimalai. 

When Agathiyar instructed me to have his statue done and install him at the Jegathguru Sri Raghavendra Swamigal Mritiga Brindavanam in Ipoh, he stipulated several requirements and specifications in the Nadi that I had to heed and follow. One of it was that the bronze statue of Agathiyar was to be made at Swamimalai.

If Agathiyar had not stated the 'schedule of compliance' that I had to conform to, I could have picked one from the shelf, although not all dealers stock the statue of Agathiyar. But as he was specific, I had no choice but to commission one. I asked friends who had dealings with India, friends sitting on temple committees and whoever that I thought could help, but none came to my aid.

Then an idea struck me, to try the net. So I surfed the net for manufacturers of bronze statues in Swamimalai. I e-mailed them. One person e-mailed me back asking what I wanted although I had given a very detailed description of my needs. Almost immediately I received a call from someone else from Swamimalai. He said he shall do it for me. And so Varadaraj of the Bronze Creative was commissioned to create Agathiyar. Varadaraj started work on Agathiyar and delivered Agathiyar in time for the Jayanthi celebrations at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia in 2010.

But Agathiyar has since changed his mind and chose to stay at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia for reasons only known to him. The Jegathguru Sri Raghavendra Swamigal Mritiga Brindavanam has been completed, with another devotee donating a statue of Agathiyar.

Varadaraj has since then made another 8 numbers of identical statues of Agathiyar for more Malaysians. Srimathi Vijayalakshmi Ravichandran of Chennai too had a statue of Agathiyar made by Varadaraj.

After this Nadi reading on 8 January 2009 where Agathiyar gave me specific instructions on how his statue was to be made, it was only recently that Agathiyar explains why he wanted his image made in Swamimalai. This was revealed in Jnana Jyothiamma's Jeeva Nadi reading. We are blessed to hear Agathiyar's revelation about Lord Muruga's wish, Lobha Ma's wish, and his wish too besides enlightening us on the significance of Swamimalai and the Kaveri River and the reason for Agathiyar to be made in the form as in Swamimalai. We are all  blessed to have Agathiyar come over to Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia.

AGATHIYAR AT SWAMIMALAI PART 1

Jnana Jyothiamma shares some photos taken while at Agathiyar's sannadhi in Swamimalai.

She wrote,

As dad had mentioned that wherever I go, they will appear as Jyothi to me .. see the following pics of dad at Swamimalai.

The Light travels ... have a look at these pics, from a Flicker to a Long Streak. 

First pic, just a flicker on to HIS left.

The second pic, the flicker is between the first Siddha and HIM.

The third pic, the streak of light had moved it's place away from dad and even the second Siddha

the fourth one .. where the light streak moves still further away.

 Last pic ... The streak of light a bit away from the second siddha

One elderly man came close to me and told me, when I was lighting the agal, that I can take pics if I wanted.  I saw dad's teeth and HE was smiling.

Similarly, the first time, when I went there, last year on Poosam day, near the sanctum, an elderly lady came to me and asked me money ... When the guys accompanying me tried to give her, she refused and insisted that SHE wanted it only from me. I gave it. She blessed me and my son and sat next to me on the adjoining steps.

One of the guys who accompanied me, clicked a pic. In that pic, SHE is missing, just a blanket of light next to me spread out.

Now, at last, dad explains what all those lights meant .. and the elderly people too .... and concluded by saying that this reading/msgs are not only for me but for everyone.

This time, when I went near HIM, I was reminded of what HE said about HIS Roopam, that the one in Swamimalai, will be sent all over the world and that will be the only Roopa from the Cauvery belt that will be remembered by the people, as per the wishes of Loba Ma.

GURU DHARMA

Agathiyar in the latest Jeeva Nadi reading for Jnana Jyothiamma mentions Guru Dharma and the need to reveal and disclose miracles and to spread these lilas or plays of the Siddhas and Erai.

SONG OF GRATITUDE

Manickavasagar gives us a beautiful song Accho Patikam, out of gratitude for the Divine in providing for him and elevating him to the status one with Shivam.

Similarly many years later Ramalinga Adigal too out of gratitude gives us Anantha Parivu.

Ramalinga Adigal to show his gratitude to Manickavasagar too, wrote Aaludai Adigal Arunmalai.
