A BOOST FOR SIDDHA HEARTBEAT

The sacred feet of Agathiyar as in Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia, created by Varadaraj of the Bronze Creative, Swamimalai. Digital art by Bala Chandran Gunasekaran of Malaysia.

Siddha Heartbeat has been kind of a Yellow pages for people seeking information about the Siddhas since day one. We have been "promoting and sort of advertising" Agathiyar and the Siddhas; their samadhis; their ever mysterious and mystical Nadi which form the Voice of the Siddhas; their works on Bakthi, Yoga and Jnana; the ashrams related to them and the many Gurus running these ashrams including Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal; the numerous disciples on the road to Guru-hood including Jnana Jyothiamma; and carried all things related to the Siddhas.

This is seen all the more necessary in the wake of being told that this is the beginning of the era of the Siddhas; hence the urgent need to bring more people to the folds of the Siddhas; Agathiyar appreciating this blog and asking to use this wonderful medium and other information technologies on hand to help spread further his teachings and the Siddha path as revealed in the Nadi readings; Jnana Jyothiamma given the green light to share about the Siddhas revelations that will come our way through the medium of the Nadi; with Agathiyar progressively encouraging the establishment of temples and ashrams related to Siddhas including a new one being currently erected by Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal; with Agathiyar igniting the worship of Siddhas either through the Nadi or in other subtle ways in many individuals; with Agathiyar bringing the Siddhas into the homes of these devotees; with a promise that Agathiyar's statues made along the banks of Kaveri (Swamimalai) would prevail and become prominent, a request put forward by Lobha Ma; and finally bringing together many individuals, forming a network, to serve and carry out his (Agathiyar's) mission. 

Many have written in to express their thanks after finding what they seeked for in the pages of Siddha Heartbeat, 716 posts to date. I am pleased and it gives me satisfaction that Siddha Heartbeat has served well over the past 2 years, fulfilling its tag line, An Avenue that Showcases the Workings of the Siddhas. I share some of their encouraging mails, giving me a reason to continue, since many a times I had thought about calling it a day.

• om agasthisaya namaga...thanks for uploading videos in you tube. its very nice...i hear it everyday.

• i have seen your blog sir.. Agathiyar kirupai. very nice to see.

• Greetings Sir, My name is ..... and I am from Klang. I have been reading your articles for the past 2 months repeatedly as I find it really amazing and gives me a sense of spirituality every time I read it. It is really amazing to know that you have experienced many miracles throughout your trip to India.

• Dear Shanmugam, I have just read your inspiring pilgrimage notes to Tamil Nadu with Swami Tavayogi! Thanks so much for sharing part of your journey with a spiritual traveler from afar.I would like to make contact with you and Swami Tavayogi, and share more about our common interests. Wishing you the very best in your journey, and looking forward to being in touch! Jai Guru!

• I have read your account of your trip to southern India and am very inspired to make the journey in the next couple of years. I have been a devotee of Yoganandaji for 30 years and hope to make this pilgrimage, guided by Swami Supramania. Do you think that might be possible?

• Thank you sir for this enlightening post. I read another wonderful post by you about agathiar saying that he is inside all of us and and we all are inside him, but I cannot find that post again. I would kindly request you to tell the title of the post or please post another beautiful article on the same revelation by father agathiar!

• Dear Shanmugam - I got up this morning to discover that you had indeed replied to my question on YouTube as to where to get more information. I spent most of this morning reading your very well-written blog! Thank you for response and your blog. My introduction to Agastya and siddhas started a while back following the agasthiar.org website, and more recently when I started reciting His "Karya Siddhi Malai", and various prayers to Sri Lalitambika. I am Malaysian, resident in Singapore for a long ...

• Jai Guru, .... vanakam. ur website is really interesting. actually im looking for rite source to find about sithar kongganar hope u cam bring some info.... tq valga sitthar neri!

• Sir, i am a regular reader of your blog , i like to know if you are planing to conduct any prayer at tapah jaganatha swamigal temple on 12-july-2014 which is a guru pournami day. I like to know more about agasthiya moment in malaysia as well.

• Sir, My name is .... and i am living in singapore, i read your blogspot and decided to join the siddhar follwer community activity in singapore. Nandri . vanakam

• Dear Mr. Shanmugam Avadaiyappa, My name is .... and I am residing in Malaysia. I have been reading about your spiritual journey in regards to Agathiyar teaching and Tavayogi as your Guru. Is it possible for me to meet and discuss with you about spiritual matters which I believe that you might be able to help me? I have been praying to Lord Agasthiyar to show me the path and someone that might be able to help me along the way. Thank you for your time and help.

• Dear Shanmugam, Read your article in the web regarding Agathiar and different Siddhars. Pls help to send me more info regarding these Siddhas. What are you doing currently. Do you still keep in touch with Tavayogi. 

• Dear Brother, I read your book in scribd (https://www.scribd.com/shanmugam%20avadaiyappa) and much inspired about your development. I too in the same wave length and my inspirations are.

• Hello, My name is .... I have a question about the Konganar cave or any other cave siddhas used for meditation/Samadhi. How did they find their way in and out of there without light source? Is there a siddhi for manifesting light? Thanks for your time!

• Sir, It is not fair to expect you to remember me. However, I had been in touch with you after reading your blog on Agastyar. I have been asked by ...., even though she has given up her mortal coils, to do ...... I have no concept of what it is and what it means. May I request your good offices to help me find the answer? Regards.

• I have been reading some of the travel stories published on the internet and have seen your pictures from them in the past couple of years. These act like an incredibly strong magnet but have never tempted to contact you. About 2 years ago I visited Krishnaveni amma near Papanasam and this was thanks to you otherwise I would never have been able to locate her. She among other have transformed my life completely. I had the honour of staying with her in the daytime a whole 2 days. Also the small Agathiar shrine next to her ignited the inner fire straight up. Now I know this is just one place and there are many just waiting to teach those who are thirsty for it. So I feel it is time to just contact you and and go straight to the point. What are the chances for me to join up with you (Tavayogi) for a couple of weeks just meditating in the amazing Tamil Nadu treasures as my longing for this is bigger then anything else in the world. I will be going to India in February and March 2013 and if you are open for such a request just name the dates and financial support needed and I will be there. I hope this is not too straight forward and I am already grateful enough to be able to talk to you as you already showed me a very small but life changing area of southern Tamil Nadu that I will never forget. Yours truly,

• அய்யா ஒரு உதவி. நிறைய குரு மார்கள் இப்போது தோன்றிவிட்டார்கள்.பிறப்பின் நோக்கம் சாகா கலைகற்று சிவனை அடைவதே என்ற தெரிந்தது.ஆனால் அவற்றை அடைய பாதை தெரியவில்லை.குரு அருள் வேண்டி குருவை தேடி வருகிறேன்.குரு வை காண்பது எப்படி என்று என்னை வழிநடத்த உதவி வேண்டுகிறேன்

I wanted to visit Tirunelveli, Brahmarishi hills, nambi hills, tiruvannamalai and spend at least a few days with the Enlightened Siddhars, if GOD permits. Sir I don't speak Tamil but can understand a little. I am planning to meet Shri Maha Shiv Swamy on the day of guru poornima this month on 15th. So if you could help me plan my spiritual journey it would be a great help. I have not gone on any trips alone and am a complete map/places illiterate. So please be kind enough to help me in my quest as soon as possible. I am also practicing certain yoga for the past 5-6 years now. Any information will be helpful Sir. Thank You Sir, 

• Feeling truly blessed to have been graced to visit Agatiar Vanam at last and meet shri.Shanmugam and his lovely wife.i was sitting infront of Agastiar for quite sometime hoping and praying He would open His eyes and grace me through Nayana deeksha. Shanmugam sir said that guruji was so very happy. I humbly bow down at the lotus feet of Guru Agastiar for His kind grace. He has accepted me at last.

• Can I have your contact number or e mail address? I'm searching up and down for agathiyar statue

Do you have any books on specific Siddhars like Bogar, Pulipani, Nandi Devar, Karuvurar, Konganar, Avvai? If yes, where do you buy these? Is there an online source & are these available in English. I cant read Tamil very well, though i speak the language fluently. Thanks again for the wonderful work you are doing to bring the common man close to the Divine Masters, Wishing you & your loved ones many blessings from the Masters,

The experience that I had left me shaken for a bit :)  Warmest regards.

• What a timely post.reacting not and let it undergo.any ways what is destined to happen will happen.total surrender to god will make us accept things in life.it happens with highly evolved souls like adigalar. what abt normal humans when a crisis arises they choose to react.only side has must show us a good way.

The adding of points with acceptance from various philosophy show your open mindedness and simplicity! You had come out of the shell to guide others by the guru's blessings! Keep posting articles like this sir!

• Paying tribute/thanks to those who helped us climb up the ladder reduces one's karma. You have done a good job and still going in the right direction. May agathiyar, murugar and the Guides who are all with you, make you walk towards Siddhas.

However after reading through your posts about Siddhas and nadi's, I gained more knowledge and also started to search more about Siddhas. Do post more about Siddhas so every human being who read this can became a good son, citizen, devotee (Bakthan). After reading your blog I also begin to looking forward to know about my past through nadi. I'm trying to consult T.Ramesh however due to the distance and time unable to do so yet. Will keep in touch always. 

• Respected swamyji, I have tried many times on 1st date to get appointment from you but i am unable to get you connected..because your mobile is always busy at that time. Please give me a appointment to know my past and future.

• Dear Shanmugam - I spoke with Ramesh just now, and shall plan to visit him shortly in Brickfields for the Nadi reading, with his translator (as I am sadly not proficient in Tamil). Thank you and best regards.

• Hari Om dear spiritual Aspirant, My name is ..... and I went through the details of your travel in India, it was amazing phenomenon and very motivating. There is something that you have mentioned about the nadi reading that Sage Agastiyar had promised. Is this the nadi reading which is going on in Vaitheswaran? If so, which particular nadi astrologer did you see? Seem to be very accurate. I have a plan of making a pilgrimage to some of the places that you have mentioned. Especially Agastiyampelli, Courtrallam Babaji's sadana place, Siddha Bogar Palani and Ramaliga Swamigal's place Vellore. Since you have the experience going to these sacred places, could you give some advise which I should be aware of. You travel is truly inspiring, may God bless you and grant you the wishes that you are seeking for. Thank you.

Some spoke about Tavayogi and Mataji and the Kallar ashram after having visited them

• Vanakkam Sir, I had been to Kallar for the homam. It was indeed a great pleasure! Every experience of Kallar make me blissful I could identify Gnana Jyothiamma and went to speak to her. I have been following Siththanarul and so knew the person who drew the sketch. I was happy to see all of them. I hear your Siththan vakku upload almost everyday! I have noted some specific points in it. Especially Chathurthi and its importance. That audio has got lot of answers to my questions. once or twice i had called mathaji and fortunately I spoke to Swamiji. But that day alone I feel yes I am blessed by Agathyar!

VARMA KALAI - A GIFT FROM THE SIDDHAS PART 2

Uvaraj wrote in to thank Siddha Heartbeat for featuring Varma Kalai and furnished more information regarding this art of self defense and healing.

"The Varmam details is very well written. So simple and yet so informative. So beautifully done. Anandham."

"I have attached a few resource files that will be very useful for the Varma Kalai articles for the Siddha Heartbeat blog."

"These are some compiled notes and articles from many sources online that we find very useful in explaining about Varma Kalai in its essence and how the siddhas and their knowledge is related to it. These notes are the ones which I find easily understandable and states the basis of Varmam."

"There is one file titled 'Varmam Warrior Arts' and this is a summary of our Varma class that we teach. Our Varmam system is referred as 'Varmam Warrior Arts' as we don't just teach the Martial Arts side of Varmam but integrate others warrior essence such as meditation, yoga, breath work, siddha principles and other relevant studies." 

VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS

VARMA KALAI (the art of vital points) is the ancient Indian martial art form that manipulates vital points in the body, which can be used both for self-defense, healing and spirituality. Varma Shastra belongs to the very Ancient Siddha Tradition rising from the South of Ancient India. VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS, is a dynamic martial system of life that merges the Ancient Siddha’s Varmalogy system with modern warrior ways.

With balance in all forms as essence, our VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS system covers mixture of ancient VARMA KALAI martial training combined with modern defenses, health, healing, spiritual and fitness training that includes these core structures within the system:

- Varmam Vasi (Breathing)

- Varma Kavasam (Inner Power)

- Tarkhapu Varmam (Varma Defense)

- Pancha Por Murai

- Varma Weapons

- Kuttu Varisai

- Warrior Yoga

- Varma Meditation

- Varma Healing (Adangal)

- Varma Vital Point Therapy

- Varma Energy Therapy (Meitheendha Kalai)

- Varma Siddha Herbs

VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS primarily focuses on developing the Warrior essence by understanding the optimal being state for the modern living. Our classes will present in depth meaning and understanding of living as a warrior by;

• Educating the diversity of the Warrior Arts training and their application in modern day.

• Layering the Mental, Physical, and Spiritual aspects of these Warrior Arts.

• Exploring many different Warrior Arts application within the Varmalogy system.

• Studying Ancient Yogic arts and Warrior Healing applications within the Varmalogy system.

• Discovering Modern, Ancient, and Spiritual importance of Warrior Arts in Modern world.

Our mission is to explore, educate and experience the commonality of Warrior Arts within the Ancient Varmalogy System and make it available in its evolved form for today’s needs.

The core backbone of the Varmam Warrior Arts is Varmalogy System of life, Martial application and Healing System. This is our main focus. Through our experience to make the art more accessible as a way of life we needed to continually evolve the structure, just like everything else evolves in life naturally.

In essence it is based on the Great Siddhas ancient teaching, adapted for every day beyond it in a new perspective. The Warrior ways of the ancient days must be adapted for today’s warriors needs or else everything becomes stagnant and ‘non-alive’.

Some interesting facts came to light while browsing through Uvaraj's notes.

• Thirumoolar directly and indirectly quotes about varmam points in relevance with chakras and breathing cycle, using various concepts based on Aayul Pareetchai, Aathaaram, Kalai Nilai, Sara Nilai, and Vaara Soolam etc.

• Varmam has grown under three independent schools of thoughts, mainly governed by three ancient Siddha’s namely Agathiyar, Bhogar and Rama Devar, hence arriving at three school of thoughts, Agathiyar School of Thought, Bhogar School of Thought and Rama Devar School of Thought.

• Varmam has relationship with other fields like Siddha Medicine, Ayurveda, Yoga, Astronomy, Psychology, Tantra, Anka Sasthra and many others.

• Varmam is one of the main streams within siddha medicine.

• Among ayurvedic text, there is no separate text for varmam. But in the text ‘Astangahridayam’, written by Vakpatar, he speaks about 107 varmam points in human body. Some other ayurvedic texts also contain sparse information about varmam points.

• Every yoga asanas has its effect on certain group of varma points enabling proper health, flexibility, mobility and physique. 

• Siddhas, who developed varmalogy, studied where and when rays from all the planets and moons in the solar system reaches Earth and act on human body and based on their studies, they have created various varmam texts which studies varmam points in relationship with the rays from the planes and moons and their consequence on human body. 

Agathiyar Jeeva Nadi

Agathiyar in the Jeeva Nadi in the possession of Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal of the Sri Agathiyar Gnana Peedham at Kallar, praises all those who got together to host the Sarva Dosa Nivarana Maha Yagam held in conjunction with Agathiyar's Jayanthi and Guru Puja at the ashram grounds early this year. Agathiyar reveals the form he and other Siddhas had taken to be present to witness the entire event. He mentions that he had given those present his blessings too. 

Mataji Sarojini Ammaiyaar most graciously read the transcript from the said Jeeva Nadi on the request of Surendaran Selvaratnam from Malaysia for Siddha Heartbeat during his visit to Kallar.

VARMA KALAI - A GIFT FROM THE SIDDHAS PART 1

The Siddhas have given mankind many gifts. Seeing the extent and severity of sufferings man was going through, the Siddhas requested to Erai to grant them the gift of helping mankind. The Siddhas who had fathomed the mysteries of life were granted their wishes and so set forth to help mankind in many ways.

They took up the task to record and document individuals' life, through their gift of seeing both the past and the future. These records were known as the Nadi - elaborate accounts of past and future happenings.

The Rishis and Siddhas documented the science of healing, Siddha and Ayurveda, having noted the components of plants and herbs and their benefits to medical science (the science of dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention and treatment of disease - http://www.thefreedictionary.com). Again these were recorded on dried palm leaves or Olai Suvadi.

The Siddhas had seen Erai. They shared a huge volume of sacred devotional hymns and poems to help mankind reach Erai. These devotional outpourings include Periya Gnana Kovai, and numerous Siddhar Paadalgal.

When Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal taught us a series of asanas and pranayama techniques when he was in Malaysia, Agathiyar mentioned in the Nadi that what we had received was a gift or pokisam that was to be treasured.

Another gift given to mankind by the Siddhas is the art of self defense and healing known as Varma Kalai. Besides being a means of self defense, the art of Varma Kalai is also used to cure ailments and diseases.

Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia had the honor of having two devotees, Uvaraj, a well traveled Martial art exponent and his Master Arunan, an exponent of Silambam and Varma Kalai, drop by on Sunday evening.

Both these wonderful souls, have come forward to help revive this dying art, and hence are accepting students who are keen to learn this art form. For those who are interested to enroll or to know more about this ancient art, please get in touch with Uvaraj at e-mail.

Siddha Heartbeat is proud to share certain portions of the 7 hour long Satsang - a very enlightening and informative session.

Watch these masters speak with excitement and love about the Varma Kalai, an art form incorporating self defense and healing too, handed over by the Siddhas. Listen to them share about how they came to Agathiyar too and the many blessed moments and miracles they encountered in their lives.

AVM MEMBERS' CONTRIBUTIONS

KARMA, NADI & THE SIDDHAS PART 3

Nadi Nool Aasan Meigandan explains in simple terms how the Nadi functions in the following video.

Besides the commonly known facts about the Nadi, Meigandan walks us through further into understanding the mysteries of the Nadi. He says the Atma or soul, man and the Nadi have a connection. The Rishis and Siddhas who have the grace of God or Erai, knew the Atma and its place of residence. The Siddhas and Rishes could reveal the numerous births taken and also came to know of future happenings. A birth is taken based on the merits and demerits in the many past lives of a person. A new life starts based on these karma and is reflected through the positioning of the planets on one's astrological chart at the time of birth. During a birth, the various planets positions tend to form a particular pattern, that turns out good for some and bad for others. 

The Siddhas and Rishis decide who is to see their Nadi and at what period of time. When its time to reveal about a person or to bring him or her some news that is to bring a drastic change in them, the Atma automatically gets an urge to seek the Nadi, and hence gets connected. It is interesting to note that the Nadi had been written commencing from that moment of time, just as we shall see in Uday Mehta's question put to his Nadi Nool Aasan.

It is interesting to note the reply Uday got for his question about the timing when one comes for a reading. Uday went for this reading at the age of 53. He questioned the Nadi Nool Aasan Murlidharan, "What if I had come before this or after this time then my age would not have been 53? and his answer was you were supposed to come at this time only! Not before not after." Uday continues,"The future mentioned in the page also started from my age of 53." Meigandan too confirms this.

Meigandan clears the air as to why the Nadi readers need much information from the seekers before they can actually locate their Nadi. Just as you can group the worlds population under certain physical traits, so have the Siddhas and Rishis classified these Atmas into 108 divisions accordingly to their thumbprint. These 108 divisions are subdivided further.

When a thumbprint is given, the pattern is observed carefully and the process of locating the Nadi begins. This requires the cooperation of the individual. Imagine having to leaf through a great number of Nadi leaves trying to locate them is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. A individual might have a similar thumprint as others with little variations. The Nadi reader then goes through the tedious task of skimming through all these Nadi hoping to locate the exact Nadi pertaining to the individual. Just as those in the same Rasi share to a certain extend the same qualities or character, there is some similarity between those falling into the same pattern of thumbprint. For instance they could be in the same field of job; or the father's name could be the same; same with the mother too (this surprised me even further and answered my doubt too); they could share the same number of children; and other similar statistics.

When Nadi Nool Aasan Sentilkumar lead me on this humongous task of locating my Nadi, we had gone through 3 stacks of these Nadi leaves by then, not able to locate mine. Then to my surprise, a Nadi revealed my name, my parents name, the fact that my mother had two names - one official and another given by my father; the correct number of siblings, and my career too. But my wife's name was mentioned as Manohari. We both decided it could not be mine as my wife's name was something else.

Meigandan says it would then not be sufficient and proper to establish an individual's Nadi merely by accepting, for instance, the number of children. This is where the need arises for the Nadi reader to question the individual regarding many personal matters in order to cancel out the other less accurate descriptions and informations and finally arrive at the most accurate depiction of the person who has come for the reading. Both parties accept that that particular Nadi is the right one, only when all the information provided by the individual tallies with what is written in the Nadi. After determining these personal particulars as the individuals, only then is a complete reading done, that would reveal further what the person will encounter in the future.

Meigandan brings us hope that once an individual's Nadi is located, then various solutions, means and ways can be undertaken to bring change and reduce the intensity of one's suffering or to enhance one's good fortunes as indicated in their Nadi.

KARMA, NADI & THE SIDDHAS PART 2

The Nadi has a very good following too in Malaysia. Many Nadi readers have made their way to Malaysia to provide this service to those desperate and in need of guidance. A young Sivabalan saw his uncle, initially bring numerous thumbprints of Malaysians to Vaitheeswarankoil for an assessment of their Nadi, later decided to bring these readers over to Malaysia. Many have similarly made their way to Malaysia. 

I was blessed to have my very first reading with Nadi Nool Aasan Sentilkumar of Avinashi at Sivabalan's home back in 2002. Later I was introduced to T.Ramesh by Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal. Ramesh has been providing readings for me since then.

My brother who was with the New Straits Times Malaysia, thought of covering the Nadi in the English daily, assigned Suganthi Suparmaniam to write on it. Suganthi contacted me and together with her photographer, we approached T.Ramesh for an interview. The interview was published subsequently. Siddha Heartbeat thanks the New Straits Times Malaysia for the article.

It is an ancient system of prediction, written on Palmyra leaves. Previously known only to a select group of people, the nadi astrology of India is growing in popularity. It has even been featured in documentaries, including on Discovery Channel. SUGANTHI SUPARMANIAM turns over the leaves.

Leafing Through Your Life

KUALA LUMPUR: A. Shanmugam sat transfixed. The nadi astrologer had just read out his name and those of his parents and siblings.

“I was astonished. Reading the nadi olai (dried Palmyra leaves), he could even tell that my mother had two names," said the technician.

Recalling the first time he had gone to see a nadi astrologer in 2002, Shanmugam said the astrologer took his thumbprint and checked it against several bundles of olai.

“I was told to say only yes or no as he read from the olai. He asked if my name started with ‘Pa’ or ‘Re’ or ‘Mu’. When he said ‘Sha’, I said yes. He asked if my name was Shanmugam.”

“He then asked if my parents were named so and so and if I had this number of siblings and if I worked as a technician.”

“However, when he came to the name of my wife, he said it was Manogari. My wife’s name is Maheshwari. He then said this was not my olai and asked me to come again in two weeks.”

“This time, all the information about me fell into place. Nevertheless, I am amazed that such information about me could be contained in the olai said to have been written by Siddhas ages ago.

“I am also amazed that there could be another man with my name and whose parents and siblings have similar names but who has a wife called Manogari.”

“Since then I have seen the nadi astrologer 17 times. I find there is truth in what is said in the olai, at least for me,” he added.

Shanmugam is just one of the many people who are consulting nadi astrologers to find out their past, present and future.

After being told by a Chinese friend about the nadi astrologers, Chiew Chee Hoong, 50, from Subang Jaya went to find out.

“My friend told me the readings were accurate. I went to the astrologer, gave him my thumb-print and within minutes he found a script and read out my name,” he said.

He added that he was happy with the reading and described it as accurate. He said he would be performing a special prayer as instructed in the olai.

Businessperson Tan Chee Meng, 45, from Rawang said he felt something was missing in his life and decided to consult a nadi astrologer.

“I was shocked with what the astrologer told me. The accuracy of it was scary, he even came up with my ex-wife’s name,” he said, adding that the results were immediate as after performing a prayer suggested by the astrologer, business picked up.

The nadi astrologer can tell why someone is leading a happy life or a miserable life. Alternatively, what life holds for the future? In addition, he can offer remedial advice.

This ancient Indian art of prediction is said to have been written by Siddhas, called siddhas, thousands of years ago. The predictions were written on olai in Vatu Ezhuthu, a Tamil script, using a sharp, nail-like instrument called ezhuthani. Expert nadi astrologers can only decipher it.

University Malaya lecturer G. Shivapalan, who teaches Siddha philosophy and Indian astrology, said he was a non-believer. He said he changed his opinion when his sick sister became well after consulting a nadi astrologer in India, who, through the nadi, directed him to meet a doctor in a hospital.

“I had taken my sister to many specialists here and I figured I had nothing to lose so we looked for the doctor.”

“We asked around for a doctor with the initials given by the astrologer and found him. True enough, after consulting him, my sister became well,” said Shivapalan.

He believes nadi readings are accurate but cautioned against wrong interpretations by the astrologers who read them. Some astrologers, he said, had money on their mind and these people often made mistakes. Shivapalan added that mistakes could also creep in when astrologers made copies of the olai as each leaf only lasts about 200 years. He said nadi astrology made its debut in Malaysia in the 1980's and many of these astrologers from India had been coming here ever since. He said he had written down interpretations made by nadi astrologers for more than 800 people here.

Nadi astrologer R. Sentil Kumar said only certain people were fated to know their past, present and future through the nadi system. He said the nadi also provided ways to reduce the impact of bad karma or overcome obstacles.

“Incurable diseases are cured if they follow the instructions in the nadi. However, the influence of past karma affects a person so badly that sometimes it is written in the olai itself that that person should not be helped with remedial measures,” he said, adding that such people had committed atrocities in their previous births.

Sentil said his clients included Malaysians, Singaporeans, Germans and Japanese who came to India to read their olai.

Another astrologer, T. Ramesh, who has been reading olai for more than 16 years, agreed with Shivapalan about misinterpretations of the nadi and added that true readers of the nadi were born, not made.

“Sometimes, people come here with questions and the answers will appear in their nadi,” he said.

Ramesh said nadi astrology was different from ordinary astrology as only through nadi could a person know his past karma (actions done in previous lives). He said with this knowledge, a person could better understand his circumstances today. He has read the olai for more than 20,000 Malaysians.

Brief history

THE nadi inscriptions are said to have been written in India thousands of years ago by Siddhas on olai or dried Palmyra leaves, using their yogic intuitive powers. Over the centuries, the olai were passed on from father to son or master to disciple. In recent times, many of these bundles of olai were collected and stored in the Saraswati Mahal Library in Tanjore, south India. When the British came, they are said to have sold off some of these olai to locals, mostly astrologers. The olai were handed down over the generations. Young people were given training in how to read the nadi. It soon became a means of livelihood for many. The olai are preserved by rubbing them with peacock oil on auspicious occasions. The main center of nadi astrology is in and around Vaitheeswarankoil, near Chidambaram, in Tamil Nadu.

How it is read

THE thumbprint of the seeker is taken and is used to identify the seeker’s olai from the numerous manuscripts in the astrologer’s possession. If the person is lucky, his olai will be with that particular astrologer. If not, he will have to look for it from other astrologers. Sometimes the olai containing his information might have been lost or destroyed and he will not be able to have his olai read. Once the astrologer locates the particular bundle, he begins to read from each olai and asks the person a series of questions about his life, to identify the correct olai. This process can take a few minutes or several hours. Once the correct olai is located, the astrologer reads from it, describing the person’s life in detail. The astrologer will also suggest remedial measures for a person to reduce the influence of past karma and enhance the benefit of future activities.

Dr Amir Farid Isahak who writes a bi-weekly column in The Star wrote about the Nadi too. Siddha Heartbeat thanks the Star for the article.

Dr Amir wrote on Sunday September 9, 2007,

Akashic Energy

ONE of the most amazing phenomena I have ever come across is that of the Akashic records or Nadi astrology. Akashic records are records of your life – past, present and future, written by Siddhas (Siddhas) over 10,000 years ago. The records are written on wooden Nadi “leaves” and are read by trained readers.

My first exposure to this was nine years ago, when I first met my Kundalini Master Jagath Guru Mahan Paranjothiar(www.universalpeacefoundation.org) during his visit to Kuala Lumpur. I actually did not know what to expect, as I only went there to pay my respects to a great spiritual master. Before meeting Guruji, I was asked to meet Swaminathan, one of his disciples.

Uir Nadi

Swaminathan is a gifted Uir Nadi reader. When the “reading” started, the subject’s Akashic records would appear in Sanskrit on a shiny metal plate, but only he could see the writings! Even though he could speak English very well, in order not to disturb his concentration and flow, he had another disciple interpret for me. When he started reading my past, it was all accurate. In addition, when the reading of my future was done, I was stunned. After the reading, Swaminathan kissed my hand and called me “Guruji”!

When I was introduced to the real Guruji, he surprised me and his senior disciples who were in the room when he said that he had travelled the whole world looking for me. When I told him that just six months previously my Sufi master had come all the way from New York also looking for me (I had not known either of them before) to tell me about my spiritual mission, he smiled and said that they both received instructions from the same GOD! Both of them also said that my son would continue my spiritual work. My son’s name is the same as my first Sufi Shaykh’s, Muhammad Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani.

Nadi leaves

Many years later, my fascination with this subject was rekindled after seeing a Discovery Channel documentary, and I decided to investigate further. I went for a reading. It took over 1½ hours just to select my Nadi leaf. This was done through a process of elimination. When the correct leaf was found, what it contained was astounding. TheSiddhas even “spoke” to me through the leaf. They said, “You will be astonished by our powers. You will be seeking knowledge about Siddhas and be blessed. You may be a Muslim, but you are fated to know all these. You will get more knowledge and become like a Siddha yourself. You will get very clear high-level knowledge in your mind. You will discover many truths, and will encounter many surprises. You are fated to know secrets. You were born into this world to know the Truth. “Wow. What can I say? My journey has just begun, and I will continue to share snippets of it with my readers.

It was explained to me that from the time of creation, everything already had its energy imprint and that the Siddhas had knowledge of this imprint and were able to know almost everything about every individual ever born and to be born into this world. Akasha actually means the inner mind or super conscious realm that merges with the cosmic realm that contains all the information about the past, present and future. The Siddhas had the ability to access this information by their faith and practices.

As a Muslim, this is not foreign to me, as GOD had told the Prophet (peace be upon him): “When my servants are close to me, then my ears become their ears, and my eyes become their eyes.” (From Hadis Qudsi, meaning that those who are close to GOD will have access to knowledge that is not available to others.)

In energy healing, nadi refers to the channels through which the life force (prana or qi) flows, interspersed by the chakras (energy centers). It is estimated that there are about 72,000 nadis traversing the inner body.

The Nadi leaves referred here are the channels of information to the entire human race. If they take the good advice, they can live in peace and harmony. Therefore, the Nadi leaves are important for the health of humanity, since they carry advices and remedies for our physical, emotional and spiritual problems.

Muslims are not allowed to go to fortunetellers because we are to do our best, pray for divine assistance, and then accept that whatever happens is predetermined, and good in the eyes of GOD. To go to fortunetellers may cause the person to believe in what is being predicted, at the risk of losing sight of the fact that it is GOD who determines everything, including our future. The subject of fate and destiny is something very complex and confusing to most. While everything is already written down, not everything is revealed by GOD, even to the Prophets, Saints, and Siddhas. With his permission, these chosen people do get accurate information about the future, and the information can be in detail. That is why all Prophets made prophesies, as part of the signs of prophet hood, and as guidance and warnings to their followers and all humanity. The Saints and Siddhas also are given similar gifts of prophesy, although at a less significant level and power compared to prophets. There are fortunetellers, psychics, clairvoyants, modern-day “prophets”, bomohs, sinsehs and other traditional soothsayer who predict and prophesies with varying accuracies. Their source is the lowest realm of the cosmic database. Some even predict “4-digit” numbers accurately, which goes to show that this realm is accessible to anyone who ventures in, for good use or for gambling and black magic. It is also the realm that dark spirits have absolute access to.

Akashic records are at a higher realm, available only to those who are destined to know their future. If you go for your reading, be assured, you record is there. If you never go for your reading, be assured the Siddhas did not waste their time writing about someone who was never going to have his record read. Evenchildren’ records are read by their parents in preparation for their future upbringing. There have been over 10 billion humans since the first man (Adam for some of us), and the Siddhas have written for all those who will go to have their readings done, until he end of time.

The Siddhas are also the guardians of Siddha Medicine, one of the three traditional medical practices recognized by the Indian government (the others are Ayurveda, the ancient health and healing philosophy and practice based on Vedic sciences, and Unani, the youngest, which is actually Greek medicine practiced by Arab/Muslims and staying faithful to the Hippocratic dictum to let food be our medicine, and medicine be our food, and to religious commandments).There are experienced Siddha physicians here in Malaysia and recently, they hosted the world congress of Siddha Medicine. I will study this fascinating field and report to you from time to time.

The dear Dr wrote again on Sunday October 4, 2009 regarding the Nadi,

The Wandering Masters

Siddhas are often described as wanderers on the path of love. However, their physical journeys are nothing compared to their spiritual ones.

ABOUT two years ago, I wrote about Nadi astrology and the Siddha Siddhas’ predictions for me (see Akashic Energy at www.superqigong.com/articlesmore.asp?id=131). You will enjoy reading today’s article better if you read this previous posting first. Since the Siddha had written that I was one of them, my Nadi astrologer had reported this to his Guru when he returned to India. The Guru then sent his greetings to me and indicated that there were more messages for me.

Recently, I went to see my Nadi astrologer Guru Ramesh again since I thought it was about time I found out what the further messages for me were. This time I was surprised because Guru Ramesh kissed my hand in respect. When I asked why he did that, he replied that since he had read my Nadi leaves, he knew whom I was.

The Siddhas 

Siddha means “one who is accomplished” and refers to enlightened masters who have spiritually perfected themselves through subjugating their egos, meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques), and rightful living. They acquire wisdom, knowledge, and supernatural abilities, which include the ability to heal. Their service is for the well-being of all humanity.

I find much similarity between the Siddhas and the Sufis, who are also people on the spiritual path of love, wisdom, and enlightenment. Both are steeped in mysticism, and are often misunderstood, and sometimes said to be mad! I now have five Sufi masters guiding me, and I know many fascinating Sufi stories. However, the Siddhas preceded the Sufis by several thousand years. Their story began more than 5,000 years ago. Certainly, they have more stories to tell.

In Hindu mythology, Siddhas were said to have lived in Siddhashram, in the holy lands of the Himalayas, where many sadhus, Siddhas, and yogis lived. Nowadays, the Siddhas of South India are better known. They are called Siddhas or Cittars in Tamil Nadu. Their lineage continues to this day, though they are more known for the practice of Siddha Medicine rather than their spirituality. However, Siddha Siddhas do exist, but most are hidden. Their popularity will mushroom as more discover their amazing predictions written in the Nadi leaves. In the southern tradition, there were 18 principal Siddhas. Of these, Siddha Agasthiyar was the first, and is believed to be the father of Siddha Medicine. In addition, he communicates with me through his writings on the Nadi leaves. My other Siddha guide is Siddha Bhogar, also a master of Siddha Medicine, astrology, astral travel, exercise, and cosmic energy. It is therefore not surprising that I am a medical doctor delving in alternative/complementary medicine, qigong exercises, and energy healing.

Advice from Siddha Agasthiyar 

May I remind you that whatever is written here was written on the Nadi leaves by Siddha Agasthiyar thousands of years ago. Siddha Agasthiyar said that he and the other Siddha Siddhas would continue to bless and guide me. They have tuned my chakras and empowered me. Secrets, miracles, and “new things” will be revealed to me. I am to strengthen my faith as a Muslim through prayers and good deeds, and to be a noble ambassador of my religion. Even though we are not of the same faith, our duties are the same. We both serve humanity in many ways. This brought us together. Through the guidance of Siddha Bhogar, I will be exposed to various healing methods, and will teach others.

There are other Gurus and teachers waiting to guide me, including those from other religions. (You may be surprised to know that among my spiritual advisers is a local Evangelist Bishop who said that he was directed by God to guide me. I accept advice from all wise and sincere men and women.)

However, what stunned me most was when he specifically mentioned that I should visit the ashram of Jegath Guru Paranjothiar Mahan in Tirumurthi Hills, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, before more secrets that are spiritual will be revealed to me. Among my non-Muslims teachers, he is closest to me. Guruji Mahan was described as a master who teaches about knowing and loving God, and spreading happiness, gladness, and peace among humanity. Indeed, his usual greeting is “Santhosam” (gladness).Although Guruji Mahan is not a Muslim, preferring to be known as a universal child of God, his teaching about God is similar to the Oneness (tauhid) believed by Muslims, so I am comfortable with his teachings. I believe Guruji Mahan is a living Siddha Siddha. Guruji Mahan has always treated me as his spiritual son, even though he is only a few years older than I am. We have known each other for about 11 years, and many times, he has invited me to visit his ashram. I never seemed to have the time, and besides, I was able to meet him often because he came here quite regularly. However, Siddha Agasthiyar said although Guruji would have waited for me until whenever I am ready, the disciple should visit the Guru for the spiritual doors to open wide. He said that Guruji likes me very much and that he will empower me. I will visit him soon. You can know more about him at www.universalpeacefoundation.org

Siddha Agasthiyar continued that I am to teach through my speeches and my writings, something that I am already doing now. He also warned me that some would reject what I say (but then even the prophets were rejected!).He also taught me an exercise to fine-tune my spiritual reception so that one day I can see the past, the present, and the future. If Allah wills, it will happen.

Siddhas are often described as wanderers on the path of love. However, their physical journeys are nothing compared to their journeys into the secret chambers of their hearts, where the lover and the beloved (GOD) meet. The Sufis also walk the same path, of finding the beloved, and yearning to be one with him (in purpose, not in form). The Siddhas preceded Islam, and I love and honor them the same way as I love and honor my Sufi masters. From the Sufi and Siddha teachings, let me share with you that the inner journey is the greater path, for it is here that realities are experienced and understood. It is a difficult journey wrought with challenges of the ego, pride, anger, envy, greed, lust, and many more weaknesses that are human. When these are subdued, then finally, the wanderer only wanders outwardly, for once, he has found the beloved in his heart, and he stays “home” there.

The outward journey and the physical forms are necessary training and often illusions to the truth of our existence, and our purpose in life. Inaddition, remember this – the one who is in love with God, will love all humanity. To love the most compassionate, merciful and just God also means to be compassionate, merciful, and just to our fellow human beings, and to all creation. That is the essence of spirituality, of whatever tradition, faith, or religion.

My Wanderings 

As predicted by the Nadi leaves, in the last few years, I have been busy traveling with the Buddhist Amitabha group and the Malaysian religious leaders. In addition to these, I traveled to Brunei, Macau, Taiwan, and Japan to give health talks, consultations, or visit health supplement manufacturing facilities. I also went to Italy, France, Bulgaria, and China for training in aesthetic surgical techniques, lasers, and electro-therapy. While the Siddhas of olden days wander on land preaching love and spirituality, I am crisscrossing the continents on jet-planes, preaching and doing many other things!

The Siddhas are also guardians of possibly the oldest organized healing system – Siddha Medicine. When I do have the time, I will meet the Siddha physicians and learn from them the secrets of this ancient healing system. 

Bala Chandran Gunasekaran of Malaysia has taken upon himself to promote the Siddhas and their Nadi, as a form of service to both the Siddhas and the public has brought a total of 125 people to seek their Nadi.

KARMA, NADI & THE SIDDHAS PART 1

Uday Mehta whose life was going fine suddenly turned topsy turvy overnight. When all means to overcome his plight ended in vain, he turned to the Nadi for a solution and a reason. Agathiyar revealed the reasons for his misgivings. Uday shared his personal account of his tragic misfortune and how karma affects individuals at http://www.naadiguruonweb.org/dedicated_maharshi_02.html and

Many celebrities and personalities have given the thumbs up for the Nadi as disclosed at http://www.naadiguruonweb.org/old_experiences.html

Just like Annette Merle Cleveland, who was mentioned in my Nadi, had publicised the Nadi extensively, Shashikant Oak too is renowned for his extensive research and writings on the Nadi. He had his first Nadi reading at Tambaram after he was posted as the Wing Commander to the Air Force Station. He was so convinced by the revelations that he took up research into this mystery. He also happens to be the famed writer PN Oak's nephew.

Annette had been interviewed for Discovery Channel many years back. Watch her interview in the following video.

Shashikant who visited all the Nadi centres in India, had a Jeeva Nadi reading with the famed Nadi Nool Aasan Ganeshan of Tanjavur too. Watch the following video.

Nadi Nool Aasan Meigandan explains in simple terms how the Nadi functions in the following video.
