Agathiyar of Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM) is curently at Pothihai Tharmanyaana Chakkram (PTC) staying behind after a puja conducted on 3rd July by the hosting couple and devotees Sri Krishna and Sri Dewi and their children. They have since decorated and conducted daily pujas for him.
Sri Krishna was brought up in the circle of Nadi readers from India frequenting his uncle's place where he grew. So the Nadi is no mystery to him. After he married Sri Dewi she too took up the path of the Siddhas with much devotion. Sri Krishna besides helping out in translating the Nadi for non-Tamils took them to carry out the parikaram or remedies stipulated in their Nadi both locally and to India too. This couple who were trained in Siddha medicine by the late Dr.Krishnan although they have not made that their occupation, do prepare herbal preparations when the need arises. They have taught yoga and general well-being to the young and old. They took it up upon themselves to feed the hungry extending this charity to schools, orphanages, the homes of the poor, and to the street feeding many hungry souls in their lifetime. Beginning as Agathiyar Universal Mission (AUM) today they are known popularly as Pothihai Tharmanyaana Chakkram (PTC). We at AVM, and our charity wing Amudha Surabhi (AS) were introduced to street feeding by this couple who personally took us along to the many spots where the poor and homeless spend their days and nights in Kuala Lumpur. We take this opportunity to thank this couple who have shared so much with us in the past.
