16 ANOINTMENT THROUGH HOLY FEET  (THIRUVADI DEEKSHAI )

In 1980, I was anointed by wise saint Jothi Ramasamy Desikar in Trichy.

After practising staunchly for 12 years, I was able to write “Kanmani Malai (The Garland of Divine Wisdom)”.

In 1992, I got married and brought forth my son after a year. Vallalar named the boy as “Suyam Jothi”.

After six years, in 1998, Jothi Ramasamy Desikar, my guru (spiritual teacher), before departing from the world ordered me to take charge of his ashram and succeed him as guru and blessed me. Jothi Ramasamy Desikar Swamigal was the disciple of Balaianandha Swamigal who descended from Adhinayaga Swamigal who had the title “Thirukayilaya Paramparai”.

Until this incident, I was conducting religious congregations and discourses to those who came for spiritual wisdom. Now, 24 years passed after anointment through holy feet. On the 180th birthday of Vallalar, the saints and their disciples insisted that I should guide the people as a leader and accept the seat of guru. By the blessings of guru and the grace of God I accepted the guru’s seat by the will of God.

12 years have passed after anointment and then I was fortunate enough to write Kanmani Maalai, a unique book on wisdom.

After another 12 years, I was offered the seat of spiritual teacher and soon Arulmani Maalai was published. I was blessed to write and publish this second book on divine spiritual wisdom.

Vallalar has made a reference to “Kanmani Maalai” in his song numbered 1371 of Thiruarutpa. He blessed me (the author) about 150 years before.

It is a rare privilege for me to get such a great guide and guru and as a result the rare divine experience has made my life holy.

God has blessed me with the rare opportunity to anoint the fellow beings through the guidance of so many saints and sages who have been with me protecting and blessing me always. Moreover, goddess Bhagavathi at Kanniakumari has been blessing me and I submit myself to the lotus feet of the goddess. God has blessed me with the duty of anointing the fellow beings, and provided me with joyful, loving, peaceful spiritual life.

I have been endowed with the privilege of anointing the people into the spiritual path of wisdom. My only service is to give anointment to the people who came forward to follow this path.

Oh, fellow beings with universal love and compassion for all! Read Kanmani Maalai and Arulmani Maalai. The path of spiritualism will be open to you.

Those who are interested are welcome here; realize the nature of soul; lead the life of pure consciousness.

Human race is one, as God is one. Pure path of spiritualism for all is Sanadhana Dharmam.

The path which leads us to realize God is what we call “Thiruvadi Dheekshai”. There are ten steps in this path for the follower. The tenth step is called “Thiruvadi Dheekshai”.

Symbollically “Thiruvadi” means “Two eyes”. Readers must have understood this.  “Kanmani Maalai” and “Arulmani Maalai” proclaim the same conception. The spiritual saint with his highest form of wisdom infuses the self-realization in the mind of a disciple through the “eyes” called “Thiruvadi” (The holy feet). Jesus Christ says in the Bible: Another divine form will come to the world who will give you spiritual rebirth through the heat of fire and the power of his exalted pure soul.

It is the same process of giving spiritual rebirth(bath) through heat and eyes, which has been mentioned in the Bible. This is what we mean by “Thiruvadi Dheekshai”.

The path of wisdom through the eyes (holy feet) and heat is given as “Thiruvadi Dheekshai”. One who receives the path of wisdom is born again. The Bible says: one who is not reborn, will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.

“Twijayan” means “one who is born twice”. Saint Agasthiar points out: you have to find an alternative to the path of renunciation. What he means the alternative path, is the path of  “Thiruvadi Dheekshai”.

It is really a rare opportunity to be born as a human being. “Dhaanam”  (teaching spiritual path to others) and “Thavam” (doing penance after anointment) called “Thiruvadi Dheekshai” are extremely rare to find in human beings. In short “Dhaanam” is spreading the supreme spiritual wisdom and “Thavam” is doing penance through Thiruvadi Dheekshai and finally being in a blissful state with silent inactive mind.

Whatever I have learnt and realized as eternal truth have been told repeatedly in these treatises. This is done out of love for all fellow beings. My intention is that all of you must understand and receive spiritual wisdom.

God will bless us all. Oh, fellow beings who practice universal compassion, understand that both books – Kanmani Maalai and Arulmani Maalai are like “two eyes” for a human being. They convey the secrets of spiritual path of wisdom. You must spread this message to as many people as you can. Show them the path of spiritual wisdom. Buy these two books, distribute them and the message as far as you can. This is what we call the “Gnana Dhaanam” (doing the charitable act of spreading the spiritualism).

Come to Kanniakumari, Bountiful Kannia Kumari will bless you all.
