Greatest Divinely Given Book of Kali Yuga
On June 1st, 2003, 12.45
pm, giving a discourse on Agasthiyar Vazhipaadu, Sage Agastya said: “I am the
cause; you are the doer. There is no longer any obstruction for you for the
divine work that you have taken upon yourself, to understand why others have tears in their eyes, and to
give them light.
The
work you do is the work I am doing from within you. Gods and Munis who are not
seen by others, in a situation where they are not able to advice the people of
the world directly; choose some as devotees or disciples at various times, and
correcting their actions, help the world to walk on the righteous path through them.
While
selecting someone like this, we understand the good deeds such a person has
performed in his previous life, and giving him the ability to speak, we first
ensure that people see such a person as a good person.
As
days go by, four will change to four and ten people, who will understand him,
and be eager to listen to his discourses, extend loving invitations to him, and
will come forward to listen to his words with respect.
While
doing this work, without pride, without becoming a slave to praise; without
desiring money; considering that being asked to do this good task is like
performing worship, considering it as a direction given by God, proceed with
it.
You
will need help from others too. You will have a good path shown by Guru. You
will also have the grace of God.”
Then
referring to the words that he has given in Agasthiyar Vazhipaadu to Pongal,
Sage Agastya said, “Going forward, take a handful of the Pongal that has
overflowed, take it and give it to those who come with respect. In the coming
days, taking the additional discourses that come, publish them as a small book,
and distribute them.
Once
completed, you must publish it as a big book. Some among those that read the
small books, will come to help you by themselves as a service to God.
The
same way you become known to four and ten people from four people, the same
way, these books that come out in a small way, will quickly spread in the world
with the grace of God; blossoming like a flower, and will illuminate hearts.”
Today,
marks the release of the greatest divinely given book of the Kali Yuga, as Sri.
Karapanaswamy of Sri Agastya Gnana Peetam, Malaysia has so rightly called it.
And as indicated by Sage Agastya himself above, it is being released with no
fanfare, in a quiet corner of the world.

and effort to get this great work done, expecting nothing in return. We offer
our humble pranaams to every one of them. Gajaraj Swamigal who received the discourses,
