Bala Chandran Gunasekaran set out to perform charity by feeding the inmates of two homes simultaneously since it was the Sathayam star, a day auspicious to carry out acts to reduce one's karma. Agathiyar immediately calls him over for a Nadi reading where he praises Bala for his act of charity. The translation goes:
Gnana Aasi Kandam for Bala Chandran Gunasekaran
After the formal greetings to Lord Muruga, Agathiyar begins the reading
You are a pure soul doing service without any vested interest. I (Agathiyar) am truly happy. So are you, happy and satisfied. You shall gain merits. I shall send help to you to continue your dharma. You, your family and friends are doing a great service to me and my marga. I shall introduce good souls who shall do service without any expectations, to help you with your ongoing service. This act of charity will start from your home and progress to a larger and bigger scale. I shall bring you to another level. You have just come to me (for a reading) after completing annadhanam. Although tired and exhausted but you are satisfied and happy. This joy and satisfaction will be yours forever. Monetary aid will come your way to help sustain your charity and service. You will expand your service in providing annadhanam. The food itself will become medicine for those who receive it since this act of serving food has the blessings of the Siddhas. The blessings of the Siddhas are there for all who come forward to help you.One of the homes, the Pusat Jagaan Sayang Sejati, where children from 2 years to 11 years of age are cared for, is in need of sponsors to pay the monthly rental. AVM and Thondu Seivom through Amudhasurabhi does not take on long term commitments like paying rent and bills but provides provisions and other essentials. Good samaritans can get in touch with the operators of the home at:
Meanwhile Suren sponsored the meal that was prepared by Mr and Mrs Sri Krishna and served to the homeless in and around Kuala Lumpur city last Friday. Suren who frequents Ongarakudil in Thuraiyur, has participated in their feeding program several times.
Sri Krishna has a regular feeding program called Pothigai Meals on Wheels on Pusam Star days where he hits the streets of Kuala Lumpur distributing the food parcels to the hungry and homeless.
Agathiyar has started many souls on a wonderful journey of sharing and giving that gives immense pleasure to both the donor and the receiver.
