GURUJI’S ENCOUNTERS WITH NAGALOKAM BEINGS
MY FIRST MEET WITH NAGADEVI
Even though I had numerous encounters with serpents right from my childhood, I truly never believed that I had some connection with Nagalokam or with its beings up until very recently. A few years back, one night I had a direct one-on-one interaction with one of the primary beings of Nagaloka. That was the very first time I wholeheartedly acknowledged my connection and position in Nagaloka.
That night, as usual, I went to Gurulinga Swamigal temple. My disciples Saranya, Gopi, Mohanram, and his wife Bhavani were already waiting in the temple for my arrival. I went and greeted everyone and sat in my usual spot facing Gurulinga Swamigal. Everyone else sat facing me. Bhavani was in meditation sitting opposite me and I noticed some continuous movement in her throat. It was like a lump in her throat that was moving up and down like a snake. Mohanram who was there also noticed this and told me that he had also seen this on many occasions. He also said that Ambal (Goddess) is residing with her and that Bhavani often gets possessed by the Goddess when she visits temples.
At normal times, I would just let this pass. I would never listen to these stories. But, on that day, I wanted to provoke her and make her talk. After a while, Sudharsun, Madhan, Babu, and Mohanram went inside the sanctum sanctorium and started cleaning the area. Me, Bhavani, Saranya, Sindhu, Reva, and Krishna were sitting outside. I asked Bhavani to close her eyes and tell me who was inside her. She initially remained silent and gave some vague answers. But I didn’t stop provoking her. I again asked her to close her eyes and answer. This time I observed her closing her eyes, going deep, and finally being relaxed at one point in time.
I asked, “Who are you?” Her reply shocked me. She, with a very deep voice, announced, “I, Nagadevi, have come.” Even then without a flinch, I asked her back, “Then who am I?” For that, the reply came, “அரியாசனத்திற்கு உரியவர்,” meaning “the one who has the right to sit on the throne.” I was taken aback. This was the very first time, someone directly addressed me and acknowledged my position in Nagaloka. After this incident, I realised that I truly have a connection with Nagaloka.
Later that year, when I went to Rameshwaram on a trip, I visited Patanjali samadhi in Ramanadeeshwarar temple. I sat there and closed my eyes. Immediately the strong scent/fragrance of Thamboolam engulfed me. I realised that it was Nagaloka waiting for me. Usually, I won’t believe anything that I see or hear, and I tend to ignore them. But once, the truth is disclosed to me, then there is no stoppage in my way. So immediately, I prayed to Patanjali and established my connection with Nagalogam, and I was there.
I witnessed so many beings known and unbeknownst to humankind and their world. I crossed everything and went and rightfully sat on the throne.
