Ancient Guru: Adi Gurunatha
About this painting: Narrated by Nandhi: “It took several years before being initiated by Ayya after receiving the sacred mantra above on the peak of Thiruvannamalai. After the initiation, it felt as though Ayya’s Spirit was alive inside me. Two days later, back at home, early in the morning, I felt a presence in me prodding me to get out of the bed and write. I knew this presence to be Ayya although it felt more like a several Sages. As I took the pen, I realized that my thoughts suddenly started as a trickle from a blank mind and then turned into a gush of energy overflowing through me as words. Unfolding before me as writing was divine poetry of the ancient tantric yoga. Just as I finished writing with the thoughts subsiding again, I was about to sign my name and then a loud voice in me said, 'Who are you to own up to this written! Sign as Adigurunatha'. I did sign as Adigurunatha, which means primal or ancient teacher or guru. A few hours later, I left for my annual pilgrimage to Pavannasam, an ancient spiritual center. On the way to this spiritual center, I was told that one the most ancient temple of South India dedicated to the son of God, Muruga was in a cave-temple by the river- side near town, Thirunelveli. Without hesitation I went into this temple that felt so familiar. Within the cave, I felt His presence. As I fell prostate to offer myself as surrender to Him, worshipped as the deity carved on the rock, I heard His voice saying, 'I am Adigurunatha and I am with you always'. Opening my eyes, I looked to read the inscription of the name of the deity below the divine rock form. It read “Adigurunatha!” Adigurunatha is also Nandhi, the guru to Siddhar Thirumulanathar. This painting is He who so constantly erupts in me as inspiration and as guide, hence His sacred name for me as Nandhi".
