🌻. The Work of Agastya - 1 🌻

Agastya is the greatest of the Seers. Whereas the 7 Seers are depicted as men of tall stature, with long hair and beards, his appearance is the contrary. The Scriptures describe him as short and sturdy, beardless and with a round, clean-shaven head radiating golden light. All limbs of his body are radiating.

Lord Krishna once sent three disciples, who were fasting irresponsibly, to Agastya in the Blue Mountains to learn right fasting. Agastya said, “Observe me for three days. 

Then you will know it.” They observed him. He did not miss any meals. He ate mountains of food but he had a flat belly. After three days they told him, “We cannot understand you kind of fasting.” 

He replied, “I have been fasting eternally. I do not need food because I do not eat for myself. It is fasting if you feel that you don’t eat.” We think that we are eating. 

Agastya does not think that it is he who eats. He lives in accordance with the universal consciousness, and thus the food is distributed to all the elements around him, with himself as a channel. 

There are stories about disciples of him, who were so much engaged in a work for the Plan and did not have time to eat, did not become hungry, because the Master ate for them. Master CVV also provided rich meals, for the body should not be neglected. We should live a yoga which fulfils spirit and matter.

Normally, Agastya does not interfere with the evolutionary activity on the planet; it is guided by the ashram in the Himalayas. In times of crises, when the Hierarchy and the Devas alone cannot cope with the challenge, he cooperates and gives a push. Sri Kumar therefore humorously also calls him James Bond who takes to action in special missions.

In the Puranas, there are stories about his interventions. The first one was during the formation of the planet, when the matter was forming around the North Pole in the form of a whirlpool but the South did not solidify. 

The Devas and the Sons of Yoga asked Agastya for help. He then consolidated the circumference, which now is the equator, and created the South Pole.
