🌻. The Work of Agastya - 2 🌻

It says that he came from the northern regions to the South to subdue the Vindhyas on the way, a proud mountain chain. It asked when it can acquire again its original form. 

He replied, “When I come back to the North.” But he never came back. He never goes to the north. It says that Shiva and even Krishna visited Agastya in the South to pay him honour. He is also called the non-moving Master.

He is deep, silent and effective and works in the shadow. He is an expression of THE MASTER who is omnipresent and eternal, the Be-ness of the universe.

In the early times of the earth there was a crisis where dark forces that were hiding in the waters of the oceans, came out during the night hours to disturb the law and order. 

The king, an emperor from the solar dynasty, was helpless. His advisors told him that only Agastya could handle the crisis. He approached Agastya through deep meditation, and Agastya appeared before him. 

The king explained the problem. Agastya smiled and said, “I shall inhale the waters of the ocean. Then you can see the dark forces and kill them. 

As soon as you have killed them, I shall once again release the waters into the depths of the oceans.” The king was pleased. The Master did what he had said. The king killed the dark forces and the Master released the waters back.

In this symbolism, we, the individual soul, are the solar king. The dark forces in water are the forces of emotion. Agastya is the teacher who teaches the work with respiration. 

Through deep inhalation, the solar principle reaches deep inside and expels the carbon through exhalation. Air is the medium. Aquarius is the airy sign ruled by Agastya; Uranus therefore is the regent of the sign.

It is interesting that Agastya is connected to the sky waters and that he mostly establishes his ashrams near waterfalls. His primary ashram is besides the Kuttalam waterfalls in the Courtallam Mountains of South India.
