Ayya : The Graceful Master who took over his disciple
Thirunarunkundram was a small village near Thirukkovilur. In that village, Kalpattu Ayya (கல்பட்டு ஐயா) was leading an ascetic life in his small hut, which was over a hill. In his meditation, he once got a vision that his Master will come in person to take over him. The Omniscient Lord Vallalar went there and calmly said, “Kalpattu Ayya! For fulfilling your penance, I came here as told by God, open your eyes”. The words resounded as magic spell in the ears of Kalpattu Ayya. He suddenly felt an unknown ecstasy and opened his eyes. There stood Vallalar as form filled with Compassion and Grace. Thus the Master took over his disciple.
One yogi name Kalpattu Ayya intuitively knew that a man of
knowledge (Jnana Acharya) would come of his own accord to him on particular day
and time, accompanied or surrounded by a retinue devotees, in order to accept
him ( the former) as a disciple. The said yogi informed many about his
intuition. Vallalar accompanied by many devotees, visited the yogi at his
village Tirunarung Kunram on the day and hour as foreseen by the latter and
accepted him as His disciple. Vallalar took him to Vadalur and gave him a
separate cottage to pursue and practise his yoga. Whenever the Vallalar
happened to deal in his lectures to the devotees, any subject which would
benefit Kalpattu Ayyah, he would send for him immediately. In his later days,
the said yogi was managing Dharma sala. He died at Vadalur and his remains has
been preserved in Samadhi near Dharma Shala. He was a realized soul among the
Vallalars disciple.
