    Ep 34: The Formless Detour (Part 2)

    Send us a text  💭 What happens when you prepare all your life for a moment—only to realize that when it arrives, your duty demands you to walk away?  🔥 Listen to the origin story to the Birth of Sivapuranam🔥  Vadavoorar had always known his path. A devoted minister, a wise statesman, a seeker of truth. But in a single moment, he saw something no human was meant to see—a reflection that whispered a divine secret. 🌊✨ He stood at the edge of destiny, face to face with the Cheraman Perumal, a healer whose arrival silenced the very air. A man with no reflection. A presence that held the universe in its stillness.  But fate is cruel. Just when his soul longed to stay, when his heart begged to remain in the presence of divinity, duty called him away. 🐎⚔️ The Pandya kingdom needed cavalry, and Vadavoorar had to leave.  We all know Vadavoorar departed for Poompuhar to secure warhorses. But what happened in those fleeting moments before he left? What divine message did he receive? And why did he whisper his surrender to the Lord even as he walked away?  A tale of devotion, duty, and the unbearable weight of longing awaits. 🎧  Support the show
