Belief in The Return of Ayya Vaikundar
After the death of Ayya Vaikundar, a palm-leaf text, the Akilattirattu Ammanai, was opened, and it revealed instructions and concepts of Ayyavazhi faith and practice. The section known as Nadutheervai Ula in the Arul Nool predicts that Ayya Vaikundar will return during the final judgement. Another verse in the Pathiram of Arul Nool states: "Breaking the earth, I will come to give you counsel", and yet another verse in the Thinkalppatham of Arul Nool states: "From out of the earthen cell, I will come out". Profundity upon profundity.

—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“They have their belief, these poor Tibet people, that Providence sends down always an Incarnation of Himself into every generation. At bottom some belief in a kind of pope! At bottom still better, a belief that there is a Greatest Man; that he is discoverable; that, once discovered, we ought to treat him with an obedience which knows no bounds. This is the truth of Grand Lamaism; the “discoverability” is the only error here.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
