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.

“Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place—service—social service—the ants’ creed, the bees’ creed.”
—John Galsworthy (1867–1933)
“And when religious sects ran mad,
He held, in spite of all his learning,
That if a man’s belief is bad,
It will not be improved by burning.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
