[[Ayya Vaikundar|Lord Vaikundar]] was the incarnation of [[Ekam]] according to [[Akilathirattu Ammanai]], the religious text of [[Ayyavazhi]] and the source of [[Ayyavazhi mythology]]. As the Ekam is the supreme power in [[Ayyavazhi]], Vaikundar was the supreme power incarnate.

== Muruga inviting Vaikundar ==

[[Ayya Vaikundar|Lord Vaikundar]] incarnated from the sea of [[Thiruchendur]] and after telling the secret about the incarnation to Veiyelal (the mother of [[Sampooranathevan]] known as [[Ayya_Vaikundar#Early_life|Muthukutty]] in human history) he walked towards [[Detchanam]]. At that time [[Muruga]] met him and fell on his feet facing the north direction. At once Vaikundar told [[Muruga]],

{{Quote|I am going to destroy the [[Kaliyan]] and so if you degrade my advice you will have to suffer a lot. Till now you have done so. Vaikundam had taken birth and is going to rule under single umbrella. So from here, [[Deva (Hinduism)|Devas]] of all [[logas]] which were surrounded by [[Sky]] should obey me. Here are the rules for all of you}}

By saying so, [[Ayya Vaikundar|Lord Vaikundar]] produced "acts" for all god-heads.

== Acts ==

The rules provided for the god-heads,

*Do not accept any oblations.
*Do not accept bribery.
*Do not accept any [[Puja (Hinduism)|Puja]]s.
*Do not accept any sacrifices.
*Desires should be thrown away.
*Be genuine
*Let not the [[maya (illusion)|Maya]] rule you.
*Do not accept any [[Temple car|chariot]] festivals.
*Do not accept any worship.
*Do not accept [[Alatthi]] (a ritual practice in which lights are waved in front of idols)
*Do not accept offerings of sandals, garlands, etc.
*Do not let anyone fall at your feet.
*Do not accept any ''Homa'' ([[Soma (drink)|Soma]]).

When saying this Vaikundar added, "If any one rejects this, you will have to suffer a lot."

== Symbols of acceptance ==

Hearing this, Muruga accepted all of these, and promised to behave accordingly. Vaikundar replied, "If you accept, do the following things to symbolise that":

*In your [[gopuram]] (of Thiruchendur Temple) make a crack on the top in the north side.
*Turn your Idol (of Thiruchendur Temple) towards the south.
*One door (of Thiruchendur Temple) should be closed for ever.
*And you should close your eyes (idol of [[Muruga]] in [[Thiruchendur Murugan Temple]] and with modesty your head should remain hanging down.

Muruga accepted this and Vaikundar told that until the final judgment, "I've to do several different characters, so expect me". By saying this Vaikundar proceeded towards [[Detchanam]].
