Hi. Are there any works of Rama Devar in print? Have you heard of Siddhar Pottri Mandhira Maalai?

According to Yogi Ramaiah, Rama Devar was a disciple of Agasthiar. Agasthiar came down from the hills into the city to initiate a disciple. He was looking for a dumb person who will follow his directions without question. Yogi Ramaiah said that Rama Devar was known as Jacob in the middle east.
