Gurusamy

Gurusamy narrates several small stories to his followers. He tells them of Subramani, a religious follower of Ayyappan, and his father, a loan shark. In an attempt to change his father's greed, Subramani climbs a mountain and puts a garland of flowers on it. Ayyappan protects people who were tricked by loan sharks and unable to pay the loan.

He also tells them how Ayyappan reunited Poongodi and her abusive husband, Vembu. Vembu becomes a Ayyappan devotee and reforms, solving the couple's problems.{{Cite web|url=http://kungumam.co.in/VArticalinnerdetail.aspx?id=1067&id1=45&issue=20111212|title=குருசாமி|date=12 December 2011|work=Kungumam|language=ta}}
