Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar (Ramalinga Adigal)

The ArutperunJothi Ramalinga Adigalar, popularly known as VALLALAR, the Great Munificient, may be regarded as the foremost of the saints and ages of the nineteenth century, considering the heights, widths, depths and intimacies of his integral realisation of the Divine in all the "inmost, inner, outer, and the outermost parts of his being".

SUDDHA SANMARGAM

The Great Principles of Samarasa Suddha Sanmargam

(The Divine Principle – the Grace-Light principle of the Supreme)

  ● God is only One; the One Divine is in the form Supreme-Grace-Light and He is called the Arutperunjyothi Almighty (Arut-perun-jyothi means the Supreme-Grace-Light) – the Supreme Being.

  ● Adore truly the Arutperunjyothi Almighty and realise the Self-Light within you and the Supreme-Grace-Light in the transcendental plane and everywhere – the Divine Reality.

  The contemplation and the glorification of the God would help you get the receivables from the Divine – the gifts of Grace.  (It helps to cast off the veils of ignorance and illusion – the impurities that hide the radiance of the Soul-Light).

  The supreme aim of Suddha Sanmargam: realisation, transformation, manifestation (Realisation of the Divine – the self-realisation and the Supreme Divine realisation, transformation into the Divine Nature – the immortal life in a deathless body and manifestation of the Divine).

  ● Do not worship demigods (lesser gods) and do not perform any sacrifice of animal or living being.

  ● Surrender to the Supreme Divine – offering oneself to the Arutperunjyothi Almighty.

  ● Become conscious that all living beings are our soul-siblings.

  ● Manifest Ānmanèya Orumaippādu, the Soul-brotherhood and Oneness – regard every being as your own self.

  ● Shun the religious, cult, sect, caste, clan, ethnic, racial, colour, gender, language, national, regional, social, and haves and have-nots differences – free from divisiveness and seeing all in a greater divine equality.

  ● Do not take non-vegetarian food – taking non-vegetarian food is against the Divine Wish. Follow the Suddha Sanmarga recipe – the food that helps you keep good health and fit for transformation.

  ● Do not kill the living beings – the non-killing principle is the principle of the Supreme Guide.

  ● Do not intoxicate yourself (do not take alcoholic drinks); do not smoke (no to tobacco and drugs) – take care of the mind and body and soul in the Suddha Sanmarga way of life.

  ● Do not cremate the dead – cremating the dead is an act equivalent of killing; bury the dead. Avoid the final obsequies, ceremony performed in memory of a deceased person on his/her death anniversary and other rites.

  ● Regard all living beings as the sanctuary in which God dwells and offer service to them.

  ● Follow the Jeevakaarunya discipline – a discipline of divine Compassion (a true compassionate service – kind and care for all living beings especially those who suffer – offer free food to the needy) is the key to open the house of Bliss – the House of the Divine. The main aim of Jeevakaarunyam is to purge the distress of starvation and killing.

  ● Follow the life, mental, physical and vital (senses), and psychic (soul) disciplines including Jeevakaarunyam – the spiritual discipline.

  ● Become conscious and always think of the Divine and do everything with the spiritual consciousness and manifest the soul-compassion in every act of yours.

  ● God’s Love for us is the Grace for us and to receive the Grace, have psychic love for Arutperunjyothi Almighty – the Supreme Beings and psychic compassion for all living beings.

  ● Vallalar says, the pathway that annihilates death is my path Sanmargam – the Suddha Sanmargam. The one who dies not is a Sanmargi.   

     ● Suddha Sanmargam is the true spiritual path above of all religion and stands for the Supreme Truth – there is only one Truth and the Truth is same for all. Realise the Supreme Truth and shun the illusions be it in the scriptures, philosophies, legends, tales of epics, etc. ─ these could not explicitly reveal the ultimate Truth, at best it is mentioned symbolically.

  ● Pray for all. It is not proper that one prays for oneself – only for the self needs. One should pray for the total welfare of the world and in that prayer all needs of one is also taken into the account.

  ● Suddha Sanmargam is the supreme and commonest pathway for all, and the supreme principle that brings peace and happiness to the world – Let all living beings live happily!  

     The Grace-Light of Vallalar leads the Sanmargam and the Power of the Supreme aids the Grace-Light.

  The Principles of Truth

(The Great Principles of Samarasa Suddha Sanmargam)

  Purusarttham

(The four objectives worthy of human pursuit)

  The four Purusartham that we could get or realise:

  ● To do Yéma Siddhi (alchemic transformation of Matter – alchemic perfection means turning things

     into purified form like that of pure gold – also purified ecstasy of the golden perfection) 

● To get educated on the art of Deathlessness (and become immortal by physical transformation)

● To subdue the tattvas (transformation of constitutions) – the human body constitute 96 tattvas

● To seek the Divine and become the Divine Nature (and manifest the Divine)

  Disciplines

  To achieve the above (purusartham), four disciplines are required:

  ● The vital (senses and also physical) discipline (Indhiriya Ozhukkam)

● The mental discipline (Karana Ozhukkam)

● The life discipline (Jiva Ozhukkam)

● The psychic (soul) discipline (Ānma Ozhukkam)

   The Vital Discipline

[Senses and also physical]

  ● Do not hear bad and unpleasant words; hear Náthàm divine chanting and mantra chanting.

● Do not touch with impurity; touch compassionately.

● Do not look cruelly and frighteningly. 

● Do not have liking for delicious food. 

● Do not have liking for perfumes – the heady scent.

● Converse with others in a good and useful way. 

● Do not tell lies.

● When a being is in (life) trouble, by any means remove the trouble.             

● Pay a visit to the places of saints and sages. 

● Go around and live in the place of saints and holy places in order to help the being.

● Give and take with good intention for the good activities. 

● Take food moderately. 

● Have sensual enjoyment moderately.

● Maintain regularity in passing urine and motion (attend to the natural calls immediately); maintain normal condition – without less or excessive passing.

● If affected by climate change and heat, remove the trouble by medicine, material means, Sarapètham (changing the nostril breathing – solar and lunar), asthaparisa means (pressing the vital-physical points in the body) and mulanga pranava dhyana (concentrate on the base with ‘ah’ sound breathing in and out in order to make more oxygen go into the system (and clear the bowel).

● Seminal fluid (Sukkilam in men and Shronitham in women) should not be spent in indulging excessively and improperly – that is a moderate method of restraint and not spending it at all in any way is an extreme method (continence – mastery over oneself).

●  Always cover the body and also cover the head and chest too, and do not wear dirty cloths.

● When you are walking you should wear footwear.

  The Mind Discipline

  ● Concentrate and fix the mind in the Cirsabhai; first concentrate in between the eyebrows.

● Do not follow bad things. 

● Do not find fault with others (do not gossip). 

● Do not be angry with others.  

● Put into practice self-denial (i.e. do not be self-centric and ego-centric person). 

● Remove the inconscient state and become the reality of the Truth (remove all the bad effects of the lower nature – the bad habits and wrong characters, and become the nature of Truth).        

● Have perfect control over yourself – over the tattvas in order that your energies are not spent wrongly.

  The Life Discipline

  ● See in equality all men and women without any differentiation of personal and family background – of family, lineage, clan, ethnic, race, caste, cult, sect, religion, custom, ashram – religious faith and spiritual ideal (the school of philosophy), ritualistic practice, national and egional identity, social status – low and high class, rich and poor, etc., and regarding everyone as your own people is the life discipline. 

  The Psychic (Soul) Discipline

  ● The souls that have taken the physical form – from elephant to ant, is called the Thirusabhai (the Sanctuary in the living beings) and the Light within the Soul is the Lord; and in Oneness see all beings and all things and everywhere your own Self without any differentiation – this Oneness is the psychic (soul) discipline.

  The Jeevakaarunya Discipline

  Jeevakaarunya Discipline means:

  1.  Manifesting psychic compassion towards all living beings and everything

2.  Non-killing

3.  Not taking non-vegetarian food

4.  Feeding the needy – benevolence to those in need

5.  No violence of any kind in thought, will, feeling, look, speech and action

  Jeevakaarunya in its purest form a divine compassion. Jeevakaarunya service is done as a worship of the Divine. Those who are sincerely open to the Arutperunjyothi Almighty and have no self-conceit and capable of manifesting the divine or psychic compassion become the instruments of the Divine. Jeevakaarunyam is the key to open the house of the Greater Bliss – the House of the Divine.

  Thus leads the Grace-Light of Vallalar.

  THE TEACHINGS OF VALLALAR

  Dehasampantham (On Sex – based on Vallalar’s health and spiritual perspective)

  The spending of seminal fluid should be taken care of. The seminal energy should not be spent away excessively – Vallalar says that once in 16 days the householders should have sex, and if it is indulged daily or frequently before 16 days, it is called excessive indulgence. Once in 16 days is recommended to expel the smut in the seminal fluid, and if the smut element in the seminal fluid is not expelled from the body it would harm the health. The sexual act is similar to the usage of the well, meaning if the water is taken out frequently or excessively, the water that comes up through the spring in the well would be reduced and eventually would dry up the spring, and the well will become useless. And if the water in the well is not taken out for a long time, the water would gather dirt (duckweed, moss, lichen, etc.) and the dirt would fill up the spring and block the water coming up through the spring and the remaining water in the well would evaporate in the heat of the sunlight. Likewise if one indulges continuously in the sexual act, seminal production would be reduced and soon the body will be ruined – getting a human body is a boon, and improper* and excessive spending of the seminal energy spoils the boon. Not to have sex also harms the health of the body, likewise the spring in the well mentioned above. That is, the seminal fluid would get spoiled if one never has sex and the seminal fluid would dry up in the heat that it produces and the body will be lost. The above is meant only for the householders. But he who ardently adores the Divine and manifests compassion towards all living beings the smut will not take place in the seminal fluid and the seminal force will be drawn upward – laziness and excessive sleep will hamper the process of drawing the seminal fluid upward, and he who always thinks of the Guru or the Feet of the Divine Lord (remembers the Divine always, contemplates on the Divine always), to him erection will not take place and he is called the greatly matured one. 

  Note: The conversion of the seminal fluid into nectar is an important aspect in the transformation of the being; therefore the need to preserve seminal energy is stressed upon.                    

  (*Improper indulgence refers to not observing health and moral rules regard to sex.)

  This is for householders. For to have coitus with a woman, before the coition, for about 24 minutes do not think of sex and put your mind on some other subject, and thereafter you should begin the coital act. At the time of coital act, there should be no differentiated knowledge that means without false notion or fancy, and with freedom from mind and vital, without rising the temperature of the body and mind, slanting on the left side perform the coital act.        

  Only for the purpose of procreation you should let the seminal fluid out (ejaculation of semen into the vagina) and other times you should with the proper method retain the seminal fluid – maintain coitus reservatus (sexual intercourse in which ejaculation is deliberately avoided), – the proper method is not to hold the oxygen inside and not to exhale the oxygen but make it run in the middle channel. Only once you should have coition – you should have coitus not more than once at a time. After the coital act is over, you should take bath and meditate on the Divine and then go for sleep. When you are sleeping you should lie on the left side only, – whenever you sleep or take rest – lying down, you should always lie on the left side. You should sleep for about 3 to 4 hours after that you should wake up and be in good thoughts.

  Do not have coition in the dawn, during the daytime, in the dusk and mid-night and early morning, and also before 3-4 hours after the food. To have sex once in four days in the night is adhama patcham – bad method – least time frame, once in eight days in the night is mathdima patcham – average method – moderate time frame, once in sixteen days in the night is uttama patcham – excellent method – best time frame recommended. Thereafter (after 16 days of restrain) if one does not have coition, passionately seminal discharges would take place. To have coitus once in four days would ruin the progeny of the generation therefore it is called adhama patcham – a mean method. 

  The semen is the wick for the flame of Jeevan (the living being) and blood is the oil. If you keep fiddling with the wick, the life gets ruined – the healthy life span will get reduced, but remove only the smut as to make the flame glow bright, that is once in 16 days have coition and expel the smut in the seminal fluid. Those who always think of the Feet of the Guru or the Divine Lord to him erection will not take place, and therefore it is advisable to have sex once in a while – 16 days is for average method adaptors and not for greatly matured one.     

  The spoilers of health

  There are four things – food, sex, sleep and fear that spoil us, and out of these sex is the most dangerous one, therefore take extreme care of sex.  If you do not take care of it, it would spoil the physical body and soon become invalid, if the body is ruined (and life is gone) it would be not possible to attain mukti (liberation and transformation). The human body is the only suitable body to attain the mukti and it is not that possible in any other body, therefore by any means take care of the body to last healthy.

  The Triple Desire – the undesirable desires

                                                         Those who aspire to experience the Suddha Sanmarga state – the aim of Suddha Sanmargam should not have earthly desire (real property desire) even in the waking state and desire for woman (sexual desire) even in the dream state and desire for gold (material desire) even in the sleeping state.

South of Vadalur is Chidambaram.

  The places to visit at Vadalur:

  1.  Sathya Jnana Sabhai – the Gnostic Centre – the Sanctuary of the Supreme-Grace-Light

2.  Dharmasalai – the Sanctuary of Dharma – a holy place of free food offering

3.  Metukkuppam – the Sanctuary of Siddhis – Siddhi Valaagam, the Holy Room of Vallalar

  Vallalar established Dharmasalai and Sathya Jnana Sabhai in Vadalur, it is located in the village Parvathipuram in Vadalur, and Vallalar calls this place as Uthtra Jnana Chidambaram. Vallalar lived in Dharmasalai for sometime. Before coming to Dharmasalai Vallalar lived in Karungkuzhi where he started Sanmarga Sangam and finally from Dharmasalai shifted to Metukkuppam where he with his deathless body become omnipresence.

  ● Vadalur: Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Jnana Sabhai (1872)

    The Sathya Jnana Sabhai is the unique Sanctuary in the world for the worship of the Supreme Divine! The divine master Ramalinga Vallalar with the Supreme Will built this Sanctuary in the year 1872 and named it Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Jnana Sabhai. Sathya Jnana Sabhai means the Gnostic Centre of the Supreme Truth (the divine Truth-Consciousness) and it is the Sanctuary of Light for the adoration and worship of the Arut-perun-jyothi Aandavar (means the Divine Lord of the Supreme-Grace-Light). The Sathya Jnana Sabhai is an octagonal shape shrine facing south direction. The long chain around the Sathya Jnana Sabhai is made of iron metal that is not rusted till date. The metal rings have two holes and they are connected together in a line as if a single mould and it is said that it signifies the two nostrils of nose through which human beings breathes. The first Jyothi Darshan took place on the Thai Poosam – 25 January 1872.

  The Jyothi Darshan takes place in Sathya Jnana Sabhai on every Poosam days. What is Poosam? Poosam is a star name. Poosam is a propitious star and it is one of the brightest stars. There are total seven veils before the Jyothi (the Light), the veils are unveiled during the Jyothi Darshan (6 veils are unveiled during the monthly Poosam Jyothi Darshan and all seven veils are unveiled during the Thai Poosam (Thai is the name of the Tamil month and Thai Poosam comes either in January or February). These veils represent the mayas – the illusions blocking the radiance of the Soul, the Self-Light as well as the Supreme-Grace-Light. These veils are as follows:

  1.   Black colour veil – signifies Mamayai (Maya Sakthi, Asuddha Maya Sakthi)

2.   Blue colour veil – signifies Aaruyir (Suddhaa Suddha Maya Sakthi)

3.   Green colour veil – signifies Paraveli (Kiriya Sakthi)

4.   Red colour veil – signifies Chithuru Veli (Para Sakthi)

5.   Golden colour veil – signifies Poruluru Veli (Iccha Sakthi)

6.   White colour veil – signifies Meipathi Veli (Jnana Sakthi)

7.   Mixed coloured veil – signifies Karudhu Anupavam (Adhi Sakthi)

            The significance of Sathya Jnana Sabhai is to lead us to realise the Self-Light within us as well as the Supreme-Grace-Light in the Supreme Abode above (the Transcendental Plane) and everywhere – the realisation of the Grace-Light within and without. Here in this Jnana Sabhai a lot of divine miracles and wonders would take place according to Vallalar. Here one would get enlightenment and all Siddhis (perfection, transformation and oneness), therefore, Vallalar also calls this holy place as a Siddhipuram – the Sanctuary of Siddhis. 

  Vallalar has advised people who take non-vegetarian food and kill living beings to avoid entering the Jnana Sabhai. One should follow Jeevakaarunyam and also other spiritual disciplines (Indhiriya, Karana, Aanma and Jiva Ozhukkam) to go inside the Sathya Jnana Sabhai. The rules of Sathya Jnana Sabhai must be followed and the sanctity of the Sathya Jnana Sabhai should be maintained. This Sanctuary would help everyone to receive the Divine Force and the Grace-Light if each and every one who goes there maintains discipline and silence and open to the Arutperunjyothi with adoration. Vallalar calls all to receive the Grace-Light, how wonderful it would be to heed the great call. Vallalar says that those who come to Vadalur may get good boons. Get a great boon and have a luminous life.

   Those who come to Vadalur may get good boons! ~ Vallalar

  Every month on the propitious Poosam Day (actually the Poosam Star comes once in 27 days cycle according to Tamil calendar), the Jyothi (the Light) is shown by unveiling 6 veils between 7.45 PM and 8.45 PM approximately (In this 1 hour, 3 times the Jyothi (the Light) is shown – each time 15 minutes approximately and 5 minutes pause will be there in between the Jyothi Darshan). Note the last veil ― the seventh one remains there covering the one third of the portion from the top approximately. On Poosam days, hundreds and thousands of devotees come to Vadalur to have the Jyothi Darshan in Sathya Jnana Sabhai.    

  Thai Poosam is the biggest festival in Vadalur. The most auspicious day is Thai Poosam, on the Thai Poosam Day (once in a year, in the Tamil month of Thai that comes in January or February), in the Sathya Jnana Sabhai, the Jyothi (the Light) is shown by unveiling all the 7 veils at 6 AM, 10 AM, 1 PM, 7 PM, 10 PM and the next day 6 AM – each time the Jyothi (the Light) is shown for about 1 hour.

    ●  Vadalur: Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Dharmasalai (1867)

    The Dharmasalai is the Sanctuary of Jeevakaarunyam. Dharmasalai means a place for free offering, especially food to the needy. Vallalar with the Supreme Will started Dharmasalai in the year 1867 and named it Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Dharmasalai. Since 1867, the holy Anaiya Aduppu (the holy ever-on-stove) in the Dharmasalai kitchen is incessantly on, that is the miracle of the Divine Grace and the Will of Vallalar. The food is cooked on this holy Anaiya Aduppu (the firewood stove, the fire is ever on – the embers glow on always!). Free vegetarian food is served three times a day to the poor and destitute people including children, aged, the sick, and also to visitors.

  Those who are awakened in their consciousness feel the Divine Presence and the radiance of the Grace-Light in the Sanctuary! An opening may come to those who visit Dharmasalai and they would feel the psychic compassion and the need and importance of Jeevakaarunya discipline. Jeevakaarunyam is a basic necessity for the transformation of world, for Jeevakaarunyam receives the transforming Grace-Light from the Supreme Divine Arutperunjyothi. Offering free food to the needy (starving people) and not killing the living beings are basic steps in the Jeevakaarunyam. This Dharmasalai stands as an example of Jeevakaarunyam.

    Jeevakaarunyam is the way to worship the Divine; Jeevakaarunyam is the way to receive the Grace-Light; Jeevakaarunyam is the key to open the house of greater Bliss.  Thus says Vallalar

  It is the Divine Blessings to get a chance to offer volunteering service in the Dharmasalai.  Sanmarga Sadhaks should offer volunteering service with at most care and compassion and receive the Grace-Light.

  Vallalar lived in the Dharmasalai, Vadalur from 1867 to 1870 (Vallalar’s age 44-47). In the Dharmasalai facing south, Vallalar’s silvery image is there in the middle and on the right side (viewers side) Anaiya Vilakku, the Jyothi (the Light) of the oil earthen-lamp is there, and the holy Lamp is ever on since 1867 and on the left side (viewers side) Vallalar’s original hand written notebook of Arutperunjyothi Agaval is on the display.

  Aaru Kaala Poojai (6 time Pooja) is performed daily in the Dharmasalai at 5 AM, 6 AM, 12 Noon, 4 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM

  ●  Metukuppam: Siddhi Valaagam – the Sanctuary of Siddhis

    (Metukuppam is 7 km from Vadalur and 3 km short-cut road from Sathya Jnana Sabhai)

    Vallalar lived in this holy place from 1870 to 1874 (Vallalar’s age 47-51). Vallalar named this holy place Siddhi Valaagam. The Siddhi Valaagam is the Sanctuary of Siddhis. Siddhi means perfection – also it denotes transformation and oneness, and a power to perform a function of the Divine. Vallalar says that here in this Siddhi Valaagam one would get the Supreme Help, which is greater than any help that one can receive from parents, siblings, preceptor, kith and kin or anyone else. 

  Vallalar has realised the triple transformation of the body – Suddha Pranava Jnana Deham (the Pure Gnostic Body of the Grace-Light – the Golden Body), and attained the Deathlessness (conquered death). He lived physically many years in the transformed Deathless Body of Grace-Light embodying and expressing the Truth-Consciousness. Vallalar went inside the room at midnight on 30 January 1874, and thereafter the miraculous disappearance of Vallalar took place as the Supreme Lord willed – the mystical event in the hour of God. Vallalar did not die! When the room was opened his physical body could not be seen – perhaps by the ignorant eyes or the Divine conceals the transformed physical body of Vallalar! Vallalar’s whole being including the body become the Infinite Existence of the Divine and Vallalar keeps manifesting as the Supreme-Grace-Light – the glorious manifestation of the Eternal. It is said that Vallalar told the disciples who gathered in Siddhi Valaagam just before going into the Holy Room and the hour of God, the following divine utterance: “Hereafter I would be everywhere” – the one who become everywhere – merged one with the Spirit in all living beings and the Spirit-Light that pervades everywhere – the omnipresence, the eternal Presence everywhere! 

  Vallalar leads all beings to live a luminous life blissfully. May all the beings be eternally grateful to Vallalar for the Divine Work – the Divine Force that helps to grow into the greater life or gnostic life of the Divine in a deathless body – that is the Divine Help, that is the Supreme Grace for all.

                                                                                                                   Vallalar has kept the oil earthen-lamp in the Siddhi Valaagam facing south and asked people to pray to the Jyothi (the Light) and ardently adore the Arutperunjothi Aandavar (the Lord of the Supreme-Grace-Light) and sincerely aspire to the blissful Greater Life in a Deathless Body of the Grace-Light.  Ever since 1873, the Jyothi (the Light) of the oil earthen-lamp in the Siddhi Valaagam is on continuously – the Ever-On-Light is called the Anaiya Jyothi in Tamil and Akand Deep in Sanskrit/Hindi. 

  Vallalar’s Thiru Arai Dharisanam (The Darshan of the Holy Room of Vallalar)

  Vallalar’s Presence is there in this Holy Room as the manifestation of the Supreme-Grace-Light. Once in a year, on the third day from the Thai Poosam, the Holy Room Darshan (the Door Darshan of the Holy Room) takes place from 12 noon to 6 pm. (the window of the room in front of the Holy Room opens after 12 noon, and through the window the Holy Room (Door) is seen)

  ●  Karungkuzhi: Thanneeril Vilakku Yerindha Illam. Vallalar lived 9 years in this holy place from 1858 to 1867 (Vallalar’s age 35-44). Vallalar came to Karungkuzhi after shifting from Chennai and started living there. Vallalar established Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Sangam (a new world order of the Divine) from here in the year 1865.  In this place a miracle took place – a Lamp was on with water instead of oil! Karungkuzhi is about 1-1½ km from Metukkuppam.

    ●  Theensuvai Neeroodai at Mètukkuppam (in between Metukkuppam and Karungkuzhi)

This is a holy sweet stream. It is said that this small stream (may be 100-125 meters long and neck deep stream) once got dried and Vallalar pulled the small stick across the soil to give it a divine touch, thereafter the water in the stream never dried! The water in the stream is tasty hence the name Theen Suvai Neeroodai. This holy water preserved over a long period in a can or a bottle never gets spoiled!    

  ● Marudhur: Vallalar Pirantha Veedu – the birthplace of Ramalinga Vallalar. Vallalar was born on 05 October 1823 in Marudhur village. He lived here for a few months only. Soon after his father’s demise (Vallalar was five months old when his father passed away), the family had shifted to Ponneri Chinnakavanam (Vallalar mother’s native place near Chennai and after a year or two shifted to Chennai city. Vallalar lived in Chennai till the year 1858 – till the age of 35).  Marudhur is about 11 km from Vadalur towards south. Also Marudhur is connected to Chidambaram by road.

      The establishments and places of Vallalar mentioned below are now looked after by a trust called Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar Deiva Nilayam and this organisation is now a Government Undertaking organisation – comes under the Hindu Aranilai Thurai of Tamil Nadu Government. All offerings and donations to this organisation should be given to Thiru Autprakasa Vallalar Deiva Nilayam, Vadalur.

Thiru Arutpaa - Written By Vallalar Ramalinga Adigal

[ramalingavallalar]

Ramalinga Vallalar - A Brief Introduction of His Life and Mission

The Supreme Lord has blessed the Earth especially, and the other worlds too got the benefit of it indeed by Him sending His first Son* to the Earth. The Divine Child was born on 5 October 1823 at around 5.30 PM. The human parents of the Golden Child named the Son of God as Ramalingam. The luminous divine son Ramalingam used to sign as Chidambaram Ramalingam. The Sanmarga followers and people at large reverently and fondly called him Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar, the Holy Munificent of the Radiant Grace, and thenceforth he is popularly known as VALLALAR. The advent of Vallalar is the greatest milestone in the history of Divine Manifestation.

  Vallalar, a Divine Incarnation, a mystic-poet, a social reformer, a spiritual revolutionist, and an evolutionist – a pioneer of divine transformation was sent by the Supreme Divine to redeem the world and to establish and lead the Suddha Sanmargam, the supreme pathway that transforms death and establishes the Greater Life of the Divine in a Deathless Body of the Grace-Light to live eternally blissful on Earth and also in the other worlds.

  Vallalar was born in Marudhur, a place near Vadalur and also to Chidambaram, in Tamil Nadu, a southern state in India. He lived in Marudhur for a few months only. Vallalar was five months old when his father passed away. Soon after his father’s demise, the family had shifted to Ponneri Chinnakavanam, Vallalar mother’s native place near Chennai in the year 1824 and after a year or two shifted to Chennai city. Vallalar lived in Chennai till the year 1858 – till the age of 35.  Vallalar from his young age led a gnostic way of life.

  Vallalar shifted from Chennai and came to Karungkuzhi near Vadalur and lived there for 9 years from 1858 to 1867 (Vallalar’s age 35-44). Vallalar, with the sanction of the Supreme, in the year 1865, from Karungkuzhi, started a new world order of the Divine – Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Sangam to lead the people to live divinely with the Grace-Light principles of the Divine. Sanmargam is the Reality of the Supreme. Vallalar has said that the Supreme Divine is the Chief of the Sanmarga Sangam and he is authorised by the Supreme to lead the Sanmarga movement. The Suddha Sanmargam helps the beings not only in this world but also in the other worlds too for their divine transformation. Vallalar leads the Sanmargam with the Will of the Supreme. The Supreme Lord has bestowed all the Five-Functions of the Divine on Vallalar – creation, maintenance, controlment, concealment and manifestation, to lead all the beings of the worlds to the Light Principle of the Supreme, to the divine Truth-Consciousness and to the Deathlessness – to live eternally blissful.

  Vallalar is especially known for the divine compassion – Jeevakaarunya Ozhukkam, the principle of non-killing, vegetarianism, regarding every being as his own self, the psychic love – Aanmaneya Orumaippaadu, the soul-brotherhood and oneness, the divine Truth-Consciousness, and Sagakalai, the art of Deathlessness among other divine aspects. The world’s redeemer Vallalar is the Grace-Light of the Supreme to save and succour living beings from their wrong doings and sufferings and to lead the human beings to grow into the Truth-Consciousness – the divine nature and to the Immortal Life in a Deathless Body – the divine living. Thus the Grace-Light leads the beings of the worlds to live with peace and harmony and happiness of the Divine.

  Vallalar has composed about 6000 devotional and spiritual and metaphysical poems known as ThiruArutpa, the Hymns of the Supreme  Grace in Tamil language – the Words of the Divine – Vallalar’s words are divine revelation and his works are decisive action of the Arut-perun-jyothi Almighty – the Lord of the Supreme-Grace-Light! Thiruarutpa is known for its literary splendour, metrical magic, philosophical exposition, metaphysical insight and emotional fervour – the Adoration of the Arutperunjyothi Almighty. Apart from his magnum opus Thiruarutpa (consists of total six Thirumurais – books), he wrote Urainadai, which consists of his Suddha Sanmarga teachings – the Jeevakaarunya Ozhukkam, the medicinal herbs, etc.

  Vallalar’s Thiruarutpa is the Holy Book of God for all God lovers and aspirants (especially the 6th Thirumurai of Thiruarutpa is for all). Thiruarutpa is the scripture of Suddha Sanmargam. The Suddha Sanmargam is the pure spiritual path free from religion and thus it is the commonest pathway for all to follow and realise and manifest the Divine. Thiruarutpa is the scripture for true life, a light that dispels the darkness of ignorance, a truth-light that saves from falsehood, a key to find the supreme Truth, an awareness of the Reality, a key to realise the Supreme Divine – the Arutperunjyothi Almighty, a key to the art of Deathlessness – shows the way from mortality to immortality, a guiding light to the art of living divinely, an account of human nature and its transformation – a mantra for transformation, a mantra to greaten the consciousness, a note on the future of living beings (including man and the beings of the other worlds including the so-called gods) and of the evolution, a note of prophecies, a prayer for all – for the total welfare of the worlds, a prayer to the Divine for the fulfilment of life, etc. Thiruarutpa is the gift of the Grace to all – the supreme Gift. Thiruarutpa is Vallalar’s own experience and his divine work. The conscious reading of Thiruarutpa helps one to connect to the living and conscious Force and the Grace-Light of Vallalar, which helps our journey from inconscient state to superconscient state. Therefore Thiruarutpa is the Holy Book for all.

  Vallalar says that the Supreme Divine is in the form of the Supreme-Grace-Light and calls the Supreme-Grace-Light as Arut-perun-jyothi. Vallalar says that all should adore only the One Divine – the Arutperunjyothi Aandavar, the Divine Lord of the Supreme-Grace-Light. Vallalar asks us to pray for all and he says, “It is not proper that one prays for oneself – only for the self needs. One should pray for the total welfare of the world and in that prayer all needs of one is also taken into the account.” Vallalar felt pity on those brothers (the people) who did not know the Divine and circumambulated him as if circumambulating the Divine – this blind ritual and also other religious rituals and superstitions he does not accept and tells them how to worship the Divine in a true way. When we adore the Arutperunjyothi Almighty, Vallalar is pleased and leads us to the One Divine rather when we reach Vallalar or when Vallalar comes to us, we are awakened in our consciousness and led to worship only the One Divine properly as well as led to realise and manifest the Divine. Vallalar is the divine source of inspiration as well as the directive Consciousness-Force of the Divine. Vallalar, with the sanction of the Supreme, built Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Jnana Sabhai (the Sanctuary of the Supreme-Grace-Light) at Vadalur in the year 1872 for people to worship the Arutperunjyothi and also in the Siddhi Valaagam, Metukuppam, in the month of November 1873, he placed the Holy Lamp, asking people to worship the Arutperunjyothi and he also told how to worship with deep emotional fervour with the help of his Jnana Sariyai Hymns to realise the Self-Light and the Supreme-Grace-Light and to attain a greater life in a deathless body and manifest the Divine! 

  Vallalar says that the Supreme Divine has the unique Compassion – the infinite Divine Compassion and His Compassion on us is nothing but Grace for us. Vallalar asks us to manifest compassion for all living beings and love for the Supreme Being to receive the Divine Grace from the Supreme Lord – the Arutperunjyothi Almighty. Vallalar emphasised two essential principles of Suddha Sanmargam among other great principles that must be followed – Jeevakaarunya Ozhukkam and Aanmaneya Orumaippaadu.

  Vallalar says, “Jeevakaarunyam is the way to worship the Divine; Jeevakaarunyam is the way to receive the Divine Grace; Jeevakaarunyam is the key to get into the House of Bliss – the House of God.” And he is quite categorical that those who do yoga, tapas, vrata, japa, dhyana and seek jnana without Jeevakaarunya discipline would be the least instruments of the Divine (not a divine worthy person at all). You cannot regard them as one who has the light of the inmost soul. You must know that all these pursuits without Jeevakaarunya discipline are nothing but a mayajala (illusory) futile acts. Jeevakaarunya discipline means: manifesting psychic compassion towards all living beings and everything – non-killing, not taking non-vegetarian food, feeding the needy (free offering of vegetarian food only) – benevolence to those in need, and no violence of any kind in thought, will, feeling, look, speech and action. Aanmaneya Orumaippaadu is regarding all beings with love and oneness of the soul-consciousness for the love of God in all and the oneness with God in all – Vallalar decreed that all should manifest the Aanmaneya Orumaippadu, the soul-brotherhood and oneness for the welfare of the world – the world unity and the outcome of it will be peace, harmony, happiness, etc. If we put into practice these essential principles of Suddha Sanmargam, the Divine will do the rest for us to live divinely a blissful life, according to Vallalar.

  Vallalar was deeply concerned with eradicating starvation and said that the main aim of Jeevakaarunyam is to purge the distress of starvation and killing. Vallalar with the Divine Compassion started Dharmasalai (a free vegetarian food offering place) in the year 1867 in Vadalur and named it Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathya Dharmasalai – the Sanctuary of Jeevakaarunyam. He lived in Dharmasalai, Vadalur from 1867 to 1870. The Dharmasalai is continuously functioning – the firewood-stove in the Dharmasalai kitchen is always on since its inception 1867 and free three-time vegetarian food is offered to the needy and to the visitors too, that is the miracle of the Divine Grace and the Will of Vallalar. One should not allow oneself to become indifferent to the sufferings of others. All must put into practice the Jeevakaarunyam. Hundreds and thousands of Sanmarga followers offer free food to the needy. Jeevakaarunyam is the right to food principle of the Divine and Jeevakaarunyam is nothing but the expression of the gamut of Divine Compassion to all. Jeevakaarunyam is a basic necessity for the transformation of world – free from starvation and suffering, for Jeevakaarunyam receives the transforming Grace-Light from the Supreme Divine Arutperunjyothi. Vallalar leads the Jeevakaarunya movement. The plenary inspiration, the guiding Light and the Force of Vallalar helps us to manifest love and compassion, which opens the being to receive the Grace-Light and with the Grace-Light we lead a luminous life – to live divinely is a great help to others indeed.

  Vallalar was graced with a highest evolution on the Earth plane as well as on the other planes too. The advent of Vallalar is the greatest milestone in the history of evolution. Vallalar’s entire being including physical body was transformed into deathless divine being. Vallalar had become the Supreme-Grace-Light. The Grace-Light of Vallalar is the bathmic force that leads us to evolve to the Highest and become the deathless divine being – the deathless gnostic beings, the deathless theandric beings (means the divine being in the human form) upon Earth in the pathway of Suddha Sanmarg. The bathmic force of the Vallalar also helps the beings in the other worlds to evolve too. He has been decisively working for the transformation of human beings and for higher beings to manifest – that is the Will of the Supreme. Evolution moves with the pace of Nature in the grand scheme of God. Since the advent of Vallalar, the bathmic force of the Supreme-Grace-Light hastens and intensifies the evolutionary movement – the age of Sanmargam has began. 

  Vallalar is the first one and the only one till now who got the Supreme State – the glorious Sanmarga State of the Divine on Earth as well as on other planes. Vallalar ardently prays to the Supreme for others to get the Sanmarga State like him. Those who are conscious and open to the Supreme-Grace-Light feel and experience the Divine Force working in them as well in the world for the evolution of consciousness. When the Truth-Consciousness and the Grace-Light descends on the being and penetrates into all the cells of being, it is then the being is transformed into deathless being of Grace-Light embodying and expressing divine Truth-Consciousness and Bliss. Vallalar shows the pathway “Suddha Sanmargam” to the glorious transformation and manifestation of the Divine – the life is transformed into the gnostic life or divine life. Vallalar leads all beings to live a life blissfully – that is the Divine Help; that is the Supreme Grace for all.

  Vallalar shifted to Metukuppam Siddhi Valaagam near Vadalur in the year 1870 and started living there. At Siddhi Valaagam, Vallalar hoisted the Sanmarga Flag on 22 October 1873. Vallalar delivered a great sermon on this occasion and stated the significance of the Sanmarga Flag. The Sanmarga Flag is a two colour flag, the top one third is yellow colour and the bottom two third is white colour, which signifies the colour of the Light within – the subtle nerve from the Nabi (Navel – Manipura Chakra, the Solar Plexus) in the human body runs upward to the Centre inside the head, between the eyebrows – Ajna Chakra, the brow chakra, where a soft tissue-like thing is hanging – perhaps refers to the pineal gland, also referred as the third eye in the spirituality, a Light is there – the Self-Light and the colour of the Light is whitish in the bottom two third portion and yellowish (or golden yellow) in the top one third portion. Vallalar says that through the eye of the realisation we will see it. It is precisely to bring to the notice through external means in a symbolic way this Sanmarga Flag that is hoisted today and hereafter all would see it in their realisation.

  Vallalar on the occasion of flag hoisting, in the great sermon gives the Mahamantra to one and all and says that the Supreme Lord removes all obstacles, for all to get the Supreme Bliss, the Lord reveals the great words of the Supreme Grace, a divine Mahamantra to realise the final Supreme Beatitude, the Mahamantra that reveals the Truth of the Divine and as it is revealed to me I say on this occasion that like I experienced it in my joyous ecstasy of realisation of the Truth-Knowledge-Bliss you all should experience it without doubt, illusion, spiritual ignorance, confusion and wrong understanding which stand as obstacles to the realisation of the Divine. This I stated, stating and will state in the manifestation of the soul-brotherhood and oneness that rises ardently in me. This is our Lord’s Decree, our first Sadhana (spiritual practice) is Karunai – Compassion, and therefore the Lord has revealed to us this Thirumandiram ( The Holy Mantra), as follows:

   Arut-perun-jyothi   Arut-perun-jyothi

Thanip-perung-karunai   Arut-perun-jyothi

  The meaning of the Mahamantra:

Supreme-Grace-Light    Supreme-Grace-Light

Supreme-Compassion-Unique   Supreme-Grace-Light

  Vallalar says further in his great sermon that compassion, pity, mercy and Grace all signify the same thing. Therefore the knowledge of supreme Compassion is an absolute Bliss. That is an unparallel supreme wisdom of the supreme Compassion. This is the divine revelation, in this way the Sadhana culminates, there would not be any obstacle to realise the final Beatitude of the Divine. You should know this in the maxim, “If one follows the book of Knowledge, it shall result in what is revealed in it.” 

  Vallalar has realised total transformation of his entire being – the triple transformation of the body – Suddha Pranava Jnana Deham(the Pure Gnostic Body – the Golden Body, the Grace-Light Body), and attained the Deathlessness (conquered death – transformation of death). He lived physically many years in the transformed Deathless Body of Grace-Light embodying and expressing the Truth-Consciousness! Vallalar went inside the room at midnight on 30 January 1874, and thereafter the miraculous disappearance of Vallalar took place as the Supreme Lord willed – the mystical event in the hour of God. Vallalar did not die! When the room was opened his physical body could not be seen – perhaps by the ignorant eyes or the Divine conceals the transformed physical body of Vallalar! Vallalar’s whole being including the body become the Infinite Existence of the Divine and Vallalar keeps manifesting as the Supreme-Grace-Light – the glorious manifestation of the Eternal. It is said that Vallalar told the disciples who gathered in Siddhi Valaagam just before going into the Holy Room and the hour of God, the following divine utterance: “Hereafter, I would be everywhere” – the one who become everywhere – merged one with the Spirit in all living beings and the Spirit-Light that pervades everywhere – the eternal Presence everywhere!

5 October 2013 - Vallalar's 190 Birth Anniversary Message

THE ADVENT

  It is time to transform all the people

      of the world, whose inner being is in darkness

And outer seemingly white, and lead them

      to become part of Sanmarga Sangam

For them to become divine and get

      the eternal bliss in this life itself on Earth.

It is for that God has sent me to this world,

      and I am blessed with the Grace.

  ~ VALLALAR  (Translated by Dhinakaranar)

    GLORY TO VALLALAR!

                                                                                                                                                   The Supreme Lord has sent Thiruarutprakasa Vallalar (aka) Chidambaram Ramalingam to this world. The advent of Vallalar is the greatest milestone in the history of Divine Manifestation. The birth of Vallalar was the beginning of a major epoch of spiritual and social revolution – the Sanmarga movement. Vallalar is the nonpareil Deathless Being of the Grace-Light embodying the supreme Truth-Consciousness and manifesting the Divine. Vallalar is the ultimate definition of Divine Compassion and the epitome of Divine Love. Vallalar’s action is the incisive action of the Arut-perun-jyothi Almighty (the Lord of the Supreme-Grace-Light), – the transformative Force of the Supreme, the power of Supreme Grace and the Truth-Light Principle, the all-governing Five Functions of the Divine for the world transformation and divine manifestation. Vallalar is the leading pioneer of evolutionary transformation, and Vallalar’s Grace-Light and Force acts as a bathmic force for our evolutionary development to a higher and higher and to the Highest – to become the deathless divine being. And also it helps other beings in all the worlds to evolve. Vallalar’s Suddha Sanmargam is the ultimate pathway that annihilates death and establishes blissful Greater Life in the deathless body, and also helps all beings to live happily.

  Let us ever be grateful to the Arutperunjyothi Almighty for the advent of Vallalar, the first son of the Supreme Lord who became one with Him and ever manifests as the Grace-Light leading the Suddha Sanmargam for the world transformation and divine manifestation. Arutperunjyothi is the One Divine for all beings in all the worlds, says Vallalar.  To pay our greatest respect and express our gratitude to Vallalar is to turn to his call and sincerely remain open to the Arutperunjyothi and live accordingly – to become a living example of Vallalar’s teachings is the only way to express our infinite gratitude to Vallalar and to the Arutperunjyothi Almighty, the Supreme Divine. Glory to Arutperunjyothi! Glory to Vallalar!
