Provide food to the needy and it is good. Not only providing food but do all the necessary help. These acts will also fetch you good merits. But to do all these social activities there are many institutions in this world. What is the specialty of Sanmargam. This is where Vallalar differs and becomes nobler. One one who is calling themselves Sanmargi has to realize this !!
The only goal of Vallalar is this “Oho people of the world come let us live in the divine blissful life of deathlessness”. So a true Sanmargi should do these 1. Learn the Education of Deathlessness which is by opening the karmic lock in the middle of the eye through a qualified Gnana Sarguru 2. Do penance and attain the state of blissful deathless life, 3. Tell others about this great blissful life of deathlessness as told by Vallalar. But other than doing these the people who call themselves devotees of Vallalar do all other things. This is the sad part. This is what Vallalar felt in those days as well. He prayed to the Supreme Lord of Supreme Divine Light to give the people good knowledge and intelligence.
“One who do not take Non-Veg food and have stopped Killing stood enter” , these were the words scripted by Vallalar in the entrance of the great temple of Gnanam “Sathiya Gnana Sabai”. Once rationalist E.V.Periyaar came to Vadalur and when he read these words he did not get inside the temple. He told that he has high regards and respect for Vallalar and offered his worship from outside and left the place. Even though Periyaar is an atheist he is a great man.
One who have shun eating of Non-Vegetarian food were eligible to even call the name of Vallalar. People who call themselves Sanmargis and who run Sanmarga Sangam should first leave aside killing and eating Non-Veg food. Sanmargis should definitely never indulge in the five great sins of 1. Stealing, 2. Killing & Non-Veg Food Eating, 3. Alcoholism, 4. Lying and 5. Immoral Lust. We should be with good moral and should be virtuous. Definitely we should possess good conduct , humbleness and love. Atleast we should spend some effort in Self and God realization. Only then we will be reformed.
Guru of the World Vallalar asks us “If you really want to see and realize the Supreme Lord will your eyes ever stop tears and will you ever show interest in food”. What does this means? All the time if our mind constantly thinks on the divine light of eyes with consciousness in the eyes with tenderness and softness tears in our eyes will flow out. This is Penance. Think of the divine light of the eye, get the divine consciousness in the eye through a Gnana Sarguru and do penance and this penance will give tenderness and softness by which tears in the eye will flow out. If we keep doing penance in this way i.e if the tears in our eyes keep coming always do we ever think of food?! Can you now understand what Vallalar meant?! Do not concentrate on food but always pray the lord with tears in eye. This state of Penance in Gnana is what told by the great Gnani and Saint TiruNaavukarasar as “If One Cries he will get the grace of Lord”. There is a siddhar by the name “Alugaani Siddhar”. Alugaani means one who is always crying. He will be always crying on penance. Hence he is given the name.
Vallalar has never criticized anything like he criticized meat eating. This is one of the biggest and compulsory doctrine in the teaching of Vallalar. Even if the world is split in the name of caste, creed, region, religion and nationality Vallalar saw every one as his soul. But he splits the world in to two on the basis of meat eating. Vallalar classifies the people who do not take Non-Veg food and who never indulge in killing as “Agavinathaar” and only these people will get the grace of the Lord. The other type of
people who get Non-Veg food were classified as “Puravinathaar” and they will never get the grace of the Supreme Lord. Vallalar tells us that this noble instruction was told to him by the Supreme Lord himself.
Transliteration of Tiruvarutpa Song: “Maruvaanai Pennaaki Oru Kanathil
KanVilithu Vayangum Appen Uruvaanai Urvaaki Iranthavarai
Elupukinra Uruvenum Karuvaanai Yura Irangaa Uyir Udambai
Kadinthu Unnum Karuthanel eng GuruVaanai Emathu Siva Kolunthaanai
Gnani Ena Kura Onnathae”
TiruVarutpa 2nd Chapter
[Meaning : Even if one has the capability to convert Male Palmyra tree to female and then recovert it back and even if one has the divine power to recreate a girl from her dead bones and ashes and even if one has the divine power to raise the dead one but if he eats the meat of dead ones then never call him Gnani and he will never cross the birth-death cycle. Vallalar tells this is the order of his Guru the Supreme Lord]
So it is must for every person in the Sanmarga Sangam to be as Agavinathaar. Puravinathaar should never come to Vadalur.
When we took birth we came naked and after death also we become naked. So where Caste, religion, race or Language does comes? All the people of the world belongs to the race of humans. Within us there are only two types: Male and Female. For this world Supreme Lord is only one and he is the one who is our father and mother.
Lot of Saints and Gnanis have told that the state of bigger nakedness should be got? What is meant by this. Without any attachments in our mind we should constantly fix it on the Supreme Lord. This is the state of bigger nakedness. We should live like the great Rishi Sugha Brahmam and like Sadha Siva Brahmendrar. Just getting nakedness by removing our dress is great shame.
The main goal of Sutha Sanmargam is to get “AanmaNeya OrumaiPaadu” which is seeing all souls as us. The main obstacle for this is the differences of caste and religion. World Guru Vallalar calls the people of the world “Remove the differences of caste and religion and unite in the path of Sathiya Suttha Sanmargam”.
Transliteration of the song in Tiruvarutpa “Saathirangal ellaam Thadumaatram solvathanri
Nethirangal pol ner kaata Neraavae – Nethirangal Chitrambalavaan TiruVarut Seer Vannam Enrae
Utring Karinthaen Uvanthu”
– TiruVarutpa 6th Volume
[Meaning : All the Puranas, Vedas, Epics, Upanishads and other scriptures tell the divine truth in hidden and secret way by using cryptic code words. Nethiram means Eye. Those scriptures will not show the divine truth like our eyes. Eyes were the place where lord is dancing. Chitrambalam means small Ambalam. Ambalam means a place which can be seen by all. Chitrambalam denotes the place which is our eyes where the supreme lord as tiny divine light is displaying himself. Our eyes were the divine gift of lord to us. ] Vallalar who came to know this divine secret announces it to the whole world. Who can do such a divine donation other than Vallalar.
To get Gnanam do not seek the lord outside but seek him within you. First see the divine light in the pupil of the eyes which were Supreme Lord’s holy feet. Seek and get a Gnana SarGuru and through him get the Deekshai. Deekshai is called by different names like Satchu Deekshai, Nayana Deekshai, Tiruvadi Deekshai, Dasa Deekshai and MeiPorul Deekshai. All represents the same thing. Deekshai means getting divine consciousness in your two eyes which are A and Vu 8 and 2 and also in 10 which is the third eye or seat of soul. Divine Consciousness is got by Gnana Sarguru’s divine light of the eyes. So do not get fooled by anyone who uses the tricks of words. Know this for Gnana there is only one Deekshai and that is this only. Thinking again and again on the divine light in the pupil of eyes with the help of divine consciousness got by the grace of Guru and then merging in this consciousness is Penance of Gnana. This is called “Maanasa Pujai”. Greatest Gnanam that is rare of rarest.
Vallalar who build Sathiya Gnana Sabai and dedicated to the people of the world also created a flag for the Sanmarga Sanagam. Even this flag is also to propagate the Gnanam. The color of the flag is the color of light that is seen inside us. Upper small part of the flag is Yellow and the lower bigger part of the flag is white. This is the flag of Sanmarga. In the Srimuga year of Tamil month Ippasi in the 7th day in the weekday of Tuesday morning around 8o clock in Metukuppam Siddhi Valaaga building outside he hoisted the flag of Sanmarga. He then gave his people a great sermon called by beloved members as “Perubadesam”.
Guru of the world TiruArutPrakasa Vallalar Ramalinga Swamigal in the year of Srimuga in the next month after hoisting the flag of Sanmargam which happened to be the Tamil Month of Kartikai he took the lamp from inside the building of Siddhi Valaagam and kept it outside and told people to worship it without any hindrance. He then told people the following “The Supreme Lord is available in the divine light of the lamp and hence you people instead of wasting your time do like what is told in 28 songs in “Gnana Sariyai” chapter of Tiruvartupa in this light of the lamp. I am now here and hereafter I will enter in the bodies of all living beings”
People who talk about Sanmargam should know and realize the Upadesam and the meaning of Gnanam told by Vallalar. You have to keep seeing the light of the lamp. What is the use of sitting before the lamp
with the eyes closed. If someone tells that he is doing meditation with his eyes closed then he is a great fool. Open your eyes and see the light of the lamp.
What does the 28 songs of GnanaSariyai denotes. The meaning of the song is “With the eyes open and by thinking again and again on the divine light in the pupil of eyes with the help of divine consciousness got by the grace of Guru and then merging in this consciousness is Penance of Gnana.” This is how penance should be done. How do you get the consciousness in the eye if you close your eyes?! First open your eyes then think and realize. This is the spiritual practice of Meditation and Penance.
Vallalar himself is telling this, can’t you still understand? At least from now on you do penance by keeping your eyes open, oho Sanmargi.
The most important of all those were his last words which is “I am here now and from now on I will enter inside every one’s body”. It is because of our good merit the guru of the world Vallalar entering in our body and guiding us. How does he enters our body? When one gets the spiritual lock of his eyes opened through a Sarguru will he enters inside one’s body.
One who lives as per the words of Vallalar and one who have the spiritual lock of his eyes opened through a Sarguru and in the bodies of those people will Vallalar enter as light in the Sukshama. One who gets Deekshai in this way and gets the grace of Vallalar is a true Sanmargi.
So many saints and Gnanis have come to this world. But who like Vallalar is with us and guiding us for getting the blissful deathless life. This shows the love and compassion Vallalar has on the people of world.

[Meaning : In this Song Vallalar says he asked the lord to give him an ever indestructable body which will not be destructed by any of the five basic elements, radiation, rays, disease, effects of planets, by instruments for killing or by the deeds of others or by any means. The Supreme Lord immediately gave him this. Vallalar tells it is not insult to receive this boon and calls on the people of the world to always stand with the Supreme Lord]

[Meaning: I got the boon of deathlessness and removing all my difference the supreme lord united with me and I united with the supreme lord and we became one. Who would have done such a great penance, Oho people of the world drink the divine nectar by the grace of Supreme Lord of Supreme Divine Light and live a blissful life without any sorrow]

[Meaning : In this song Vallalar tells that the Supreme Lord showed him all the states in spirituality and in other things. Lord also showed Vallalar his state and bestowed him the state of deathlessness and the state of being normal. Lord also showed Vallalar the place where mind will melt (Mind will melt only in the divine light of eyes) and gave him bliss and pleasure. Vallalar praises Lord there is no one equal to the Lord in showering Grace].

[Meaning : I got the Pure form, blissful form, indestructible form and the Gnana form of divine siddhis
I got everything for performing the divine deeds]
“Oona udambae Oli Udambaai Ongi Nirka Gnana Amudhu enaku Nalkiyathe – Vaana Porut Perum Jothi Pothivil Vilangum ArutPerum Jothi Aathu“
– TiruVarutpa 6th Volume
[Meaning : My materialistic body got converted to divine light body which is indestructible. I was also bestowed with divine Amirtham of Gnanam. All this was provided to me by the Supreme Divine Light”]
In this way TiruArutPrakasa Vallalar right from his birth till he got divine light body and united with the Supreme Lord so many miracles happened. The boons bestowed to Vallalar were such that no one else have received them. Vallalar sings that none in this world or in any other world has received the boons and deathlessness state that he has got.
“My Path is death Eradicating Path of Sanmargam”, “End Result of Sanmargam is to attain deathlessness”, “One who does not die is a Sanmargi”. All these were preached by Vallalar to the world. He is making us to realize this. Even now he is the one who is making and guiding us to realize without himself appearing to our eyes.
After living a complete life of Penance TiruArutPrakasa Vallalar Ramalinga Swamigal within his 51 age he gave to the world 6 Volumes of TiruVarutpa, institution of Dharma Saalai, Sathya Gnana Sabai and Siddhi Valaagam as his divine grace. The life of Vallalar is the useful life for the world. His Upadesam or Preaching will make a human as Gnani.
