ABSTRACT:
This paper reviews about the Vallalar’s principles (Saint Ramalinga Adigalar also known as Tiru.Arut Prakasa Vallalar or Vallal Peruman), the significance of Jeevakarunyam, which translates to compassion or mercy towards all living beings and shrine of true wisdom. It emphasizes the natural enlightenment that stems from recognizing the inherent connection among living beings. Just as human compassion leads to the cultivation of mercy, divine enlightenment arises from an awareness of this intrinsic bond. Practical experience shows that such spiritual grace cannot be attained by any other means, underscoring that the grace of the Almighty is accessible only through a disciplined life imbued with sincere compassion. Saint Ramalinga Adigalar articulated the principles of Jeevakarunyam in three key writings within Thiruvarutpa. This paper is dedicated to exploring his divine teachings, which guide us toward spiritual transformation and godliness.
