Thiru Arutprakasha Vallalar
Chidambaram Ramalingam, known as Vallalar, was born in Marudur on October 5, 1823. From childhood, he displayed deep devotion and a strong inclination towards God.
He began writing devotional poems at the age of nine in Chennai's Kandha Kottam. Later, he moved to Vadalur, where he composed approximately 6,000 tamil divine songs collectively known as Thiru-arutpa. Vallalar established the Sathya Dharma Salai to provide food for the hungry. He also founded the Sathya Gnana Sabai to impart the divine secret of Athma Jothi Darshan to the public. This sabai features Sir Saba, Por Saba, and seven veils. The Sir Saba and Por Saba represent our eyes (Thiruvadi), while the seven colored veils symbolize karma, maya, and ego. To attain the divine bliss of Athma Jothi Darshan, one must receive initiation from a guru. When all seven veils are opened within, one experiences the realization of the divine Jothi Darshan.
Mettukuppam, specifically Sithivalagam, is the place where Vallalar transformed his physical body into a luminous form. This room is opened during the Thai Poosam festival in Vadalur. Vallalar's primary teaching emphasizes enjoying divine bliss without delay, embodying true Jeeva Karunya (compassion for all living beings). It aims to liberate the soul from the suffering of the birth and death cycle.
At the age of 51, on Thai Poosam in 1874 AD, Vallalar transfigured his physical body into a luminous body and merged with God. The path of Sanmarga is guided by Vallalar. He stressed the importance of a pure vegetarian diet, abstaining from smoking and alcohol, and prohibited the killing of animals in the name of God. He advocated for feeding the hungry.
Gnana Sarguru SivaSelvaraj
Gnana Sarguru Siva Selvaraj Ayya, having received the divine grace of Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar, openly disseminated the secrets of Thiruvadi to humanity.
Ayya authored 35 books in Tamil. 'Kanmani Maalai' was his first publication, in which he explained profound spiritual truths in a manner accessible to the general public. He also provided elucidations for Thirvasagam, Thiru Mandiram, and the 4000 Divya Prabandham. Several of his works have been translated into English by his disciples. Ayya led a simple life with his wife, Thangam Amma, and his son, Suyam Jothi. He dedicated his life to propagating the knowledge of Thiruvadi, initiating over 3000 spiritual seekers.
Through the grace of enlightened Siddhas, Gnanis, and Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar, Ayya bestowed the Guru Peeta upon nine of his disciples before attaining Maha Samadhi. By the grace of Vallalar and Ayya, the Thiruvadi initiation is now conducted by these nine Gurus. Ayya emphasized the importance of 'Gnana Dhanam,' encouraging disciples to share the knowledge of Thiruvadi with other seekers. He stressed that discipline is the foundation of the spiritual path. He taught that all women should be regarded as 'Vaalai,' the divine mother of all souls, as a means to overcome Maya. He advocated a vegetarian diet and abstention from smoking and alcohol. The 'Aanmeega Semmal' award was conferred upon Ayya by the Nagercoil Senthamil Arulneri Peravai in recognition of his selfless service.

THIRUVADI - LOTUS FEET OF GOD
Continuous remembrance of Lotus Feet of Guru is the way to deathless life - Vallalar
Thiruvadi is Lotus feet of God. The location in the body where divine light directly expressed from Athma.
This is called origin of mind. This is the location where all saint/siddhaa meditated to attain mukthi or merge with God.
Our two pupil eyes is where divine light of God(athma) is expressed. No where else in the body we have this. Its only place to surrender to God, its place to destroy form of Mind. The divine light in pupil of eyes is called as medicine for deathless life. With current state we will not be able access the divine light. It needs guru upadesam and deekshai.
When disciples meet a gnana guru, Guru explains about God, Self, Karma, Thiruvadi, and obstacles to realizing the self. gives clarity to the path of gnana. Explains about summa iru(do nothing)
Giving divine sensation in thiruvadi(eyes) is deeksha. Guru with his divine light ignites the asthma jothi of the seeker. This is done with the grace of vallalar.
This process helps to give rebirth to athma. Duvijas. Taking rebirth in sukshama dega. Only after Deeksha seeker can focus mind on the Lotus feet of God to destroy form of mind karma maya ego.
Once Guru gives initiation or Deeksha, the seeker can do penance on the Thiruvadi. It’s not controlling the mind, keeping the mind to its origin.
In this process seeker started realizing that karma-maya-ego started relieving him with the grace of Guru. This is done with eyes open. Can be done while sitting in a place, standing, and lying bed. Only This davam helps to separate the physical body and sukshama body.
Divine light of Athma multiplies and divine/pure heat is generated to destroy karma.
Vallalar aka vallal perumaan’s wish is, whole world should walk in the path of gnana. So teaching this path to seekers of God is called Gnana dhana. Only by teaching this knowledge of thiruvadi to others the path divine or thiruvadi becomes close in our realization.
Being in the companion of the seekers doing thiruvadi davam and doing a group meditation.
It helps to clarify doubts about the path of thiruvadi.
