The World Guru, Thiruvarutprakasa Vallalar Ramalinga Swamigal, incarnated on earth on a Sunday, under the auspicious Chitra star in the Tamil month of Purattasi, during the Subhanu year (October 5, 1823). He came to guide the world onto the right path, to infuse humanity with the Path of Divine Light, and to lead us all to ultimate salvation!
Throughout history, countless sages, saints, mystics (Siddhars), seers (Rishis), yogis, and disciplined ascetics have appeared on this earth to show humanity the path of wisdom. No matter which land they graced, did any of them proclaim anything other than absolute Love as the path for the salvation of humankind?
Our beloved Lord Vallalar is the divine sage who descended in that sacred, unbroken lineage of spiritual masters, flowing like an eternal stream. The unique glory of Vallalar lies in this: the secret spiritual wisdom that was hitherto hidden, veiled in complex metaphors and codes by others, was openly revealed to everyone by Vallalar!
He who called out aloud to the people of this world to attain the Deathless Great Life (Maranavila Peruvazhvu)—He, indeed, is “Vallalar, the World Guru!” Realizing this absolute truth, let us accept Vallalar as our Guru and celebrate his divine incarnation day as Guru Pooja across the entire world!
O souls born of mother and father, revere Vallalar as your ultimate Guru! Perform Guru Pooja! Praise the Guru, and Divine Wisdom shall be attained! Do not forget! The sacred Guru Pooja falls on the day of the Chitra star in the month of Purattasi! It is the Jayanthi (Birth Anniversary) of the World Guru!
