This blog is devoted to the exposition and analysis of the post-religious and pure theistic path of wisdom and harmony (சமரச சுத்த சன்மார்க்கம்) envisioned by the Indian-Tamilian mystic, poet, and philosopher Chidambaram Ramalingam (1823 – 1874). Note: Jivakarunya Ozhukkam or "The Ethic Of Compassion For Sentient Beings", Arutperunjothi Agaval or "OmniLight Invocations", and the tetralogy of "Suddha Sanmarga Vinappams" or "The Petitions Of Suddha Sanmargam", constitute the authentic central writings of the later Ramalingam. In this blog, I will adhere to the principle that only the views expressed in these writings are representative of Ramalingam's Samarasa Suddha Sanmargam teachings.

Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet 364:
நிலம்பெறு முயிர்வகை நீள்குழு வனைத்தும்
அலம்பெறக் காத்தரு ளருட்பெருஞ் ஜோதி
Land-borne life-forms,
Living beings which are elongated,
Generated in the earth,
Sustained in its soil,
Nourished by water,
May they receive all that they need by the Supreme Compassion of the OmniLight!
Note: The meditative recitation of these prayers helps to develop compassion for living beings.
