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: 558
துன்பெலாந் தவிர்த்துளே யன்பெலாம் நிரம்ப
இன்பெலா மளித்த வென்றனித் தந்தையே!
Emptied
Of
Suffering,
Overflowing
With
Love,
My
Inner
Being
Basks
In
Boundless
Bliss,
By The Supreme Compassion of OmniLight Father!
Note: The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872. In later posts, I will offer commentaries on these verses.
