சத்திய ஞான சபை (Sathiya Gnana Sabhai) or The Great Hall of Truth-Knowledge, and place of special manifestation of OmniLight, designed by Ramalingam without any formal training in architecture. It was constructed in 1871 and opened to the public in January 1872. It has no anthropomorphic idols or images.

Notes:

The Tamil word “விந்து” (Vindu – Sanskrit: बिंदु or Bindu) , in the context of this couplet, refers to the luminous, primordial, creative, Divine Energy of Omnilight. It is essentially Divine Energy in the form of Pure Light. It is productive of wisdom and bliss.

Vindu is usually represented as a point of white light.

The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of spiritual enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872. In later posts, I will offer commentaries on these couplets.
