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 143:
பிறிவேது இனி உனைப் பிடித்தனம் உனக்கு நம்
அறிவே வடிவெனும் அருட்பெருஞ் ஜோதி!
Commentary: This couplet conveys the OmniLight’s benediction on Ramalingam: “There will be no separation from me. In this union, my intelligence is the very form of your being.”
