    Infinite Grace Light Infinite Grace Light

    Supreme Compassion Infinite Grace Light

    Chidambaram Ramalinga Vallalar, also known as Ramalinga Swamigal or Vadalur Vallalar,


    born on October 5, 1823 was a prominent Tamil spiritual scientist, saint, social reformer,
    philosopher and poet who lived during the 19th century. Vallalar's teachings, which form the
    core of the Suddha Sanmarga (Pure way to Truth), emphasises the oneness of all living
    beings, irrespective of their religion, caste, or background. He believed that true spiritual
    realization could be achieved by transcending religious and social barriers and by cultivating
    love and compassion for all sentient beings in the earth.

    In 1872, he built a temple for worshiping the Lord of Light of Infinite compassion at Vadalur
    near Pondicherry in South India. He named it as ‘The Hall of True Wisdom’ [Sathya Gnana
    Saba]. The land, measuring about 106 acres was donated by the people of the village. But
    the enormous sum of about 75,000 INR which is equal to 75 million in today’s value was
    very difficult to procure. Every villager could donate one or two rupees only. Finally, it was
    donated by God, according to the register in which the names of contributors and amounts
    donated by them were recorded.

    Sathya Gnana Sabhai, also known as Sathya Gnana Sabha or Hall of True Wisdom, is a
    significant secular spiritual-scientific institution located in Vadalur, Tamil Nadu, India. It is
    closely associated with the life and teachings of Vallalar, Chidambaram Ramalinga
    Swamigal, or Vadalur Vallalar.

    Vallalar's teachings and his emphasis on love, compassion, the pursuit of divine life in a
    divine body and attaining spiritual knowledge by relieving sufferings of living beings
    continue to inspire millions of people in Tamil Nadu and beyond.

    To felicitate the saint and promote his teachings, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Mr. MK.
    Stalin announced in Oct 2021, on the occasion of the Saint's 200th Birth Anniversary that an
    International Centre for Vallalar would be established at Vadalur at 100 crore INR (approx 14
    million USD) to promote the spiritual scientific teachings of Vallalar. Though this brought
    cheer to the millions of Vallalar's devotees globally, the location of the International centre at
    the existing location (Sathya Gnana Sabhai) at Vadalur is not feasible for the below reasons:

     The Hall of True wisdom located in the grand space (Peruveli) at Vadalur is the main
    premise where approx 15 hundred thousand devotees gather for the annual auspicious
    Thaipoosam festival, during which Vallalar merged with the divine grace light (Lord
    Arutperumjothi)
     The grand space (Peruveli) in which the hall is located has high spiritual significance
    and meaning attached to it and having another centre in the same location will impact
    the same.
     Building the Vallalar Internation Centre outside India will help promote Vallalar's
    teachings globally and the significant contribution of the Tamils in tackling some of
    the most pressing problems of the contemporary society especially in the wake of the
    global pandemic crises

    Constructing new structures in spiritually significant place like Vadalur should be approached
    with great care and consideration. It should be done in a way that preserves the profound
    wisdom embedded in the structural design by the Saint. Considering all these factors, we
    strongly recommend the Tamil Nadu government to consult with all the worldwide Vallalar
    Sanmarga Associations to ensure that the proposed International centre do not compromise
    the spiritual significance of the Hall of True Wisdom.

    May all living beings live blissfully forever!

    May the Divine feet of Saint Ramalinga Vallalar be praised!
