True scientist name: Ramalingam The name by which loved ones call him: Vallalar. Year of birth: 1823 Year of transformation of the body into a body of light: 1874 Place of birth: India, Chidambaram, Marudur. Achievement: The one who discovered that man can also attain the state of God and not die, and attained that state. In India, in Tamil Nadu, in a town called Marudhur, located twenty kilometers north of the city of Chidambaram, Ramalingam alias Vallalar was born on Sunday, October 5, 1823, at 5:54 pm.
Vallalar's father's name was Ramaiah, and his mother's name was Chinnammai. Father Ramaiah was the accountant of Marudhur and a teacher who taught children. Mother Chinnammai took care of the house and raised her children. Vallalar's father Ramaiah passed away in the sixth month after his birth. Mother Chinnammai, considering the education and future of her children, went to Chennai, India. Vallalar's elder brother Sabapathy studied under Professor Sabapathy of Kanchipuram. He became a master in epic discourse. He used the money he earned from going to discourses to support his family. Sabapathi himself educated his younger brother Ramalingam. Later, he sent him to study under the teacher he had studied with, Kanchipuram Professor Sabapathi.
Ramalingam, who returned to Chennai, often visited the Kandasamy temple. He was happy to worship Lord Murugan at Kandakottam. He composed and sang songs about the Lord at a young age. Ramalingam, who did not go to school or stay at home, was reprimanded by his elder brother Sabapathi. But Ramalingam did not listen to his elder brother. Therefore, Sabapathi sternly ordered his wife Papathi Ammal to stop serving food to Ramalingam. Ramalingam, agreeing to his dear elder brother's request, promised to stay at home and study. Ramalingam stayed in the upper room of the house. Except for meal times, he stayed in the room at other times and was actively engaged in worshipping God. One day, in the mirror on the wall, he was ecstatic and sang songs, believing that God had appeared to him.
His elder brother, Sabapathi, who used to give lectures on mythology, was unable to attend the lecture he had agreed to due to ill health. So he asked his younger brother Ramalingam to go to the place where the lecture was to be held and sing some songs to make up for his inability to come. Accordingly, Ramalingam went there. That day, a large number of people had gathered to listen to Sabapathi's lecture. Ramalingam sang some songs as his elder brother had told him. After this, the people gathered there insisted for a long time that he should deliver a spiritual lecture. So Ramalingam also agreed. The lecture took place late at night. Everyone was amazed and admiring. This was his first lecture. He was nine years old at that time.
Ramalingam started worshipping at the age of twelve in Thiruvottriyur. He used to walk to Thiruvottriyur every day from the seven-well area where he lived. Following the insistence of many, Ramalingam agreed to marriage at the age of twenty-seven. He married his sister Unnamulai's daughter, Thanakodi. Both husband and wife were not involved in family life and were immersed in the thought of God. With the consent of his wife Thanakodi, the married life is completed in a single day. With the consent of his wife, Vallalar continues his efforts to attain immortality. Ramalingam wanted to know the true God through knowledge. Therefore, in 1858, he left Chennai and visited many temples and reached a city called Chidambaram. Seeing Vallalar in Chidambaram, the administrator of a town called Karunguzhi, named Thiruvengadam, requested him to come and stay in his town and his house. Bound by her love, Vallalar stayed at the Thiruvengadam residence for nine years.
The real God is located in the brain in our head, as a small atom. The light of that God is equal to the brightness of a billion suns. Therefore, in order for the common people to understand the God who is the light within us, Vallalar placed a lamp outside and praised it in the form of light. He started building a temple of light near Sathya Dharmachalai in the year 1871. He named the temple, which was completed in about six months, 'Council of Wisdom'. He built a temple in a town called Vadalur for the God who resides in the form of light as the great knowledge in our brain. The real God is knowledge in our heads, and for those who cannot understand it, he built a temple on earth, lit a lamp in that temple, and told them to think of that lamp as God and worship it. When we concentrate our thoughts in that way, we experience the God who is the knowledge in our heads.
On the 20th of the 10th month of the year 1873, on Tuesday morning at eight o'clock, he hoisted a flag in front of the building called Siddhi Valakam in the town of Mettukuppam and delivered a long sermon to the assembled people. That sermon is called 'enormous teaching'. This sermon guides man to be happy always. It answers many questions that arise in man. The sermon is about breaking our superstitions. He says that the true way is to know and experience the truth of nature as it is. Not only that. Vallalar himself has asked many questions that we have not thought of and answered them. Those questions are as follows:.
What is God? Where is God? Is God one or many? Why should we worship God? What will happen if we do not worship God? Is there such a thing as heaven? How should we worship God? Is God one or many? Does God have hands and feet? Can we do anything for God? What is the easiest way to find God? Where is God in nature? Which form is the immortal form? How do we transform our knowledge into true knowledge? How do we ask questions and get answers to them? What hides the truth from us? Can we get anything from God without working? Is religion useful in knowing the true God?
The next event after hoisting the flag was, in the Tamil month of Karthigai, on the day of the festival celebrating light, he took the deepa lamp that was always burning in his room and placed it in front of the mansion. On the 19th day of the month of Thai in the year 1874, that is, in January, on the day of the Poosam star mentioned in Indian astronomy, Vallalar blessed everyone. Vallalar entered the mansion room at midnight. As per his wish, his important disciples, Kalpattu Aiya and Thozhuvur Velayudham, locked the door of the closed room from the outside.
Since that day, Vallalar has not appeared as a form to our physical eyes, but has been a divine light for the formation of knowledge. Since our physical eyes do not have the power to see the body of knowledge, they cannot see our Lord, who is always and everywhere. Since the body of knowledge is beyond the wavelength of the spectrum visible to human eyes, our eyes cannot see it. Vallalar, as he knew, first transformed his human body into a pure body, then into the body of sound called Om, and then into the body of eternal knowledge, and he is always with us and bestows his grace.
