Thiruvarutpa - Aaravathu Thirumurai - Tamil | Shloka Book

• Thiruvarutpa - Aaravathu Thirumurai is a sacred Tamil text composed by the esteemed saint and poet Vallalar (Ramalinga Adigal), one of the most celebrated saints in Tamil spiritual tradition.
• The title "Thiruvarutpa" translates to "The Song of Divine Grace," and it is a collection of profound devotional hymns expressing Vallalar’s deep devotion to the divine, compassion for all living beings, and his spiritual teachings on universal love and divine grace.
• The Aaravathu Thirumurai (Sixth Book) is a part of the larger body of work,
• Thiruvarutpa, which spans multiple volumes. In this specific Thirumurai, Vallalar’s hymns delve deeper into the mysteries of divine grace, the soul’s journey toward enlightenment, and the transcendence of material attachments.
• His poetry beautifully articulates the principles of Suddha Sanmargam, or the path of pure and universal love, which Vallalar advocated as the ultimate means to attain liberation (Moksha).
• Vallalar’s teachings, as encapsulated in the Thiruvarutpa, transcend traditional religious boundaries and emphasize the importance of compassion, vegetarianism, and selfless service to humanity.
• The hymns in Aaravathu Thirumurai are imbued with a sense of unity with the Divine and call for the realization of the soul’s eternal connection with God, whom Vallalar referred to as Arutperunjothi (the vast and infinite light of grace).
