Thiruvarutpa - Ainthu ThiruMuraikal - Tamil | Shloka Book
• Thiruvarutpa - Ainthu ThiruMuraikal is a collection of the first five volumes of devotional hymns composed by Vallalar (Ramalinga Adigal), one of Tamil Nadu’s most revered saints and poets.
• These five volumes, known as the Ainthu ThiruMuraikal, form part of the larger body of spiritual literature known as Thiruvarutpa, which means "The Song of Divine Grace." Vallalar's compositions in these volumes express his profound devotion to Arutperunjothi (the Supreme Grace Light) and his commitment to spreading the message of universal love, compassion, and spiritual enlightenment.
• The Ainthu ThiruMuraikal contain thousands of hymns that reflect Vallalar’s deep mystical experiences and his insights into the nature of the Divine.
• They emphasize the importance of cultivating compassion, not just for fellow humans but for all living beings. Vallalar believed that the realization of divine grace was possible through the path of Suddha Sanmargam, which promotes pure, selfless love and service without discrimination based on caste, creed, or religion.
• The hymns in Thiruvarutpa are written in simple yet powerful Tamil, making them accessible to a wide audience. These hymns are sung by devotees to invoke blessings, seek spiritual progress, and deepen their connection with the divine.
• Vallalar’s central theme across the five ThiruMuraikal is the universal presence of God’s grace and the importance of surrendering oneself to the divine light that illuminates all of existence.
