Agaval Parayanam

Arutperunjothi agaval written by Chidambaram Ramalinga Swamigal also known as Vallalar. He wrote Agaval in one fine day night. It is called ‘Agaval Pa’which is a long poem of 1596 lines. It stress the importance of not harming any other creatures ( ‘Kollamai’ in Tamil). It reveals not only the revolution theory but also explains soul development. According to Vallalar, every one must follow Kollamai and Jeevakarunyam. When an individual acquires these characteristics, the soul could reach one who on earth has lived in the conjudged state, as he should live will be placed among the Gods who dwell in heaven.

He advises human beings to lead a life that spreads love and care for the human race which is the basis for a man to a prosper in life, which when retained in the longer run that could lead a man a towards eternity. We celebrate Thursday as Guruvar Poojai. Devotees used to discuss and recite songs from Vallalar’s Thiruvadi Pugazhchi, Arutperunjothi Agaval, Arutperunjothi Attagam.

Mutrothal involves complete recitation of all of these songs. The event happens from 7 AM till 1:30 PM. We have a holy pot full of water. At the end of each song , the holy pot is worshipped thereby transferring the energy to the holy water. This song itself stimulates the practitioner’s body, mind and soul to achieve one’s goal. The inner awakening could happen to one who recites Thiruvasagam with his inner depth of heart. At the end of the session , the holy water is taken by all the devotees.

Padha Puja

The ultimate state in spiritual journey is the experience of the Almighty within oneself. This is called the experience of Lotus feet( Padha). The very first chapter in Thirukkural contains the reference to HIS lotus feet in 7 out of 10 songs.

Just like a copper conductor conducts electricity, by touching the feet of great saints , we can also get a share the divine lotus experience from them. Based on this belief, there is a custom of performing Puja to the feet. In similar lines, in our group , the Padha puja is celebrated on 1st of May of every year. That day we have a Yagam performed in the early morning for the benefit.
