Services

  1. Daily Annadhanam
    Sathya DharmaSalai – The house of Charity

The sadhus are the one who have relinquished all their mundane ties. They are in the quest of God realization. They are oblivion to their thirst, hunger and bodily comforts. It is our utmost duty to serve these selfless souls who are the real source of light to mortals wallowing in ignorance. We have taken upon ourselves, as a divine dispensation to provide the basic needs of these soul seekers. Every day hundreds of sadhus are fed besides serving poor and destitute people. Their health is also taken care of by our medical services.

  1. Gosalai

Cows are the foremost of all living beings. Themselves sacred, they are the best of cleansers and sanctifiers. Cows are said to represent the highest energy both in this world and the world that is above. There is nothing that is more sacred or sanctifying than cows. ‘Ahimsa moorthy Mohandas Gandhi once said, ’The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated’.
Abandoned Cows are taken care in our Gosala run by our trust.

  1. Medical camp
    “Thus feeding the hungry, extending mercy to the suffering, prevention of killing i.e. violence, having an attitude of Ahimsa in thought, and deed and above all a compassionate approach to all problems is a must for man to obtain divine bliss’’ – Swami Ramalinga vallalar.
    Our Trust frequently conducts free medical camps in the Villages. Allopathy, Siddha, Ayurvedha, Acupressure, Varma and Traditional medicines are the types of treatments given to the public depends upon their health needs.

4. Vegetarianism

“To kill a being to appease the hunger of another being with meat is not at all following the policy of showing compassion to living beings and it doesn’t have the approval of God and is completely against these; all living beings are part and parcel of the Natural truth and are the place for the manifestation of Grace which is God’s Natural Manifestation; when God’s Natural Manifestation gets veiled, life’s nature will not be there, God’s natural manifestation and life’s natural manifestation are not contrary to each other; God’s natural manifestation and life’s manifestation reveal themselves in each and everybody; therefore, it should be understood that to kill a being to appease the hunger of another being is fully against the policy of showing compassion to all living beings’’ – Swami Ramalinga Vallalar.

5. Meditation programs:

  1. Azhnilai Dhyana Mugaam

Meet Your Transcendental Nature

The ultimate ideal of human existence is enjoying the everlasting bliss of the Supreme Divine by transforming oneself into a body free from disease, aging, decay and death. Profound meditation techniques are taught to transcend mind and to attain self realization and giving a way to God realization.

To unravel the greatest mysteries of our self, one has  to transcend the body, mind and senses. Without breaking the barriers of these, one’s efforts land in futility. In the serene depth of meditation the glorious nature of the resplendent self is revealed. The bewitching senses lure ordinary mortals away from spiritual pursuits. They drag him to abysmal ignorance to give false reality to the earthly pleasures. The mind invariably follows the senses rather than the intuition. If one tastes the bliss of the self, worldly pleasures become insipid. These  three days camps are a great  chance to see the reflection of our own Self. These  days are meant only for introspection and meditation with observing silence which help us to be away from the stress and strain of the mundane life. In the areas saturated with divine exhilaration, sadhaks touch the deepest layer of their Being. Nature is the  voice of the silent God. The tranquil surrounding is the proof of God’s underlying principle that activates the cosmos. In the depth of silence, the  voice of God is heard, through the language of LOVE. Situated amidst nature’s bounty and grandeur our Pollachi ashram helps to explore the majesty of our self. The serenity that is the hallmark of this place helps us to dive deep into the ocean of meditation to get the pearl of His connection. 

This Retreat is an eye opener, allowing us to meet and celebrate everyday life through the eyes of the Enlightened One. Welcome to explore your Transcendental Nature!

  1. Community Living

Community living gives you an advantage to be in the company of a Guru and company with an assembly of persons who listen to, talk about and assimilate the truth. This typically involves listening to or reading scriptures, reflecting on, discussing and assimilating their meaning, meditating on the source of these words, and bringing their meaning into one’s daily life. Community living provides us an opportunity to share our love which is nothing but the reflection of our inner self. In our Abode, people from all walks of lives, irrespective of caste and creed, come together to imbibe spiritual knowledge and God’s love. This inculcates in their mind the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God.

After spending their time with their fellow aspirants devotees go with self confidence to be in the world as true warriors facing the  challenges of life patiently by reposing their faith in God. We welcome sincere aspirants to actively participate in the community, using this possibility as a part of their spiritual journey.

  1. Sanmarga Sangam

Inspired by the universal teachings of Swami Ramalinga, this Sanmarga sangam situated at the foot of the Holy hill Arunachala, reverberates with Divine vibrations. The blessed seekers quench their spiritual thirst on the lap of Divine Mother Nature. The placid atmosphere quells their minds to plunge to have the glimpse of their inner treasure. Many camps are organized here  to help the aspirants to  recharge their body, mind and soul. The Sadhus of the Sangam guide the devotees in the path of Suttha Sanmargam. They are provided with simple satvik food which  nourishes their bodies besides making their mind conducive for meditation.

Children during their short stay learn Thiruarutpa songs,  fear of sin and love for God and the importance of serving their fellow beings. They also learn about  our rich cultural heritage .

Celebrations

  1. Thaipoosam

Thaipoosam celebrations at vadalur , is one of the major activities of our mission. Satyagnana Sabha or the “Temple of Wisdom” is an octagonal structure constructed by the Saint Ramalinga Vallalar in the town of Vadalur in Cuddalore district. The sanctum sanctorum of this temple is concealed from the main hall by seven curtains which are parted fully on Thai Poosam day (On monthly poosam star day only six screens are unveiled for jothi dharshan).  To impress the truth that God helps devotees as a Grace-light, Vallalar created this lotus designed Sabha, lighting the lamp inside the Sabha.

The Arutperunjothi Agaval authored by Swami Vallalar is engraved here. There is a mirror in front of the lamp and curtains of black, blue, green, red, golden and white and multi colors. When the curtains are removed, the jothi could be seen through the mirror. That is to say that man could see the light in him if he removes the seven bad traits in him.

Once in a year on thai poosam day these seven screens are removed and devotees are blessed with Jyothi Dharshan . In the early morning of this auspicious day to the utter amazement of the devotees, the Sun, the Jyothi and the moon are seen in the same line. One could see these three together. Sun represents Ida nadi and the moon pingala nadi. If there is harmonious flow of breath in the nostrils which represents these two nadis the third eye is opened. This is the culmination of all spiritual activities. More than ten lakhs devotees throng to witness this rare phenomenon. From our trust we make staying arrangements, give annandhanam and conduct satsangs for the devotees.

  1. Thiruvarai Dharshan-Holy room Dharshan

On the third day of Thaipoosam festival Thiruvarai – the Holy Room is opened for public dharshan. Thousands of people worship the Holy room to get Swamis benediction. On this occasion our trust arranges to give prasadam free books and annadhanam for the devotees.

Every full moon, tens of thousands of pilgrims circumambulating the Arunachala hill barefoot. The circumambulation covers a distance of 14 kilometres and is referred to as Girivalam.

Offerings are made in a string of tanks, shrines, pillared meditation halls, springs and caves around the hill. The circumambulation continues during the rest of the month. On the day of yearly Chitra Pournami, the full moon of the first month in Tamil calendar, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims come from across the world.
