Step-by-step explanation:
Ramalinga Swamigal
Popularly known as Vallalar, Ramalinga
Swamigal or Ramalinga Adigal (1823–1874), was born in Marudhur, a
village near Chidambaram.
After his father’s death, his
family moved to his brother’s
house at Chennai. Despite
having no formal education
he gained immense
scholarship. Ramalinga emphasised the bonds
of responsibility and compassion between living
beings. He expressed the view that ‘those who
lack compassion for suffering beings are hardhearted, their wisdom clouded’. He showed
his compassion and mercy on all living beings
including plants. This he called jeevakarunya.
He established the Samarasa Vedha Sanmarga
Sangam in 1865 and it was renamed “Samarasa
Suddha Sanmarga Satya Sanga” which means
“Society for Pure Truth in Universal self-hood”.
Ramalinga also established a free feeding house
for everyone irrespective of caste at Vadalur
(1867), in the wake of a terrible famine in
south India in 1866. His voluminous songs
were compiled and published under the title
Thiruvarutpa (Songs of Grace).
