    ThiruArutpa

:-   Vallalar’s “ThiruArutpa” is a composition of thousands of poems, a small number in the prose form, and the letters written by Adigalar to his disciples as a reply to their letters and prayers made before the Almighty in Prose form which are available printed in two volumes. Vallalar performed lot of miracles for the benefits of the people. Vallalar had taken the Divine Mandra,

     Arutperunjothi

     Arutperunjothi ThaniPerunKarunai

     Arutperunjothi

     Where the First one is the invisible stage of Supreme Grace Light, has its existence but could not be perceived by anybody (Aruvam).

     Second one which is Supreme Effulgence with all his benevolence, is now acting in the universe both with his inner and outer forms to uplift one and all and thereby make them live a blessed life forever. This represents Aruvuruvam.

     Third Arutperumjothi denotes the fact that the effulgence will remain with the body forever even after the destruction of this universe (Uruvam).

    DAEIOU (pronounced as DA-YA-VU)

:-   During the month of October 1873, vallalar gave a long sermon after hoisting “Sanmarga Flag” infront of Siddhivalagam. He said, “The God has elevated me to the highest plane now, which is the merciful deed of Grace DAEIOU alone, has installed me in the super plane”.

     The word “DAEIOU” (pronounced as DA-YA-VU) and in Tamil “தயவு” gives us a wonderful spiritual meaning as follows:

     Letter DA, “த” in Tamil is the 7th consonant and is considered to be the abode of the Lord in the seventh stage of the human body from where one has to realize his existence and abide with God and everlasting happiness.

     Ya - “ய” signifies the existence of the God in the soul form of human body expressing the soul and sense knowledge. Thus, the combination of these two letters “ய”, represents the God in the human form to lead a divine life in this world.

     As regards the letter Vu - வு, it represents the world with all its animate and inanimate objects which have been created for the sole purpose of gaining experience and in the long run to achieve the goal of Immortality.

     Further, the letter Vu “வு” is placed as the fifth vowel in Tamil, depicting the Penta powers of the God. As a significance of this, the human being has got five fingers in each of his hands and legs.

     From the above, it can well be informed that DAEIOU (DAYAVU) is the real form of God and its experience will make one to live with Godhead.
