About Vallalar
Arutperunjothi Ramalinga Swamigal, widely known as Vallalar, was a nineteenth century humanitarian thinker, poet, and social reformer from South India.
At a time when inequality and hunger were widespread, Vallalar spoke openly about compassion, non violence, and the responsibility to care for all living beings. His ideas challenged social divisions and emphasized equality beyond caste, creed, or background.
Vallalar believed that true spiritual life is reflected not in belief, but in action. Feeding the hungry, reducing suffering, and treating every life with dignity were central to his philosophy.
Today, his ideas continue to inspire movements focused on ethical living, social responsibility, and service rooted in compassion.
