Mahatma Ramalingam and his revelationsRamalingam, called also Ramalinga or Vallalar, was born in Marudur (next to Chidambaram, in South India), on Sunday, October 5, 1823. At the age of only five months, his parents carried him in pilgrimage to the temple of Nataraja in Chidambaram. His father died a month later. Moving their residence to Madras, the older brother, Sabapathi assumed the responsibilities of family head. When Ramalinga was five years old, with a prodigious facility he learned to read under the supervision of Sabapathi's teacher. Instead of attending school, he passed the time reciting in ecstasy poems written by himself in the temple of Kanthakottam (Madras). Sabapathi reproached him for this attitude, but seeing that it didn't give any result, he ordered his wife Pappammal never more to admit him in their house to feed. Breaking this order, she fed Ramalinga secretly when he was hungry because she considered him as if he was her own brother.Ramalinga was a model of uprightness and moderation. Physically, he had a sharp nose and large, serene eyes whose look emitted divine brilliancy. He undertook long fasts, eating frugally once every two or three days. He had extraordinary capacities and was accustomed to disappear for some days and nobody was able to discover his whereabouts. He was kind, simple and sincere. He died on January 30th, 1874.It is a real pleasure for me to present this treatise on Mahatma Ramalingam and his revelations to you. Thank you, Dr.Shuddhananda Bharati for having transmitted Mahatma Ramalingam and his revelations to us. The first edition of this book is dated 1936.Editions ASSA, Christian Piaget
