“We need more knowledge. With knowledge comes power. There are two ways to acquire knowledge, one is linear; the other is spiritual.

Method One: Manual Intelligence

When I go to the library I select a book and immediately flick to the information that I require.  For example, I have a strong interest in particle learning. To understand this subject I need to learn about the smallest unit found in sound waves, which is Nada. So I scan the book for information on Nada and then put the book back.

Information at My Fingertips

I then pick another book and turn to the chapter called: Permutations and Combinations of Syllables. The author recommends reading this when the mind is calm and able to absorb the content.

The third book I select is all about miracles. I turn to the chapter on sound vibrations and learn how miracles can be performed using certain sounds.

With the above method, I acquire a lot of information in under ten minutes. To read all these books from cover to cover would take a lot of time.

Method Two: Arul Intelligence

Kuriyai Kurathu Kurithariyum Arivai Thanivelai Nigalthalthalume. Sarivatru Ullagodatarai Jindayumattru Arivattru Ariyamayum Attrathuvae

This is Saint Arunagiri talking. He learned a new method of learning from Lord Muruga, the God of Wisdom.

Language without a Symbol

Kuriyai Kurathu Kurithariyum Arivai Thanivelai Nigalthalthalume

He says: “You have to acquire knowledge without a symbol. Symbols are time-bound methods of learning. Language itself is a symbol. You should acquire knowledge through spiritual means and not through academic study”.

ODHAARDHU UNARA OLI ALITHU YENAKE AADHARAM AAGHIYA ARUT PERUM JYOTI

Divine Intelligence

When you allow the great light of Arut Perum Jyoti to flow, you obtain omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. This is the highest level of learning. When you have Arul everything comes to you straight away; you do not have to wait.

ODHAARDHU UNARA OLI ALITHU YENAKE

We have the ability to feel and therefore, know things without conscious reasoning. When we feel we do not need a language.

SERIVATRU ULLAGAVODOTHURAI JINDAYAM VETRU, ARIVETRU ARIYAMALUM METRUADHUVAE.

ARIVETRU ARIYAMALUM METRUADHUVAE

We do not have to remain ignorant. We can acquire spiritual knowledge and enter a domain where we are able to know everything and do everything at the same time. I am here to revive this tradition.

I have created many chants and videos on Lord Muruga. Participate in some of the ritual offerings for him. They are more powerful than any form of intellectual understanding.”
