The Saint-Scientist Vallalar has a precise answer for what you came here for, which is transcending the physical body techniques.
Here, you will discover how Vallalar’s teachings offer more than a fleeting experience of transcendence—it presents a path to permanent physical transformation.
While many traditions offer techniques that fade as quickly as they begin, Vallalar demonstrated a path leading to a fundamentally transformed existence. But before we get into that, it is important to know who Vallalar was and why we should pay attention to what he says about transcending the physical body techniques:
The Life and Teachings of Vallalar
Ramalinga Swamigal, known as Vallalar, was a 19th-century Tamil mystic whose collected writings, the Thiru Arutpa, remain one of the most extraordinary spiritual records ever produced. Vallalar’s teachings focus on compassion, purity, and transformation, sources of profound insights on transcending physical limitations. On January 30, 1874, accounts from those present record that he entered a room in Mettukuppam and was never seen again—his body was never found.
Techniques Leading to Suddha Deham
Through Vallalar’s teachings, transcending the physical body involves three transformative stages, of which the Suddha Deham is the first. This stage describes a body that casts no shadow, produces no sweat, and is immune to disease and aging while still physically present. Unlike temporary transcendental experiences, Vallalar’s transformation principles offer an ongoing change in the body’s constitution.
The second stage in Vallalar’s teachings is the Pranava Deham, where the physical form becomes composed of primordial vibration rather than gross matter and cannot be physically grasped. This stage marks a deeper level of physical transcendence, reflecting a move from solidified to vibrational existence.
Attaining the Gnana Deham
Finally, Vallalar described the stage of Gnana Deham as one of pure consciousness with no physical boundary, untouched by water, fire, or wind. This ultimate stage represents a return to pure consciousness, beyond physical constraint and fully aligned with the divine grace-light.
Daily Practices for Transformation
Vallalar emphasized daily practices to resonate with his transformation teachings. One central practice includes reciting the Mahamantra: “Aruṭ Perum Jōti — Aruṭ Perum Jōti — Taṇi Perum Karuṇai — Aruṭ Perum Jōti,” which translates to ‘The Vast Grace-Light. The Vast Grace-Light. The Incomparable Great Compassion. The Vast Grace-Light.’ This focuses the practitioner’s mind and body towards aligning with divine grace.
One Action You Can Take Today
Replace one animal-based meal today with a plant-based option from Vallalar’s Nithya Karma Vidhi: consider rice, dal (lentils), or stem vegetables such as drumstick (Moringa). This dietary change lightens the body’s density, facilitating transformation.
