Vallalar had composed many songs praising lord Muruga,Goddess Vadivudai Amman,Lord Thigaraja,Padambakka nadhar &Aadhipureeswarar(Thiruvortiyur deities).As i have earlier said he has firstly sung Kandha kotta Murugan(garland of gem)&then about Lord Muruga of Tiruttani who appeared before him in a mirror with six heads with twelve hands sitting in a peacock.The description of this particular vision is very moving & one has to read it in original form in Tamil if one wants to get the same feeling as Vallalar.See that he has lost his father soon after his birth.He is brought up by his brother Mr.& Mrs.Sabapathy pillai.He stopped going to school.His brother was expecting him to study well so that he could lead a good life in future.Except his brother's wife no one under stood him.These things did n't stop his faith in God.God never let downs his devotee.He always comes to the rescue of his devotee.Vallalar has been visiting many temples around Chennai city at his period where there were not much transport means like now.At the age of 35,he left for Chidambaram to have darshan of Lord Nataraja as that of his Guru Manicka vasagar from chennai city.After composing Thiruvasagam songs Saint Manickavasagar enters & unites with Lord Nataraja in Divine Light form.On the way to Chidambaram,Vallalar visits many temples & has sung many songs praising Lord.He spoke always truth & followed what he has preached.He openly told the sectrets & philsophy of worshiping different form of Hindu Gods &encouraged people to worship in Divine Light form.In those period(before Independence)discrimination among people as higher & lower societies,different religious faiths &lot of superstitions.He boldly said that all are the creation of same God & all are equal.He wrote how to lead a peaceful life without harming any living being.He very much stressed the culture of vegetarian & not to kill any living beings.He separately designs two styles of living ,one for the married persons & another for renounced people.Every one can not renounce this world & it is also not necessary. He later started a school to teach "THIRUKKURAL"at Vadalur which was written by Sri.Thiruvalluvar before Christian Era.In this Valluvar weighs both married life &renounced one in a same scale.In his book "Jeeva karunya Ozhukkam, he tells how to lead a good life & realize god.This is in a prose form so that all can read it easily.All his works are compiled in a book form namely(THIRUVARUTPA) by his Student Thozhuvur Velayudha Mudhaliar in to six parts.
