The birth story
As with the birth of other divine incarnations like Bhagavan Sri Krishna, Lord Jesus or Sri Buddha, Guru Adigalar's birth was also unique and remarkable indicating early signs of his divine nature. The baby was saved in time from falling on his head by a female relative in Melmaruvathur
Several other incidents and divine revelations convinced his parents that their child was chosen by Mother Adhiparasakthi to be her incarnation to teach universal truths to the world.
Adhiparasakthi is a combination of three words, Adhi, Para and Sakthi. Adhi and Para mean first and original and Sakthi is energy. Together the word conveys a primordial source of everything that is in the universe and is identified as the Universal Mother.
Adhiparasakthi speaks through Adigalar in Arulvaaku, Oracles and devotees do not distinguish between the two of them. That explains why Guru Adigalar, although a male human, is affectionately called as “Amma”, Mother, by his devotees. Widely called as Guru amma from Melmaruvathur.

Guru Adigalar has devoted his entire life since his youth to promote spirituality to all, regardless of religion, gender, caste, race or nationality, as guided by Adhiparasakthi. He is joined in this work by his wife and four children and their families. He was recently honoured by the Government of India with the prestigious Padma Sri award for his social service work through spirituality.
From the humble village origins with a handful of devotees, the temple has now grown to attract hundreds of thousands of devotees in India and around the world. Adigalar teaches that all humans have one Universal Mother and belong to one extended family. Devotees wear red to denote this. The four-pillars of spirituality that Guru Adigalar teaches are Bhakthi (devotion), Dhyanam (meditation) Thondu (service) and Dharmam (charity).
