Source: Wisdom Library: Teachers, Saints and SagesVaḷḷuvar (வள்ளுவர்) or վܱḷḷܱ refers to one of the Siddhars (Siddhas) and Rishis mentioned by Rangarasa Desiga Swamigal in his Siddhargal Potri Thoguppu. Each name in the list starts with prefix �Om� followed by the Siddhar’s names and ends with refrain �Thiruvadigal Potri�. For example for Tiru-vaḷḷuvar: ஓம� திருவள்ளுவர் திருவடிகள் போற்றி [ōm tiruvaḷḷuvar tiruvaṭika� pōṟṟi].—These Siddhas experienced union with the ultimate reality and witnessed a spiritual transformation of their intellectual, mental, vital and ultimately, physical bodies.
: Wikipedia: India HistoryValluvar (or Thiruvalluvar) was an Indian poet and philosopher. He is best known as the author of the Tirukkuṟa�, a collection of couplets on ethics, political and economic matters, and love. The text is considered an exceptional and widely cherished work of Tamil literature. Thiru-Valluvar is believed to have lived at least in the town of Mylapore (a neighbourhood of the present-day Chennai), and his floruit is dated variously from fourth century BCE to early fifth century CE, based on the traditional accounts and the linguistic analyses of his writings.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
