“Sollara, Summa Iru” is a timeless message bestowed by Lord Muruga upon Saint Arunagirinathar—a profound teaching that continues to inspire peace, healing, and inner transformation even in today’s fast-paced world.

This documentary traces the extraordinary life of Arunagirinathar, who was born in 14th-century Thiruvannamalai. Gifted with remarkable talent, his early life was marked by personal struggles and emotional turmoil. Standing at the edge of despair atop the majestic Thiruvannamalai Temple gopuram, he was saved by the divine grace of Lord Muruga, who gave him a new purpose and a path toward spiritual awakening.

Transformed by this divine experience, Arunagirinathar devoted his life to composing the sacred hymns of Thiruppugazh, spreading devotion, wisdom, and the glory of Lord Muruga across South India. Although many of his original 16,000 hymns have been lost over time, the surviving verses remain one of the greatest treasures of Tamil spiritual literature.

The documentary also explores the remarkable revival of Thiruppugazh during the late 19th century. Through the dedicated efforts of V.T. Subramania Pillai and his son Chengalvaraya Pillai, the scattered manuscripts were carefully collected, compiled, and published, ensuring that Arunagirinathar’s divine compositions would continue to inspire generations to come.

Through compelling storytelling, breathtaking visuals, devotional music, and historical insights, “Sollara, Summa Iru” invites audiences to rediscover Arunagirinathar’s inspiring journey of faith, transformation, and self-realization. Above all, it reflects the eternal message of Lord Muruga:

“Seek within yourself. Be still. Meditate.”
