Abstract

The period during which Vallalar lived in Tamil Nadu was a golden age to be inscribed in golden letters in the spiritual books. His samarasa suddha sanmarga is a concept dating back several hundred years and the dharmasalai he founded has been an unquenchable stove in Vadalur. Similarly, in The Punjab, the Golden Temple is remembered as Amritsar (UAsavilayasa). It is a holy place for the Sikhs. The main feature is that the langar on one side and Dharma sala on the other side of the of the road. Worldly life is not hated at the time of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, and the founder of the Jnana Sabha, who lived as people among the people and laid down good ways. Onthe contrary, they have demonstrated that domestic life and spiritual life are one and the same. In this article, I will share the views that I have personally visited with the aim of examining how the “common food system” exists in the two great socially concerned periods
