Chennai: Neither DMK nor Dravidian model of government is against spiritualism, said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday. 

While addressing at Mupperum Vizha of Vallalar at Kapaleeswarar temple in Chennai, Stalin said, the only problem with spirituality is those (the people) who are trying to make a living out of the religious beliefs for political gains.

People brand DMK as anti-spiritual party and as a party against the faith of the people. However, it is those people who critique Dravidian model and make money with it. 

Stalin said, even though a section of social media can edit this video and create an image that he spoke against spiritualism. He said, DMK is not against spiritualism.

கண்மூடி வழக்கமெலாம் மண்மூடிப் போக என்ற வழியே திராவிட இயக்கத்துக்கு மிக நெருக்கமானவர் வள்ளலார்!

வள்ளலார் பிறந்தநாள் தனிப்பெரும் கருணை நாள்,
ஓராண்டு தொடர்கொண்டாட்டமாக வள்ளலார் முப்பெரும் விழா, வடலூரில் ரூ.100 கோடியில் வள்ளலார் சர்வதேச மையம் என அவர் புகழ் பாடி மகிழ்கிறது கழக அரசு! pic.twitter.com/dzKt5Ph9AC

He also highlighted about starting an international center in Vadalur. He also informed me that they have formed a committee to draft a Rs 100 crore project for the centre.

In October last month, Tamil Nadu CM announced the birth anniversary of Vallalar as the Day of Thaniperungarunai (boundless benevolence) every year. He also spoke about the way the kitchen in Sathya Gnana Sabhai functions continuously without a break in Vadalur.

The event was organised by Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department.

Vallalar was born on October 5, 1821 in Cuddalore district. His works include Manumurai kanda thiruvasagam and Jeeva karunya ozhukkam. He has also wrote Thiruvarutpa which is divided into six parts.
