Q

What is Olineri?

A

Olineri means the "Path of Light." It is a way of life that prompts an individual to investigate the root cause of existence within themselves, transforming a human into a great being and turning them into a divine field where the Almighty manifests.

It is not a religion or a sect. It is the universal path of inner realisation that was followed by our ancestors and revealed through the ancient Gurukula tradition.

Q

What are the three bodies present in a human being?

A

A human being has three bodies:

1. The Gross Body (Paru Udal) — the physical body

2. The Subtle Body (Nun Udal) — the mental and vital body

3. The Soul Body (Moola Udal) — the seed body, the deepest layer of being

Q

What is the Gross body (Paru Udal) of a human being?

A

The gross body is the field through which the five longings (impurities) — seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching — are expressed and resolved through the instruments of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin, by engaging with the world through relationships with living beings and with material possessions.

Q
