One day eleven of his followers who were inmates of Dharma shala at Vadalur laid down with fever (possibly due to influenza) in the summer month of Citrai. Out of compassion for them, Vallalar asked each of them in an endearing tone and language Father (an endearing term of address in Tamil, signifying O soul of the Divine Father used irrespective of age and relationship) will you give your fever to me? Then he remained in a room when his body became quite hot like fire and after five minutes he came out quite in a normal condition. The fever of all the patients was gone.

Note: Vallalar should have absorbed the disease and fever of his followers into his body freed them from the disease and finally thrown the disease and its symptoms from out of his own body. However the incident is interesting because of its collective treatment.

One day when Vallalar was going to Cidambaram to attent Tiruvadirai dharshan at the temple, a man affected with dyspepsiaprayed him on the way to be relieved of the disease. Vallalar gave him tulsi leaf ( a leaf symbolizing devotion for the Divine) and water as treatment. The man was cured.

A man of Sevalai village suffered for 12 years from dyspepsia. He prayed to
Vallalar for relieving him from the disease. Vallalar asked him to pray god. The man replied firmly that Vallalar that Vallalar himself was god for him. Then Vallalar gave him sacred ash (vibhuti) with blessings. The man took it reverentially and applied it on his forehead and put a little of it in his mouth. He got cured.
