Tirukural is a classic Tamil treatise which has been quote by many and translated into many languages. It s rich flavor and beauty has added more pride and glory to Tamil country. Basically it’s a moral philosophy and a treasure house of ethical code for all classes of citizens. The first part is a gate way towards the nuances of marital life and this component also draws a road map towards spirituality.
The second one neatly explains how all the potentials of the mankind- the immense talent, knowledge , and courage of hard working population could be better exploited, for making the country strong and powerful. It proclaims that the essence of life is not merely to accumulate money/ amass wealth but to register one’s own name and fame as the true legacy of his / her existence here.
Those who have mastered this and really adhered to all its stringent conditions would know how to live peacefully and gracefully , hopefully and blissfully to the enrichment of fellow human beings .
The third component is indeed a literary treasure, a treatise on love life. By thumping through those pages, we can turn our life for the better. Dealing with the natural chemistry and physics, evolving between the opposite sexes at at the right ripe young age in the most uninhibited environment of freedom, valluvar documents and neatly depicts all the subtle nicer and richer side of human life – the basic love life .
As it constitutes the foundation of life itself, acting as the primary life force, I felt that periodically I should do some translation from Tamil to English. now, a few samples of Kural dealing with love, those couplets which spin around the eye of the beloved, a real electronic media for the love game which in essence is the basic life game, forgotten for long by mankind, fully seduced by the materialist culture and money making and money making madness, all triggered by the beastly and unruly capitalist civilization.
