Subject: நாளும் ஒரு திருக்குறள் -
(Note: This mail is re-sent replacing the earlier one, with thamizh font attachment and correction of fonts in, in-line text)

அன்புடைய நண்பர்களுக்கும் இணையதள திருக்குறள் ஆர்வலர்களுக்கும். வணக்கம். மனம் கனிந்த வாழ்த்துகள்.
 
இன்று தொடங்கி எமது கருத்தாய்வு தளத்தில் 'நாளும் ஒரு
திருக்குறள்' என்ற தலைப்பில், குறட் பாக்களையும் விளக்கக் குறிப்புகளையும் தமிழிலும், ஆங்கிலத்திலும்  வெளியிட எண்ணியுள்ளேன்.
 
இன்றைய தொடக்கப் பகுதி முன்னுரையுடன் இம்மின்னஞ்சலின் இணைப்பாகவும், அடிப்பகுதியாகவும் சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. அடுத்து வரும் பகுதிகளை, கருத்தாய்வு தளத்திலேயே பதிக்க எண்ணியுளேன்.
 
இவற்றைப் பற்றிய தங்கள் கருத்துகளையும், வினாக்களையும்
எனக்கு நீங்கள் மின்னஞ்சல் மூலம் தெரிவிக்கலாம்.
 
உங்கள் மேலான ஈடுபாட்டிற்கு அன்புடன் விழையும் நண்பன்
செ. நாராயணசாமி
 
Dear Friends and Patrons of ThirukkuRaL Ideals
 
My greetings and best wishes to you all. I have planned to begin a program on my blog: wwwjanakumnet.blogspot.com, a presentation 'ThirukkuRaL - a sonnet a day'. The first issue appears to-day as an attachment to this email, both in MS Word text and deskPDF formats. The text also appears in full herein below. I am selectivey choosing some vital verses from ThirukkuRaL, adding fesh thoughs and ideas in elaboration of what I had published earlier in book forms in Thamizh and English starting from 1998, in the light of experience and knowledge gained in the past years.
 
I would invite your kind participation in the form of opinions, comments, criticism and questions for clarifications and sharing of  thoughts.
 
I look forward to your kind participation and encouragement on this front.
 
Thanking you and with all good wishes  Yours affably   J.Narayanasamy

Thirukkuralh is a 2000 years old classic. It has universal appeal to all humanity and is common

to all religions. It manifests ancient innate wisdom on human values and social life. It is a perennial

source of knowledge based on rational ethics and scientific outlook.

It is a synopsis of earlier civilizations and also contains valuable guidance to modern

management practices, human relations and communication skills. It is a book of crisp couplets on

subtler values, so full of life and meaning in codes and norms which can be adopted day to day to

enrich our lives.

.A is the first letter of languages; the

Sun is the origin of planet Earth. KuRaL 1

Like a mirror reflecting the light of images, knowledge of the mind and inner wisdom of the soul are

reflected in our deeds and expressions. Seers and seniors of sublime qualities and grace bestow

traditional benediction on the worthy. The magnificence of Primordial Matter (the concept of Almighty)

transcends our vision and is beyond praise. No tradition is known in Thamizh of the ordinary blessing

the high and mighty. The vocabulary adopted in KuRaL, like reverence (vaNakkam), adherence

(vazipAdu), glorifying (poutRal ), worship (thozhukai) appear more apt in the fitness of things to adore

the virtuous, the peerless savants and pure benefactors.

According to Thamizh tradition, the Sun (pakalavan) has been the known source of light and all

energy sustaining life (gnAyiRu), and the first among the solar system (Aathavan). The words Pakavan

and Aathi muthalvan denote the core atom of matter that constituted the Universe (Andam)

It is noteworthy, Saint ILangkovadikaL, commenced the preface of epic Silappathikaaram in praise

of the Sun, the Moon and Rain.

Classification of primordial matter as Space (idam, veLi ), Universe (vuuzhi, aNdam,) the

suspended stellar and solar systems (gnAlangkaL), the sky (viN, visumbu, vAnam), the moving planets

(kouLkaL), the revolving & rotating earth (ulaku, vaiYam), and the elements (buuthangkaL) contained in

space viz: air (vaLi, kaatRu), fire (thee), water (neer) and land (nilam, maN); their qualities,

configurations, movements and consequential effects were known in depth to the bare eyed scientists of

ancient Thamiz Naadu in the centuries well before Christ.

Their civilization was well matured and cultured in identifying the world of lands and seas

as continents, nations, cities, and the country side as habitats (vuur ), colonies (kompai) and hamlets

(saeri ); and a finer distinction between house (manai) and home (veedu, illam ). Societies comprised of

kith and kin, clan and professional castes, friends and comrades.

The dream of splitting the atom was ingrained in their imagination, to encompass seven

seas within the core of atom (ThiruvaLLuva maalai) ; the idea to split the core of the atom into

thousandths (Thirumanthiram) portrays the beauty and sophistication of a sharp intellect. That civilization

had setbacks due to natural disasters and historical reasons of occupation and forced interaction of

alien concepts based on religious thoughts, which shattered the coherence, realism and confidence of

the people by the burden of ideas on instability. But its innate culture has survived from total

obliteration (as had happened to ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian civilizations) thanks to the

sustaining influence of its rich language and literature, a mainstay of its past traditions.

Movements for renaissance and rationalistic thoughts have started to grow in the 20th

century, to revive and refurbish ancient values as guides for the future, in tune with modern scientific

trends.

In the words of Saint Vedhadri, for those who have matured thinking, the path of

enlightened wisdom is the best; for others true religion should be a guide to disciplined life.

Dr.S.Radhakrishnan has stated that simple humanism free from blind dogmas and stale customs, is

pure religion. There is no religion above compassion truth.
