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.
