  <\/span>     I have always been fascinated by Thirukkural<\/a>for it is sheer breath and depth. Every time you study the couplets you get a new insight into a whole range of subjects and issues. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

       Once, in a casual discussion with some of my North Indian friends I happened to mention the book . The topic of discussion was Indian contribution to Civilization. Just as I was preparing to build a case for arguing that this was the greatest contribution to the world by India, I noticed the blank faces and raised eyebrows all around. I kept going nonchalantly, till a guy blurted out ,\u201c Thirukkural ? What the hell is  it ?\u201d Since then I generally kept my thoughts to myself on this great work, particularly when in the company of friends from north of the Vindhyas. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
       Of late I have noted some quotes and mis-quotes on the social media and for whatever reason people seem to be showing some interest in talking about it , if not studying it or following the teachings. So, I venture to write a brief note on what it is all about. It would be preposterous to say , it is a critique or a review of the work ,may be  just a glimpse of one view of a huge mountain as seen from a particular spot; just a primer for my North Indian friends<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

            Basically, it is composed of couplets like the dohas of Kabir das or Rahim. What is remarkable is that  these verses are so well organized to cover every aspect of human endeavour over centuries. It pans across time and space to continue to be as relevant today in this ‘Whatsapp Age’ as it was 2000 years before in an agrarian society. The book covers Ethics and value system in a society as much as an individual’s quest for fulfilment in terms of peace , prosperity fame and love.  If Valluvar’s advice to a king during war places him at par with SunTzu<\/a> , his verses on ethics and love reminds you of Lao-Tzu<\/b><\/a> and Vatsyayana<\/a>. Unlike Vatsyayana who covers the physical aspects of Love  in detail, Valluvar focuses more on the psychological aspects. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

            Keeping in line with the concept of Dharma (Duty or Righteousness), Artha (Wealth) and kama (Pleasure) , it is broadly divided into ‘arathuppal’, ‘porutpal’ and ‘Kaamathupal’ Then there are chapters under each part and each chapter is divided into sections . Each section has 10 verses . Thus the book of 1330 verses covers 133 sections. The importance  of an aspect to life  may be gauged by the number of verses on a particular aspect. For eg the importance of ‘company one keeps’ can be seen from the 50 verses under various heads viz 79 – 83.   The 133 subjects covered are tabulated below.   (Courtesy : http:\/\/www.gokulnath.com)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      It would neither  be feasible nor desirable to cover the whole book , but I would like to quote a few verses on different subjects, to give an idea of the clear, concise, and precise way the verses are composed, even while retaining the poetic form.I suppose a gentle warning is in order here .”the English translation can never capture the original meaning and form”<\/span><\/span>

<\/b><\/span><\/span>On Education <\/b><\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>Explanation<\/span><\/span>
Learning is the true imperishable riches; all other things are not riches <\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>On Purity of Action <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>Explanation<\/span><\/span>
Though a person may see his mother starve; let him  not act in a way which the wise would treat with contempt.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>On Friendship<\/b><\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span>this kural, defines what a friend means<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>On Children<\/b><\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>On Social Gossip about young lovers (Page 3 ?!)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span>Explanation<\/span><\/span>
This malady (of lust) is manured by the talk of women and watered by the (harsh) words of my mother <\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>What an insight into the effect on young lovers on gossip by the society and admonition by parents. <\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      The reductionists that we are , the first challenge for anyone coming across a book today, is on how to classify it. (A trivia on Shiva Triology<\/a> by Amish Tripati; the publishing was delayed since the the publishers couldn’t agree on whether the book would be classified under non-fiction,  fiction, religion, mythology or anything else.) <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

     Is Thirukkural , a religious book ? Well, many atheists love it. Is it for ‘self Improvement’ ? May be, but there are many verses on ‘vegetarianism’ , ‘non violence’ , ‘refraining from alcohol’ which may not gel with a mind influenced by the western way of thinking. There is advice on virtues,vices, health, wealth , governance , diplomacy and everything under the sun, which cannot be classified  under any school of thinking.  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        One may not agree with every verse nor is there a need to. It has something for everyone. Every individual is inspired by a different verse, at different point of time in his life. There is something in it for every one , any time. Take what appeals to you , leave out what doesn’t , but make sure you revisit  the verses at a later stage in life. Whatever be,  learning and dwelling on just 10 \u2013 20 of your favourite verses from the 1330 verses can definitely enrich one’s life to a great extent.      <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
