There lived a wise man named Thiruvalluvar. We do not know the exact date and life period of this man for sure. Some say he is a Buddhist monk. Some call him a Hindu teacher, some label him a Christian preacher.
Unlike most people in history, it is not the greatness of the man himself that had made every sect of people claim him as their own, But it is the beauty of his work called ‘ThiruKural’ which made them think in such a way that, such greatness and wiseness from a text could have only been possible if the text itself is their own.
In a fight to establish the ownership for the text, evangelists failed to admire the paradox that, if the fight is for the same text then the content of the text is agreed upon by all the sects who are involved in the fight. This text has its own uniqueness as the wisdom and witness of this text are not the truth of one sect of people, but the truth of entire humankind
Through this series of ‘Thirukural’. I try to bring about this universal truth to public eyes and pave way for the ideal way of life filled with Virtue.
