    The divine poet through his gift of Tirukural gives maxims to

    serve as guidance for all classes, sections, denominations,


    etc., in the world. Tirukural couplets have the added signifi -
    cance of providing invaluable advice for all times, as it takes
    into consideration the wider aspects, with necessary changes,
    of human nature beyond national, religious and linguistic
    boundaries. Tirukural gives added value because the author,
    Tiruvalluvar, had the rare distinction of having lived the
    ideal life as portrayed in his immortal work. Tirukural shows a way of life
    applicable
    to all sections of society, from kings and nobles down to the common
    man. This teaching echoes the sentiments expressed in many other religious
    texts, such as Tirumantiram, Naladiyar, Saiva Tirumuraigal of the Nayanars
    and
    Vaishnava Prapanthams of the Alwars. ¶Good conduct with abiding moral
    values
    and sincere brotherhood are the centerpieces of Tiruvalluvar’s teachings.
    Kindness to fellow human beings, full sense of humanity and human values will
    ensure a better world, according to the tenets of Tirukural. In a world full of
    turmoil,
    the Tirukural stands as a beacon to a peaceful way of life, and this coupled
    with the daily recitation of the Panchakshara Mantra, “Namasivaya,” found at
    the
    heart of the Vedas, will ensure peace and well being.

    KURAL 2
    What has learning profited a man, if it has not led him

    His Splendid Feet dwell enduringly within unearthly realms.
    KURAL 4
    Draw near the Feet of Him who is free of desire
    and aversion, and live forever free of suffering.

    who delight in praising the Immutable, Worshipful One.
    KURAL 6
    A long and joyous life rewards those who remain firmly
    on the faultless path of Him who controls the five senses.

    who take refuge at the Feet of the Incomparable One.
    KURAL 8
    They alone can cross life’s other oceans who take refuge
    at the Feet of the Gracious One, Himself an Ocean of Virtue.
    KURAL 9
    The head which cannot bow before the Feet of the Possessor of
    eight infinite powers is like the senses lacking the power to perceive.
    KURAL 10
    The boundless ocean of births can be crossed, indeed,
    but not without intimate union with Infinity’s Holy Feet.
