Thirukkural  (Hardcover)

INTRODUCTION
Thirukkural as a book that deals with the art of living is gaining increasing acceptance. It transcends national boundaries, historical, social limitations and language barriers. It makes great sense and relevance even today and for all times. Among the ethical works in Indian languages, Thirukkural stands supreme.
Thirukkural was written 2000 years ago. It was more truly presented in a language that was in vogue at that time. Thiruvalluvar, who brought out 'Thirukkural', the book for all ages, was an eminent and exceptional scholar endowed with divine quality.
He was not only a sage with a humane heart but also a psychologist with a deep insight into the complexities of human nature and a philosopher with an urge to reform. As Subramania Bharathi, the Indian national poet, has rightly observed, "Tamil Nadu gave unto the world Valluvar and thereby won great renown." Shri Sane Guruji goes on to say, "Great thinkers belong to the world. More truly, Thiruvalluvar belongs not only to Tamil Nadu but also to the whole world." Thiruvalluvar has been compared with Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Rousseau and the like.
