    Thirukkural has three major parts. The first part deals with Aram (Virtue), the moral value of human life. It has 38 chapters. The second part is on Porul (Wealth), the socio economic values of men in a civilized society. It has 70 chapters. The third part is on Kamam or Inbam (Love), the psychological values of life. It has 25 chapters. Thirukkural was written by Thiruvalluvar, who is believed to have born 30 years before Jesus Christ. The Tamil Calendar is dated from that period and referred as Thiruvalluvar Aandu (Year). We find Thiruvalluvar as a moral philosopher, political scientist and master of public administration in the first two parts of Thirukkural. We find him to be a creative artist in the third part, depicting the fascinating aspects of lovers. Thirukkural's immortality and universality are unquestionable. Its ethics and values are applicable to all religions, countries and time. It has been translated in over 60 languages of the world.

    Some of the Golden Quotes of Thiruvalluvar


    1 'A' leads alphabets; the Ancient Lord Leads and lords the entire world By the continuance of rain, the world is preserved in existence; it is therefore worthy to be called ambrosia The great person will do things rare to do; The small cannot do rare things To say unpleasant things, when we have nice ones, is like eating unripe fruit, ignoring sweet ripe fruits A help rendered in hour of need Though small, is greater than the world Since the evil begets evil, Evil is more dreaded than fire Learn thoroughly whatever is to be learnt; Then, let the conduct be worthy of his learning Art of using alphabets and science of using numerals Are the two eyes of living human beings The deeper you dig, greater the spring; The more you learn, greater the knowledge Learning is the true imperishable wealth; Other things are not wealth Listening is the best of all wealths; It is considered to be the foremost.

    The axle of a cart loaded only with light peacock feathers can also break, if it is greatly overloaded There is nothing too difficult to be accomplished When done carefully with unflinching endeavour The lotus flower rises to the level of water Greatness of men rise with mental strength Let the thoughts be always great and progressive. It will not be a loss, even if the success eludes Even if your mother is seen starving Avoid the actions condemned by wise men Avoid an act which you may repent later; If done by mistake, better not to repeat it Whatever is thought to be done will be achieved as planned, if the planners possess firmness in execution Friendship is not just a smile on the face; It is what is felt deep within a smiling heart True friends guard you from evil, make you walk in right path and share your sorrow in difficult times Excessive or deficient food or activity causes Disorders in mobility, breathing and digestion Though the world goes round with many activities, it is dependent on agriculture. Hence, though laborious, farming is the foremost activity
