திருக்குறள் பற்றி..

திருக்குறள் (Thirukural) உலகப்புகழ் பெற்ற தமிழ் இலக்கியமாகும். இதனை இயற்றியவர் திருவள்ளுவர் என்று அறியப்படுபவர். இதில் 1330 குறள்கள் பத்து பத்தாக 133 அதிகாரங்களின் கீழ் தொகுக்கப் பெற்றுள்ளன. திருக்குறள் சங்க இலக்கிய வகைப்பாட்டில் பதினெண்கீழ்க்கணக்கு எனப்படும் பதினெட்டு நூல்களின் திரட்டில் இருக்கிறது. இது அடிப்படையில் ஒரு வாழ்வியல் நூல். மாந்தர்கள் தம் அகவாழ்விலும் சுமுகமாக கூடி வாழவும், புற வாழ்விலும் இன்பமுடனும் இசைவுடனும் நலமுடனும் வாழவும் தேவையான அடிப்படைப் பண்புகளை விளக்குகிறது. இந்நூல் அறம், பொருள், இன்பம் அல்லது காமம் என்னும் முப்பெரும் பிரிவுகளாய் (முப்பால்) பிரித்தும் அழகுடன் இணைத்தும் கோர்த்தும் விளக்குகிறது.

வாழ்வியலின் எல்லா அங்கங்களையும் திருக்குறள் கூறுவதால், அதைச் சிறப்பித்துப் பல பெயர்களால் அழைப்பர்: திருக்குறள், முப்பால், உத்தரவேதம், தெய்வநூல், பொதுமறை, பொய்யாமொழி, வாயுறை வாழ்த்து, தமிழ் மறை, திருவள்ளுவம் என்ற பெயர்கள் அதற்குரியவை. கருத்துக்களை இன, மொழி, பாலின பேதங்களின்றி காலம் கடந்தும் பொருந்துவது போல் கூறி உள்ளதால் இந்நூல் "உலகப் பொது மறை" என்றும் அழைக்கப்படுகிறது

An Intro on Thirukural:

Most historians consider only three people have produced and preserved a literature: The Chinese, Indians and the Jews. The Indian contribution comes through three languages: the extinct Sanskrit and Pali, and the extant Tamil. Tamil existed in the Dravidian south India even before Sanskrit entered through north. Of all the Dravidian languages, however, Tamil has the longest literary history and is the least subjected to Sanskrit influence. Its grammar is said to have been fixed around 300 B.C.and its contribution to the field of literature is immense. Traces of pre-Aryan Tamil poetry belonging to the Sangam Age (100 B.C. to 300 A.D.) have survived to this day.

The ancient Tamil country produced great saints, poets, poetesses, sages and reformers. Easily the most famous and greatest of all Tamil classics is Thirukkural (abridged name "Kural"). The Kural is one of the earliest sets of aphorisms to have existed not in Sanskrit but in Tamil. The prefix Thiru, meaning 'sacred,' is often added as a mark of respect. No other Tamil work has received so much importance like the Kural, and no other Tamil work has seen so many translations and commentaries into almost all major languages of the world.This Tamil sangam literature comprising of 1330 couplets or kurals. It was authored by Thiruvalluvar, a poet who is said to have lived anytime between 2nd century BCE and 5th century CE. This is reflected in some of the other names by which the text is given by such as தமிழ் மறை (Tamil Marai-Tamil Vedas), உத்தரவேதம் (Uttaravedam - superior Veda), பொய்யாமொழி (Poyyamozhi - statements devoid of untruth), வாயூரை வாழ்த்து (Vayurai Vazhthu - truthful utterances), தெய்வநூல் (Deyvanool - divine book), பொதுமறை (Pothumarai - common-man's Veda).

There are claims and counter claims as to the authorship of the book and to the exact number of couplets written by Thiruvalluvar. The first instance of the author's name mentioned as Thiruvalluvar is found to be several centuries later in a song of praise called Garland of Thiruvalluvar in Thiruvalluva Malai. Apart from these origination questions, its stands tall among other literary works to shape and support human lifestyle even after 20 centuries. Its a must read literary work for every human being. This app will make you enjoy the experience of reading it.
