Unlocking Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living: A New Book on Thirukkural is Coming!

For over two millennia, a treasure trove of wisdom on ethics, leadership, and living a meaningful life has guided humanity. The Thirukkural, a masterpiece of 1,330 couplets written by the sage Thiruvalluvar, offers profound insights that remain strikingly relevant today. Yet, for many, its ancient verses can feel distant and complex.

What if we could bridge that gap? What if the timeless wisdom of this sacred text could be unlocked for the common person, by a common person?

This year, prepare to experience the Thirukkural like never before. I am thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my book, "Thirukkural for the Common Man," expected in late 2025. This book is not just another translation; it's a guide designed to make the Kural's powerful teachings accessible, practical, and deeply personal for every single reader.

What is the Thirukkural?

Often called a "common creed," the Thirukkural is a universal and secular guide to life, authored by Thiruvalluvar more than 2,000 years ago. Its teachings are masterfully organized into three parts: Aram (Virtue), Porul (Wealth, Governance, and worldly affairs), and Inbam (Love). These short, powerful couplets touch upon nearly every aspect of human existence, from personal integrity and family life to leadership and social responsibility.

In a world filled with fleeting advice and quick fixes, the Thirukkural offers enduring truths that can ground us and provide a moral compass. Whether you are a student, a professional, a parent, or a leader, the Kural's wisdom can help you navigate life's challenges with clarity and grace.
