Nice meeting u. lets keep in touch for personal as well as professional reasons (though i would have more to gain from respected seniors like u ):P
though a number of books and commentaties besides translations are available let me tell U about 3 books which differently but distibctly bring out the greatness of the work,
“Kuraloviyam” by MKarunanidhi “Valluvar Ullam”by R.Kesava Iyrngar and “Valluvarum vaazhkkai neri muraiyum” by Rajaji.All the best Partha krish
Prabhu, KIT
Partha Uncle,
Glad to know that You and Seyyon were part of “Thirukkural Kazhagam”.
I used to listen to Seyyon’s program on A.I.R. Its a great program.
May be a Thirukkural e-group can be started at Yahoo Groups. Perhaps, PODCAST initiative needs to be taken to voice-over Thirukural on the internet. Hope respected Seyyon sir is listening!
I will check out the 3 books mentioned by you. மிக்க நன்றி!
Please inform to me in email about next Blogger Meet. I also would like to participate. Thanks.
