by R. Poornalingam (Author)

Thiruvalluvar is widely recognized as one of ancient India's greatest thinkers, and his kurals (short verses) are a profound and timeless reflection on human thoughts and actions. These non-religious couplets, written more than two thousand years ago, deal with universal and timeless laws applicable to all of humanity.

What is astonishing is that the kurals included in the Tamil literary masterpiece Thirukkural have been translated into several languages, much like the Bible.

This book is a detailed commentary covering two significant aspects of Thirukkural wisdom-wealth and virtue. There are 100 couplets: 63 talk about wealth, and 37 about virtues. English translation, transliteration, and meaning are provided for the chosen couplets, followed by a discussion highlighting their contemporary relevance with historical and personal examples to help the reader absorb the full import of Thirukkural.

This is a modern retelling of one of the greatest works ever written on ethics and morality.
