About the Book

Thirukkural: Pearls Of Inspiration is a piece of classic Tamil literature that outlines the qualities of perfection embodied in a human, written in couplets or Kurals. Summary Of The Book Thirukkural: Pearls Of Inspiration is a translation of the original book titled, Thirukkural, written by sage Thiruvalluvar more than 2,000 years ago. Thirukkural contains over a thousand couplets, which address qualities that contribute to a human being’s perfection. These qualities are sacrifice, charity, virtue, and self control. The modern version has retained the essence of the original text and has included many philosophical insights which are relevant for humanity today. Rajaram’s interpretation will guide readers through a mystical journey of the past by revealing the meaning of each couplet, yet making it applicable in the modern era. The modern interpretation of this Tamil classic embodies a whole range of human values, which contributes towards cultural, individual, and social harmony. The aphorisms in this book were applicable to people in all levels of society, whether they be kings, ascetics, or administrators. The author’s love of both the Tamil language and literature has enabled him to successfully translate this endearing classic. Written in a lucid and simple style, the author has maintained the original text’s poetic rhythm. Numerous translations of Thirukkural have been put forth. However, Rajaram’s translation has received much praise from Dr. Abdul Kalam, the former Indian President. Thirukkural: Pearls Of Inspiration was published in 2009. About M. Rajaram Dr. M. Rajaram is an author and an officer in the Indian Administrative Service. He has authored other titles such as Changing Faces Of School Inspection, Who Will Bell The Cat?, and Towards Quality In Educational Administration. Rajaram has postgraduate degrees in both Education and English Literature. He worked for over twenty years in the Tamil Nadu government’s education department. Rajaram has received numerous awards for his accomplishments. Some of these include the Malcolm Adisseshaiah Award, Vashista Vidya Shiksak National Award, and Best Collector Award.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
