Thiruvalluvar, an enigmatic figure veiled in the mists of time, transcends temporal boundaries as a Tamil poet-saint. The tapestry of his existence, woven between the 3rd-4th or 8th-9th century, shrouds him in the ambiguity of religious identity, with whispers of Jainism and Hinduism entwined. Seated upon a Chowki, bearing the sacred implements of a pen (Kalam) and divine couplets, Thiruvalluvar becomes the embodiment of eternal wisdom.
Renouncing the divisive shackles of caste, his “Tirukkural (sacred couplets)” resonates across epochs— a literary opus intricately divided into “Aram (virtue)”, “Porul (government and society)”, and “Kamam (love)”. In the ethereal realm of philosophy, Thiruvalluvar’s essence permeates, a luminous beacon beyond the confines of mere mortal years.
