Thirukkural Couplet Day 7

Tanakkuvamai illatan talcemtark kallal
Manakkavalai marral aritu.

Theose alone escape the anxieties of the mind,
Who seek refuge with the peerless one.

Only those who seek and attain the haven of God's own peace, by contemplation on Him can hope to save themselves from life's trouble and anguish.

Thirukkural Couplet Day 6

Porivayil aintavittan poytir olukka,
Nerininrar nitu valvar

Those who tred the faultless path of the One who is immune,
To the five senses and the evils thereof will attain lasting life.

Those who follow the path of Godliness will attain eternal life.

Thirukkural Couplet Day 5

Irulcer irvinaiyum cera iraivan
Porulcer pukalpurintar mattu


The twin deeds of dark illusion will not affect,
Those who delight meaningfully in God's praise.


Good deeds are as much a bondage to the soul as evil deeds, and both of them being facets of illusion could be shed only by those who abide in the lord.

Thirukkural Couplet Day 4

Ventutal ventamai elanati cerntarrku
Yantum itumpai ila
No evil should ever come to those who have contempated the feet,
Of him who is above human frailities of desire and hatred

For those who find heaven at God's feet, which is the shrine of ultimate freedom from all atachment there shall befall no evil or harm of any dimension.

Thirukkural Couplet Day 3

Malarmicai ekinan manati cerntar
Nilamicai nitu valvar

Only those find lasting life that contemplate on him,
Who has made the blossomed mind his abode.

Mind cultivated along righteous ways is receptive to godliness and when such a mind contemplates god it blossoms out even more ad ensures salvation.

THIRUKKURAL COUPLET Day 2

1.In praise of god
2.  Karratana laa payanekol; valarivan
Narral tolaar renin
Learning and scholarship are of no avail if they do not lead
One, to worship at the wise one's divine feet.
Education must make one think of god. The concept of reaching Gods feet is the culmination of all birth, which can be achieved only by right  learning and appropriate conduct in keeping with such learning.
The purpose of all education is clearly laid down here
 'as the holy way of knowing God and worshipping him' 

THIRUKKURAL COUPLET Day 1

1. In Praise of God


"Akara mutala elutellam; ati
Pakavan mutarre ulaku."


The alphabet begins with 'A';

So does the Universe with God.

Just as the letter 'A' begins and energises all the other letters of the alphabet, God is the origin and sustenance of the universe.
