திருக்குறள் குமரேச வெண்பா உணர்த்தும் வான்சிறப்பு / Expression of Thirukkural Kumaresa Venba on the Blessing of Rain

Description

Literature reflects human life and is based on the society of that time. According to the change of time, it evolves to satisfy the need to reform society. Thiruvalluvar is one of the most revered poets of Tamil Nadu. He is an icon of Tamil didactic writers. His “Thirukkural” is the most respected didactic literature of the world before the present civilizations existed in the world. Valluvar's kural is like a prayer for life and can be seen as also expressed by the mention of the blessing of the rain. Without mentioning the importance of the Sun and allied natural forces, it cannot be possible to express the importance of rain. Indeed, it is also impossible to predict when it will rain and how much it will rain. So, it is harmful whether it rains more or completely not. The fertility of the land and the sea, the prosperity of the land and the order of the world are determined by rainfall. The Blessing of the Rain chapter from “Thirukkural” expresses the importance of rain and the necessity of water for all life on earth. Due to climate change, economic life has been stunned by unusual rain today. Crops did not grow without proper rainfall. If there are no crops grown at the correct time, there will be no production. This article studies Jagaveera Pandyanar's “Thirukkural Kumaresa Venba” as a literary source that states the necessity of rain and a treatise to be worshipped.
