NADAIMURAYIN (THIRU)KURAL – THE PRACTICAL VOICE OF THIRUVALLUVAR: The Original Masterclass in Emotional Intelligence and the Blueprint for a Greater Humankind

<p>A recent book that deeply inspired me is Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman which compellingly argues through historical evidence that human nature is fundamentally kind and decent. This resonates with the timeless wisdom of Thiruvalluvar&rsquo;s Thirukural which I believe was written to guide us toward becoming a &ldquo;greater Humankind.&rdquo; While Bregman uncovers goodness in history Thiruvalluvar offers a practical blueprint for cultivating it.</p><p>To me Thiruvalluvar is the greatest psychologist the world has known. His Thirukural predates and surpasses modern works like Daniel Goleman&rsquo;s Emotional Intelligence offering precise guidance on empathy self-regulation and social harmony. Composed in Tamil a language of poetic minimalism the Thirukural distills profound truths into concise verses each a universe of insight.</p><p>In today&rsquo;s world of digital isolation and fleeting validation Thiruvalluvar&rsquo;s teachings are more vital than ever. This book repositions his wisdom within our daily lives at home in public and online revealing a timeless path to emotional balance and civic virtue. It&rsquo;s not just a book; it&rsquo;s a call to embed the Thirukural into our educational DNA as the definitive guide to modern Moral Science and exemplary citizenship.</p>
