Thirukkural

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs:

 

I am forwarding anote from SrIman Bhattathiry .

ThirukkuraL is considered by many as a VaishNava

grantham in the sense that the many doctrines of

VaishNavam are echoed there. ParimElazhagar's

commentary is especailly recommended to appreciate

these ters Verses ( KuraL or Soothram like).

 

There is a series of postings on SrI nrusimha

PriyA Tamil version by a vaishNavite Scholar on

ThirukkuraL as a VaishNava grantham in selected

chapters.

 

The references cited by SrI Bhattathiry might be of

interst to you.Thank you SrIman Bhattathiry.
