This blog is exclusively reserved for posting Thirukural - both in Tamil & English. It will also include an explanation of the Kurals in English for the benefit of all IL'ites visiting this space.
This is a collective work by a few IL'ites to share the knowledge of Thirukural amongst the IndusLadies Community.
We used to post '5 Kurals a day' earlier. In order to give more time for the readers to read it, absorb it and enrich this space with their comments, we have changed the frequency to a weekly blog posting of '10 Kurals a week'.
Hope you will all enjoy the Kurals. Do not forget to leave your comments on our effort.

156. ஒறுத்தார்க்கு ஒருநாளை இன்பம்; பொறுத்தார்க்குப்
பொன்றும் துணையும் புகழ்.
oruthaarkku orunaalai inbam; poruthaarkku
ponrum thunaiyum pugazh.
The joy of revenge lasts for a day, but those who forgive enjoy the fruits of it forever.
157. திறனல்ல தன்பிறர் செய்யினும் நோநொந்து
அறனல்ல செய்யாமை நன்று.
thiranalla thanpirar seyyinum nonondhu
aranalla seyyaamai nanru.
However great the harm done to you maybe,better not to take it to your heart and abstain from revenge.
158. மிகுதியான் மிக்கவை செய்தாரைத் தாம்தம்
தகுதியான் வென்று விடல்.
migudhiyaan mikkavai seidhaarai thaamtham
thagudhiyaan vendru vidal.
Conquer those persons (who inflict injury upon you through their pride), by patience.
159. .துறந்தாரின் தூய்மை உடையர் இறந்தார்வாய்
இன்னாச்சொல் நோற்கிற் பவர்.
thurandhaarin thooimai udaiyar irandhaarvaai
innaachol norkir bhavar.
Those who bear with the uncourteous speech of the insolent are pure as the ascetics.
160. உண்ணாது நோற்பார் பெரியர்; பிறர்சொல்லும்
இன்னாச்சொல் நோற்பாரின் பின்.
unnaadhu norpaar periyar; pirarsollum
innaachol norpaarin pin.
Those who do fasting are great, but they are only next to those who forgive the uncourteous speech of others..

 |  Hi Bhargavi the above quotes are gems! Wish I could memorize and remember them forever. There would be no hate crimes if everyone followed them a little bit. |
