Weaving Ancient Wisdom

The heartbeat of Tamil civilization, echoed in Thirukkural which presents agriculture not just as a profession, but as life’s backbone:

சுழன்றும்ஏர்ப் பின்னது உலகம் அதனால்
உழந்தும் உழவே தலை.

“Wherever the world turns, it follows the plough; so, despite hardship, farming remains supreme.”

உழுதுண்டு வாழ்வாரே வாழ்வார்மற் றெல்லாம்
தொழுதுண்டு பின்செல் பவர்.

“Only those who live by tilling the soil truly live; others merely survive on the toil of farmers.”
