Great for everyone of all faiths

"A smiling face is no sure sign of friendship. Friendship is found deep within a smiling heart" Kural 786"Love, modesty, propriety, a kindly eye and truthfulness--these are the five pillars on which perfect goodness rests." Kural 983"Eyes that remain unmoved by pity might as well be unmovable trees stumps bound in earth." Kural 576This book is a wonderful addition to any spiritual library and is a great tool for mediation. On the cover of my book, is a sticker saying, "India's Fortune Cookies for the Soul" and rightly so. You apply apply most, if not all, of the 1080 Kurals (verses) from the first 2 chapters of the Tirukural to your daily life. There are Kurals from all sorts of subjects, and there are 10 Kurals per subject. Also, for each subject, there is a Kural illustrated on the left, with the Kural written in Tamil. Lastly, there is a glossary and index in the back to help you find and understand the Kurals.
