Tamil Wisdom: Traditions Concerning Hindu Sages And Selections From Their Writings

About the Book:- The narrator of this discourse has made a noble attempt to know the intricacies of Tamil language, literature, and its customs and tradition. This little volume of Heathen morals and learning affords an additional illustration of the truth of the Apostle’s words that ‘the world by wisdom knew not God. There is no evidence that the art of writing was practiced before the deluge; but it is demonstrated that in many lands it was commenced very soon after that event. The acquisition of the language in which the remains of Tamil wisdom are preserved, is not easy task. Aptitude, genius, industry, perseverance, is necessary to the Tamil scholar. He, who brings them, in their manners and minds, to the knowledge of the followers of Christ, confers on them a benefit which it is not easy to estimate. ‘This is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding’. The book is the product of extensive study of then Tamil wisdom and it is immensely good for readers and researchers in Tamil point view.
