[hometext] => This poem I am submitting herewith explaining the secrets of maintaining a good domestic life. Although I am not married but these are my knowledge in reading the Thirukkural written by the great Saint Thiruvalluvar.
[bodytext] => The virtuous men of household, firm in way of good, sustain The three openly declared relations, they should maintain To saints, to poor and to ancestors in clay The virtuous men of household, be helpful and stay To the manes, gods, guests, relatives and self in due degree These five to cherish well, is the chief charity Sharing his meal with others, all guilt he shuns His virtuous line remain unbroken, though the ages runs If in his household love and virtue reign This is of life, that gives perfect grace and gain A virtue in active household, a man cannot retain What fruit from other modes, as virtue can he gain? If in nature`s way he spends his calm domestic days Amid all striving for virtue`s crown, has foremost place For virtues set by others in their way, and if he never declines And even bears stern domestic pains, such life brighter shines This domestic life rightly bears true virtue`s name That other too, if found blameless due praise may claim If he spends domestic life, by household virtues graced Shall amidst the gods who dwell in heaven, be placed.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
