		Again, the Tirukkural is definitely not explicit about sex, as you say (I wasn't under the illusion; I did Tirukkural in school too.) Its kind of like some of the romantic works of Shakespeare.
		On the other hand, the primary meaning of divine is relating to a deity, which the inbathuppal is clearly not.
		Even if that was true, it doesn't matter Tirukkural as much as Tiruvalluvar as he never claimed his philosophy as Hindu.

	THE TIRUKKURAL
		It is a great tribute to Tirukkural that several maxims and concepts projected by it are equally applicable to corporate bodies and institutions as well in the present times.
		He lacks the courage to take bold decisions and, what is worse, is not willing to accept responsibility for the situation resulting from whatever decision he may ultimately take.
		The salient point emphasised by Tirukkural in this regard is that before and administrator issues and order to any one down the line, he should also have an idea of how exactly the subordinate would be proceeding to implement that order.

		It attempted to compare Bible, Tirukkural and Shaiva philosophy and concluded that Tiruvalluvar was a disciple of St. Thomas and that his sayings were only sayings from Bible.
		The writer had attempted to distort and misinterpret the Shaiva Siddhanta to suit his conclusions that all these works emanated from the preachings of St. Thomas who is said to have visited India in the first century A.D. It was given to the Dharmapuram Math to issue a refutation.
		He said the Christian book was a bundle of distortions, misconceptions and misinterpretations of Tirukkural verses and Shaivite philosophical works to suit the conclusions of the author-namely that Christianity had influenced Tiruvalluvar and the Nayanmars.

		Tirukkural is an important Tamil scripture written by Tiruvalluvar containing about 1330 couplets which are divided into 133 chapters of 10 couplets each.
		Essentially, the 'Kural' is really a vast assortment of interlinking 'kurals.' By most, it is understood that the 1330 couplets conform well to subdivisions of ten kural 'chapters,' each on specific themes ranging anywhere from righteous living to proper governance of a kingdom.
		Tirukkural is divided into three main sections or adhikarams:

	Fifth International Tamil Conference 1981
		The Vice Chancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University called for a ban on English nursery schools, where, he claims, tiny tots are taught to look upon their native tongue as inferior.
		Apart from the figure of Mother Tamil - who in present-day Tamilnadu is not a really viable cultural symbol - perhaps the most representative emblem of the conference and of all that it stood for was the Tirukkural, a compendium of aphorisms on virtue in domestic and public life.
		One reason Tirukkural has been singled out for this sort of attention is precisely because it is not marked by any pronounced religious affiliation - unlike, say, Kamban's much-praised Ramayana, an unmistakably Hindu work of literary art.

		Though it cannot be said of all our present rulers that they possess the characteristics envisaged by Tiruvalluvar, one can say with confidence that the Finance Minister’s Budget proposals clearly reflect his sincere and bold attempts to adhere to these prescriptions and take the country along the path of growth, with stability and equity.
		As Rajaji wrote years ago, a high degree of civilisation, in the truest sense of the word is disclosed by Tirukkural, which was written more than 2000 years ago.

		I advocate the train to have the stoppings of current tirukkural and let it have stops outside TN also.
