Hi all

Recently, there was a discussion in prpoint group about the various management and communication strategies in ancient Indian literatures and epics. There was a discussion about the strategies used in Ramayana and Mahabarata. Also, the members pointed out the tips provided by Chankaya and Thiruvalluvar.

During the discussion, Dr C V N Reddy, one of the senior communication professionals from Hyderabad suggested that why should I not take up writing about the tips provided in Thirukkural.

Thirukkural was written 2000 years back by Saint Thiruvalluvar. In 1330 couplets (known as Kural), Thiruvalluvar talks about many management and human principles. Each Kural has only 7 words with 25 to 30 characters. Probably, when Twitter with 140 characters was introduced, the whole world got excited. But Thiruvalluvar has conveyed great principles in 7 words even 2000 years back.

As suggested by Dr Reddy, I am making an honest attempt to write about the management and communication strategies and tips provided by Saint Thiruvalluvar. Thirukkural is a big ocean with lot of valuable treasure inside. Though I do not consider myself competent to understand the great meanings of Thirukkural, I am only making an humble and honest attempt to share my views with others, whatever little I have understood.

I plan to write three posts every week. You may keep visiting the site or subscribe through email from the subscription box given in that site.

I always hold the view that our Indian ancient Gurus have communicated to us better strategies, than even the foreign authors. Probably, we have not explored their greatness. With all humility, let us try to explore them to the best possible way.

You may kindly send your views and suggestions to me personally.
