Tamil Sentiment

Tamil SentimentWe dedicate Tamizhunarchi for the first time in English as Tamil Sentiment to Mother Tamil and place it at her feet in humility. Thanks to the great seer poet scholar, Dr. Suddhananda Bharati, the author of the original Tamil version, the Tamil language, its land and its people are getting recognition at present times. This book could provide a burning inspiration for making Tamil Nadu a modern and progressive state, by enriching its traditional language, with meaningful changes, putting it on a par with the English language and spearheading all-round progress in economy, trade, industry and art, as well as in political wisdom, religion and philosophy.It is an established truth everywhere that the seer poet, Dr. Suddhananda Bharati, has devoted many long years in the service of Tamil. We are publishing this anthology, from among the articles he wrote over a long period of time, in various Tamil magazines, to awaken the Tamil people. Tamil shrines, Tamil culture, the history of Tamils, the greatness of ancient Tamils and the place they deserve in the history of the world, the state of Tamils at present, the means to improve their language, the awakening of Tamils, the renewed Tamil state, unity of consciousness, the art of living – all these and many more treasures are buried in this book. Precious poems like ‘The Tamil Hymn’, ‘Stand upright, Tamilians’, ‘Garland of Tamil Love’, ‘My dear Tamils’ – could give courage and determination to Tamils.Let God’s blessings and the encouragement of all well wishers, give us the inspiration to carry out the programmes laid down in this book. A rare enthusiasm is found in this writing for the love of the country and the Tamil culture.With the energy of Shuddha Shakti!Long live Mother Tamil!Editions ASSA, Christian Piaget
