#YAADHUM OORE YAAVARUM KELIR FULL POEM FULL#
நன்று ( good) and தீது (evil) do not come from others.Hence, all people should be bound by one, same moral and legal code. Every human of every town is of the same value because they are கேளிர் (related).The first part of the poem deals with the basic principles of the 'Way of Order'(Tamil: முறை வழி, muṟai vazhi ?) which is his term for natural law. Throughout his poem he lays down the principles of his version of natural law. This he calls 'Way of Order'(Tamil: முறை வழி, muṟai vazhi ?). Pungunranar states that the wooden log is carried by the water in its direction and similarly postulates that everything in life will also follow Natural law. Very fine poetry of material and stoic philosophy, reminding one, perhaps, of Grey's elegy- but not of "cosmopolitanism" as many might like to believe.
The poem concludes with the statement " as we have heard great minds explaining this universal truth to us, we are neither overawed by the greatness of mighty people nor repulsed by people of lower state in life". The first musical form of Yaadhum Oore poem by composer Rajan Somasundaram was chosen as the theme song of 10th World Tamil Conference from the album Sandham: Symphony Meets Classical Tamil and was featured in Amazon's Top10 International Music albums. The rest of the poem pictures the illusory and transient nature of life with its pains and pleasures, moving along pre-ordained track according to natural order, rather like a fragile raft going down a mountain stream in stormy weather. The Tamil bards and intellectualists of the time of Kaniyan Pungunranar and those preceding his age considered that all men, whatever their rank or station in life, were alike.Īlthough the opening line sounds like a herald of "universalism" and the oneness of human beings everywhere, a reading of the subsequent lines of this poem from Purananuru reveals a totally different context and meaning of the opening line. He rejected division of mankind into various categories and emphasised the universality of all men. PM Modi at UNGA: 3000 years back great poet of India Kaniyan Pungundranar, in the oldest language of the world Tamil, said Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir - meaning We harbour a feeling of kinship for all places and all people are our own and this sense of belonging beyond borders, is unique to India. Kaniyan Pungundranar composed two poems in Tamil in Purananuru and Natrinai. (Translated by G.U.Pope, 1906) Cosmopolitanism Kaniyan Pungundranar is an influential Tamil poet and philosopher who lived during the Sangam Age.He was said to be born in the village of Mahibalanpatti in Tirupattur taluk of Sivagangai district, Tamil Nadu.
