(This trial fails to measure the height of TAMIL and TAMILLAND in all its dimensions. Tamil literature is vast. Its depth is immeasurable.
I tasted just a drop! From time immemorial Tamil land clasps all, till today, whoever comes to make an esteemed living. Tamil Temples and related arts could not be spoken by me. I am just like an ignorant frog which does not know anything about lotuses though it lives with them!)

This speaks volume of our Tamil literature and the great souls who wrote them long ago. This has taken our Tamil land and its Tamil language to sky high. Silappadigaram was written by Illangovadigal, followed by Manimegalai written by Seethalai Sathanar during Sangam age some 1400 years ago. I wrote the same text in English poetry and had made CDs also. I was a Tamil Student during my school days and enjoyed the nectar of Tamil Kaviyams, which prompted me to write about them at the last lap of my life. Please write more about the Tamil scriptures and let the eyes of the world see its treasures thro' your writings. Thanks for sharing your poem with me.
Who am I to comment on such an invaluable subject? You are just amazing in every word you have composed here..... this is a well constructed tribute to your mother tongue! What else can I say, I am speachless! ! ! !
