Humanistic Thoughts in Tamilanban's Poems

Abstract

Billions of creatures are born, live and die on this earth. Of these, the most unique and virtuous birth was the human birth. That is why Avvaiyar says that it is rare to be born as a human being. The innumerable beings who take birth from one sense to five senses are completely different from the sixth sense, the human birth. When a man who has acquired the highest knowledge of the power of thought directs that knowledge in a good way, he and the society to which he belongs; It will be beneficial. On the other hand, when he engages in inhuman activities, he brings upon himself irreparable misery and causes great harm to others with whom he works. It is said that wherever Dharma is established on this earth, there will be God's mercy. The Puranas and Epics indicate that when dharma declines and adharma rises, God takes various incarnations to establish dharma in its place. The purpose of this article is to identify and expose the various humanistic thoughts that have been taken up as the theme and subject principle in the collection of 1000 poems of Poet Thamizhanban which has been studied on the basis of this thought, while at the same time pointing out the denial of humanism and to show the high cultural values to be observed with human beings.
