Classical Naatiyam for Kural Songs by Nila Natarajan

Nila Natarajan is dancing for seven Thirukkkurals.

Greatness of God

1. 'A' is the prime of all letters and the world has the eternal God for its first. (1)

2. None can swim the great sea of births but those who have God in their life. (10)

Learning

3. Water will flow from a well in proportion to the depth to which it is dug, and knowledge will flow from a man in proportion to his learning. (396)

Friendship

4. One should help a friend in distress as swiftly as one's hand will rush to seize a slipping garment. (788)

Power of the mind

5. The stalks of water-flowers are proportionate to the depth of water; so is men's greatness proportionate to their minds. (595)

Selection and Confidence

6. Examine merits and defects, strike a balance, and choose the person for any job. (504)

Virtuous Life

7. With a successful life on earth one can achieve the status of heavenly God. (50)

Kural play by Clara (Deepa) Peter

Kural  - 335 (Chapter 34. Impermanence/Nilaiyamai)

Before the tongue lie powerless, mid the gasp of gurgling breath,
Arouse thyself, and do good deeds beyond the power of death.

Let virtuous deeds be done quickly, before the hiccup comes making the tongue silent.
