Tamil Marriage Practices during the Sangam Period
Get PDFTolkappiyar says that the marriage system arose only after the appearance of lies and errors. Tamil and Tamil language are ancient. The Sangam age was a golden age for the Tamil race. Marriage is a relationship. Marriage takes place for reasons such as family, economy, progeny, etc. During the Sangam age, the married way of life is divided into two types. In the headman's house, a request is made to get the girl married and the girl's family chooses the bridegroom and gives her away in marriage to the man with the relatives around her. Another way that the woman and the man to go away willingly. In this case, traditional marriage is the willingness of both families to get married happily along with the people of the village and their neighbours. Madalmanam is the one in which the man climbs the palm horse to marry the woman of his choice. The marriage that takes place after that is called a Madalmanam. The marriage is done in the house of the man by giving gold, goods, and money. Monogamy consists of only two people. But marrying one or more women is polygamy. The vel madal, which describes the heroic spirit of the Tamils, is about fighting and marrying the woman of his choice. In this paper, let us discuss in detail about the marriages that took place during the Sangam period
A Study of Family Relationships in Film Songs by Poet Vairamuthu
Get PDFA single tree is not a grove. Similarly, the life of the individual is not special. Family structures pave the way for the discipline of individual life in the social system. A country without a family structure and a house are the same as a boat without a fin. Today, family systems are the maturity of man's high cultural evolution. Family gives us rich structures of tradition and culture. The family system has passed through thousands of years. When a man is born, his mother and father, and his way of life are naturally established for them. When they get married, they join new relationships along the way. The family structure is formed from the expansion of the relative circle when children are born. Today, human life of the development of science and science is hampered by coarse cultural practices that derail the course of our lives. Vairamuthu's songs are a reminder of the value of relationships for the present generation who forget relationships and move towards the economy

Tamil Artefacts in Cultural Anthropology
Get PDFMaterial culture and other sources, which are the basic source of anthropology, contribute greatly to the evaluation of the course of ancient civilization. Evidence of this can be found in our Sanskrit literature and the numerous artifacts found during archeological excavations. The culture of anthropology is not new, it is the field of knowledge that has been followed over time, social development. Man, who lived naturally with nature, discovered metals along with soil, wood, stone, etc., and used them to find many tools for everyday living needs. He also learned about the pros and cons of the products, as well as the beliefs of the method of use. The existence of antiquities of ancient Tamils in many objects can be traced back to material culture and Sangam literature. Remnants of ancient Tamil civilization are said to have been used in everyday life for household and industrial purposes. There is little doubt that despite the use of machines in modern times, what the superman used is still used by the rural people today
Literature from a Morality Point of view
Get PDFThe three basic principles of Tamil life are morality, meaning and pleasure. Of these three, aram is the chief. It is expected that one should try to work in harmony and colour to reduce conflicts with others while acting ethically. For a long time, morality has been studied from a philosophical point of view. In the recent past, morality has also been studied by scientific methods. Ethical egoism is the right thing for one to do for the benefit of oneself. The cultural elements that have evolved from time to time in society by the power of thought have multiplied as they are separately divided into common, domestic and war-torn. The ancient Tamils always gave it to everyone at any time and at any time. Our forefathers lived righteously, just as rain does not mean to give in, but gives unbalanced lying to all. It was said that wealth should be the giving of morality, wealth, and pleasure, and that it was the duty of men to earn such wealth
Internal Psychology in Vetkai Pathu Songs
Get PDFMan's knowledge is moving towards new discoveries every day. No matter how much you discover it is a bit of a challenge to figure out what the human mind is thinking. What do we think in our hearts when we all know the proverb that ‘being in a pot is like being in a bag’? That's what we'll talk about. But do we speak in all cases and circumstances? Seems to think a bit if. Searching for the answer, Sigmund Freud says that the outside does not show what the inside thinks. I put forward this idea and searched in the Sangam literature in which a lot of the literature had the claim of a friend but in five of the five consecutive songs the friend's claim is in the same mood as the friend's mentality. The way the friend answers the leader's question of what you and the leader thought of me during the time I went to the leader's whore shows the friend's inner state most wonderfully. There are many reasons why an individual may not disclose his inner state to others out of fear, shame, danger, indifference, good, evil, etc. Here the friend does not disclose to the leader what she thinks inwardly because the leader is not saying it is in the best interest of the family not to split up. At the same time what you do directly to the leader is wrong and only you know how to make a mistake? Can we go to the whore too? Thinking that there will be trouble in the family again if asked, the friend hides the virtuous deeds of the leader without revealing anything and at the same time hides the false whore behavior of the leader indirectly through the parable without revealing what he thought indirectly. It was only in the eighteenth century that Sigmund Freud stated that the external mind does not reflect what the inner mind thinks. But it can be seen that Oram Pokiyar, who wrote the Sangam literary Vetkai Pathu in Tamil 2000 years ago, has shown the psychology that the external does not show what the inner thinks
Genealogical grammar development and text formatting in Tamil society
Get PDFLanguage is the ultimate creation of human knowledge. As a result of linguistic activity the universe, nature, culture, the relationship between society and man, the worldview based on it, theories based on that perspective, the rules that follow are formed, the types that are taught to test those rules together form the knowledge sequence of a time. Grammars and texts were developed in such a knowledge-based dialectical community. The reading that takes place in a work in each period makes the understanding of the work run as an evolution. Thus, textual traditions based on discussions of grammatical texts formed by studying grammatical texts, the formation of grammars, bibliography and grammatical commanders can be found. Similarly, it is necessary to know the stages of textual formation and development in Tamil society on the basis of tradition
The Devotional Norm of the Siddharthas
Get PDFThis is the time when the Tamil community is being studied globally. The reason is that the multi-purpose talents of the Tamils who have lived in every age are astonishing to many. These skills have been documented in the literature over time. One of them is Siddharth literature. It is no exaggeration to say that the Siddhars who originated in the Tamil tradition have a unique place in India and in the world. Those who have attained the eight types of Siddhas are generally called Siddhas. The Siddhas realized the instability of the yajna and subjected their body to their enlightenment, knowing the way to live with their body without dying for a long time. Needless to say, there is no such thing as a field that the Siddhars who have lived for a long time have not studied. Atheists have the argument that atheists are supernaturalists. Some may have defined themselves as atheists because they hate idolatry and say it in their songs. This article is designed to illustrate the point that the Siddhas are of the opinion that they should have a united mind and worship by removing the hypocrisy of paganism and how they have visualized the forms of the Lord in their songs
