    Feminism is the struggle for women's liberation. That means a woman is as independent as a man. She is not inferior in any capacity or in any way. She fights to reclaim this right for herself. In that struggle, she is not an enemy to the man. She is the enemy of his supremacy and power. She wants to involve him in the struggle. If he stands in their way, she will defeat him and fight to get freedom for both of them. In the absence of economic security, social rights, and political recognition for women, women are suffering because they cannot decide their own lives.

    Poetry penetrates human minds and deepens the light of life. In poetry of this nature, poets use a variety of techniques to convey their thoughts to others.

    Manivasagar says, there is just one and only God. He specifies many epithets to the Supreme Deity. He sings, God is the Primary Deity for all living beings. SaivaSidhantha also describes, God (Pathi) is the primary thing among all. Manivasagar narrated that the Grace of God (Pathi) is required to detach the soul (Pasu) from the bondage (Pasam) and to reach the God. According to SaivaSidhantha, the cause of every birth is the effect of past karma which includes both-right and wrong deeds. Manivasagar has also mentioned the same as SaivaSidhantha. This paper talks about the relationships and characteristics of three primary saivasidhantha truths, that is pathi, pasu, pasam.

    In primitive times, humans who wandered independently in their habitats without worrying about shelters needed to adapt their lifestyles to protect themselves from other life forms and to obtain the factors they needed to survive. People who had been living separately came together and started living in ethnic groups. The ceremony was a tool for the man who was destined to live like this out of fear of survival and to associate himself with his ethnic groups. And this festival was a factor in the evolution of this ethnic group into a society. Used as a tool in the early stages, the festival later evolved into a part of depicting the traditions and culture of a human-based society headed by a distinct ethnic group. In the course of time, this festival has become a reflection of the living arrangements of the people of that time and the materials used, customs and social systems depending on their environment. This article describes the events that took place from the beginning to the end of the festivals celebrated in Classical Literature

    If we look at the term "Contemporary" in the history of the Tamil language, the periods starting from the end of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century to the present day are variously defined as the period of the arrival of Melai Natar, the development of prose, drama, the rise of film Tamil, science, Tamil, computer Tamil, the developmental period of web Tamil, and Media Tamil, and refer to the literary creations of the respective periods as twentieth century Tamil literature as well as divided, compiled, and analysed into short stories, novels, short novels, prose poems, new poems, and haiku poems. It seems that today's Tamil world is travelling in a worthwhile world of knowledge and exploration. When looking at the history of the Tamil language in its entirety, it is noteworthy that literary and grammatical works of the same type have been written from the Sangatamil period up to the mediaeval Tamil period. However, it is evident that modern Tamil literature has been created with more open forms and poetry. Because, although the modern literary period is shorter than other literary periods, the ideal world that Tamil says has to be renewed for many changes, changes and needs from the level of daily life, and it has become something that can happen naturally. Therefore, the works of modern Tamil literature have been structured beyond the natural Tamil language literary and grammatical definitions in accordance with the living environment, i.e., in terms of subject matter and formative structures, they are structured with indefinite definitions. However, the creations of C. Subramania Bharatiyar, who was born on 11.12.1882 and completed his worldly life on 11.09.1921 AD, are works that preserve the traditions of Tamil literature and grammar, and it is noteworthy to point to the contemporary traces, bear the traces of time that belong to the future of the same time, and record the traces of time that are suitable for all times. It is admirable that he has recorded in his poems hundreds of years before while singing about Gandhi. He is expressing his contemporary position of self-reliance as the primary leader of thirty crore people who are very diverse in many different races, languages, and cultures, a compilation of songs titled "Paradesam" even before the independence of Bharatha Nadu, published in the collection "Naatuppaattu" in AD 1919, and presenting Bharatha desam before our eyes with his poetry and the basic forms of activities that will be the projects of the 21st Century Resource Forms for Central Government Projects. Many projects, such as the Sethu Samudhirthra Project of the Central Government, which is much talked about today, will be explained. This article examines "Vinayagar Nanmani Mala’ which was written in 1918 AD and first published in 1929 AD, the four types of duties and their benefits that are meant for people of all ages
