Hello I am Bala Ramadurai. On January 15th, 2025, Thiruvalluvar day, I launched this podcast dedicated to Poet and Saint Thiruvalluvar. Thiruvalluvar was one of ancient India’s greatest poets and philosophers. His 1330 poems pack a punch, covering topics like love, loyalty, and living life on your own terms - it’s like having the ultimate guide to navigating life’s complexities.

I am a Thirukkural enthusiast. I read and learn Thirukkural from various sources on the internet and from various scholars who have learnt the poems before me. Today, we are launching a unique podcast called Thirukkural A Day or TAD.

Imagine immersing yourself in Thiruvalluvar’s timeless wisdom.

You will meet Rajamani, a philosopher at heart, and his daughter Lata, who brings her unique perspective as an anime enthusiast. Together with Rajamani’s dad, Sahasranamam, a treasure trove of knowledge, the fictional trio will dive into these ancient poems and uncover their relevance in our modern world.

Join me on a journey as I embark on this adventure, you’ll discover how these ancient poems can be your roadmap to living a more purposeful, meaningful life. So, join me every day as I explore Thirukkural, starting today, on what promises to be an unforgettable journey - one poem at a time, one Thirukkural a day.
