description: This study explores the representation and significance of nature in the auspicious ceremonies described in the Sundara Moorthy Nayanar Puranam, a narrative embedded within the 12th-century Periya Puranam by Sekkizhar. Adopting an ecocritical framework, particularly the principles of Deep Ecology, the research examines how natural elements such as flowers, plants, water, fire, and organic decorative materials are integrated into ritual practices with cultural, spiritual, and ecological meanings. The analysis demonstrates that these materials, drawn entirely from renewable resources, align with concepts of environmental sustainability and circular resource use. Furthermore, the study identifies the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of these natural substances, highlighting their role in promoting physical well-being, mental harmony, and spiritual purification. The findings suggest that these ritual practices reflect an intrinsic human–nature relationship based on mutual respect, sacred symbolism, and ecological awareness in ancient Tamil society. By situating the Sundara Moorthy Nayanar Puranam within the broader tradition of Tamil Shaivism, this research contributes to understanding how cultural heritage can inform contemporary environmental ethics. The study concludes that auspicious ceremonies in the Periya Puranam are not merely religious or social events, but also living embodiments of sustainable practices and ecological consciousness, offering valuable insights for integrating environmental preservation into modern cultural traditions.

description: This research, titled “The Struggles Faced by Indian Early Career Professionals from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya at the Workplace,” explores the difficulties experienced by early-career graduates as they transition into the workforce. The study aims to identify the academic background of the graduates, examine their career pathways, and understand the challenges they encounter in the workplace. In light of the gap between academic preparation and workplace demands, a quantitative research method was employed through the distribution of structured questionnaires to 80 Indian graduates. The data were analyzed using Jamovi software. This research is grounded in Schlossberg’s Transition Theory, which explains how individuals adapt to life transitions. Key findings reveal challenges, including a lack of experience, weaknesses in soft skills, pressure from job expectations, and poor work-life balance. The results indicate that these challenges can be categorized into internal and external factors. The study successfully met its objectives and provides practical recommendations to help graduates better adapt to the world of work in a more prepared and sustainable manner.

இடைநிலைப்பள்ளி இந்திய மாணவர்களின் கல்வித் திறனில் பன்மொழிக் கற்றலின் தாக்கம் – ஓர் ஆய்வு
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the impact of multilingual learning on the academic performance among Indian students of secondary schools in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. Conducted under the framework of ‘Translation Theory’ (2014), this research specifically analyzes how students navigate multilingual challenges within school environments that involve Tamil, Malay, and English languages. The data for this study were collected through interviews with 14 Indian students from seven different secondary schools in Ipoh, Perak. Although Indian students face challenges such as language confusion in the classroom and unequal language proficiency levels, they also experience several benefits. To overcome multilingual challenges, students adopt various learning strategies, including the use of translation practices and artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini AI, and Copilot. Additionally, temples and volunteer organizations function as informal language learning centers. These findings contribute to the limited body of literature on the experiences of Indian students within the context of multilingual education and provide practical guidance for educators and policymakers to further strengthen multilingual learning.

தமிழ் படைப்புகளை மலாய் மொழிக்கு மொழிபெயர்ப்பதில் ஏற்படும் சிக்கல்கள் : ஒரு மொழியியல் மற்றும் கலாச்சார ஆய்வு
type: item
description: Translating Tamil creative works into Malay presents a complex and challenging endeavor that demands not only linguistic proficiency but also a deep cultural sensitivity. It is not merely about changing the language, but demands attentiveness to linguistic differences and cultural comprehension. This study explores the primary challenges encountered in the process of translating Tamil literary texts into Malay, focusing particularly on issue related to linguistic disparity, idiomatic translation, cultural context, and the preservation of literary beauty.Translation often faces a dilemma between maintaining the authenticity of the text and ensuring that its message is easily understood by the target reader. This creates a tension between loyalty to the source text and understanding the aesthetics of the language. Similarly, cultural symbols may only be understood within the context of specific communities.The analysis reveals a clear tension between the need to remain faithful to the original text and the need to ensure the target readers comprehension. For instance, many Tamil proverbs carry rich, layered meanings that do not have direct equivalents in Malay. Likewise, certain cultural symbols or references may only be meaningful within specific communities, making it difficult for them to resonate with a broader readership.The author proposes several strategic recommendations, such as the use of bilingual cultural glossaries, intercultural translation training, and collaboration between translators and original authors. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the development of higher quality creative translation practices in our country, where multilingualism and multiculturalism coexist, such an approach to translation can serve as a powerful tool for cultural preservation, literally appreciation, and national integration.

தமிழ் மொழியில் தற்காலத் தொழில்நுட்பப் பயன்பாடு
type: item
description: This research shows that Tamil is one of the oldest languages in the world. Today, modern technology helps students learn Tamil more easily. Many college students use digital tools like ChatGPT, Canva, Google Translate, Grammarly, and voice typing apps. These tools help fix grammar, build vocabulary, and give writing ideas. Technology provides quick feedback, so students can improve faster. It also allows learning at their own speed and in their preferred style. Many students say that using modern tools makes Tamil learning more enjoyable and easier to understand. However, some students are concerned. They think over-reliance on technology may make people lazy and reduce their own thinking. They also feel it could harm the cultural value of the Tamil language. Some believe that real teachers and human interaction are still important. In conclusion, modern technology is useful in Tamil learning, but it should be used with care and balance to protect creativity, culture, and the human touch in education.

தொல்காப்பியப் பொருளதிகார புறத்திணை மரபுகள்: உருமாற்றத்தின் சமூக-வரலாற்றுப் பின்னணியும் தாக்கமும்
type: item
description: The Purapporuḷ Veṇpāmālai, which emerged as a development of the Tolkāppiyam and is based on the Paṇṇirupadalam tradition, reflects the changing conditions of Tamil society through External (Purapporul) related concepts. The Tolkāppiyam embodies traditional stances, while the Purapporuḷ Veṇpāmālai mirrors the transformations that occurred in that context. Significant changes took place in Purapporuḷ-related thought during the period of Kaḷappirar rule. Various scholars of different religious traditions adapted grammatical rules to suit their philosophies and the prevailing literary trends. Such changes appear to have been implemented by Aiyanār Iṭanār in response to social changes, particularly in the structure of the Kaikkilai and Peruntinai divisions. This study aims to extensively explore these traditional divisions and their transformations, focusing on: 1) The background of changes in External (Purattinaiyiyal)—the study of Purapporuḷ meaning. 2) The background of changes in the terms “Tinai” and “Padalam.” 3) The background of changes in the classification system of Uzhiṉai and Nochiṭṭinai divisions. 4) The background of conceptual changes in the Kañcitinai division. 5) The differing perspectives of commentators on the classification of Tinai. Using the commentaries of Ilampūraṇar and Naccinārkkiṇiyar, who provided expositions on Tolkāppiyam’s Purattinaiyiyal, it is evident that the term “Tinai” came to signify an unconventional meaning related to “poruḷ” (meaning or content). Ilampūraṇar specifically refers to “poruḷ.” We understand that commentators used the term “poruḷ” in the sense of “purpose” or “significance” of something. Similarly, although the word “Padalam” is mentioned in the Purapporuḷ Veṇpāmālai, there is no clear indication that commentators referred to it in their explanations. Regarding the categorization system of Uzhiṉai and Nochiṭṭinai divisions, changes can be assumed based on the versions of manuscripts obtained through U.V. Swaminatha Ai…

1957-ஆம் ஆண்டிற்கு முந்தைய மலேசியத் தமிழ்க்கல்வி வளர்ச்சி
type: item
description: This qualitative historical study examines Tamil educational development in colonial Malaya prior to independence, employing Historical Interpretation theory and document analysis from the University Malaya Main Library and National Archives sources. The research reveals the colonial government's systematic neglect of Tamil education from 1870 onwards, with British authorities establishing Tamil schools primarily to secure plantation labor rather than advance educational outcomes. The colonial administration's utilitarian approach reflected broader imperial priorities that subordinated indigenous educational needs to economic interests. Tamil schools functioned as instruments of labor reproduction, maintaining stable workforce populations in rubber and palm oil plantations rather than providing comprehensive educational opportunities. Post-World War II developments marked a significant shift in educational dynamics. While British administrative reforms introduced marginal improvements, grassroots community initiatives emerged as the primary catalyst for educational advancement. Parents and youth organizations mobilized independently to elevate Tamil school standards, demonstrating remarkable agency despite colonial constraints. This community-driven educational development highlights the resilience of Tamil communities in Malaya, who transformed inadequate colonial provisions into meaningful educational opportunities through collective effort. The study underscores how marginalized communities navigated colonial educational policies, ultimately creating sustainable educational frameworks that transcended imperial limitations and laid foundations for post-independence Tamil education in Malaysia.

மலேசிய இந்தியர்களின் தமிழ் திருக்கோவைக் நூல்களின் புரிதலின் முக்கியத்துவம் குறித்த பார்வை: ஒரு கணக்கியல் ஆய்வு
type: item
description: The ancient Tamil literary tradition of scriptural texts has been a significant foundation shaping Tamil ethical and cultural values. However, in the 21st century, their influence on the lifestyle of Malaysian Indians has declined. Factors such as focus on individualism, the pursuit of instant attention, and the proliferation of social media have contributed to reduced practical use and understanding of these texts. Therefore, it is important to examine the extent to which Malaysian Indians appreciate their significance. This study investigates the correlations among perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived ease of learning, and user satisfaction regarding Tamil scriptural texts among 248 Malaysian Indian participants. Most respondents were female, aged 26 to 55, with higher education and professional experience. While many had limited awareness of Tamil scriptural texts, descriptive statistics showed generally positive evaluations of usefulness and satisfaction. Perceived ease of use and ease of learning were rated lower but demonstrated strong positive correlations with usefulness and satisfaction. Correlation analysis confirmed significant positive relationships among all constructs, especially between ease of use and ease of learning. These findings underscore the importance of understanding Tamil scriptural texts and its social, spiritual, and educational roles. Making these texts more accessible and easier to learn increases user appreciation and their perceived value for improving life quality. Hence, introducing these texts through modern methods, providing training, especially for younger generations, and raising social awareness are recommended as key strategies for the future.

இடைச்சொற் பொதுவிலக்கணம் – பழையவுரைகள் ஒப்பீடு

description: The Tolkappiyam is the only grammar book that demonstrates the antiquity, excellence and glory of the Tamil language. There are seven old commentaries on the Tolkapiya. The reason for the proliferation of the text of Tolkappiyam is the result of the efforts of many commentators from time to time to understand the heart of Tolkappiyam and convey it to the world. Commentator’s interpretations are an important factor in the preservation of Tolkappiyam and the spread of Tolkappiyam education. Among the Tolkappiya Sholladhikaram, Ilampuranar, Senavariyar, Nachinarkiniyar, Deivachilaiyar, Kalladanar, and one old writer. The Tolkappiya texts contradict each other. If we compare and analyze those texts, we can easily understand the inner thoughts of the author Tolkappiyar. If we compare and examine the old texts with the formula that states the general definition of the interjection in the solladhikara interjection, it will become clear what Tolkappiyar's opinion is. Since it is clear what Tolkappiyar's opinion was, this article attempts to compare and examine the common definition of interjection and the explanations given by older commentators.

description: The use of translated materials in the classroom has gained increasing attention as a means to enhance students’ understanding of a second or third language. In the context of Tamil schools in Malaysia, teachers face various challenges when implementing translated materials as a teaching approach in the Tamil language subject. This study aims to examine the types of challenges experienced by teachers, including issues related to the quality of translated materials, time constraints, students’ literacy levels, and the availability of professional support. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews involving 10 Tamil language teachers in primary schools, the findings reveal an urgent need for continuous professional training and the production of translated materials that are more contextual and appropriate for students’ age levels. The study’s implications extend to education policy, teacher training institutions, and teaching material providers, emphasising the importance of culturally and linguistically relevant resources. Overall, the findings highlight that while translated materials can be an effective pedagogical tool, their success depends greatly on quality, teacher competency, and institutional support.

description: Theatrical performances create a direct, emotional connection with the audience, a connection only possible when both performers and viewers meet in the same physical space. However, with the global lockdown announced in 2020, this norm became entirely unfeasible. In this context, the Active Theatre Movement operating in the Northern region of Sri Lanka, with the aid of information and communication technology (ICT), transitioned to online theatre performances, exploring new approaches. This study examines how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual theatre performances, integrated with ICT, reached audiences. It investigates how innovative experiences were created for viewers across borders and how connections were established with them. The Performative Theory proposed by Mary Gergen and Kip Jones is employed to explore the potential of live theatre through virtual video streaming technology and the emotional impact it generated. The study further investigates the impact of online theatre performances, conducted from Northern Sri Lanka, on Tamil diaspora families worldwide. The transformation of these performances through online communication technology served as a key means of connecting Tamil cultural identity and as a relational tool to engage remote Tamils. Additionally, the study highlights the significant role of online communication technologies in strengthening socio-cultural ties among the Tamil diaspora. The Relational Aesthetics theory, proposed by French art theorist Nicolas Bourriaud, serves as the philosophical foundation of this study. Data was collected through the researchers' own auto-ethnographic experiences. This study uncovers new methods of reinforcing Tamil identity through online theatre performances, even in challenging global circumstances, contributing to the creation of new dimensions in art and social science.

அட்டாங்கயோகத்தில் இயமம் நியமம் - திருக்குறளினூடான பார்வை
type: item
description: There are four ways to get pearls in Hinduism. One of them is Yoga. Yoga is meditation. The Patanjali Yogasutra and the Tirumantra describe eight types of yoga. The number represents the number eight. An element is a part. Yoga means union and union. It is said that its meaning is to grow and unite with God by grace. Atankayogam is said to describe the eight steps that the living entities must follow in order to be united with God. Of these two principles, the yama and the niyama, are the source of the yoga. If this is done, other rules can be applied. They are believed to provide physical and mental health to those who practice yoga and make them better yogis. The Patanjali Yoga Sutra has five yamas and the Tirumandira Yoga Sutra has ten yamas. They are falsehood, falsehood, falsehood, goodness, self-control, neutrality, reasonableness, impurity, blindness, and lack of lust. At the same time, the canon is characterized by asceticism, temperance, orality, the philosophers' own way of life, and the worship of God. This field of research is focused on identifying and revealing them in the form of scrolls. The Tirukkural, which is referred to as the universal scripture, is remarkable in that it contains in itself not only theological but also philosophical ideas. It is remarkable that Tirukkural has spoken of the concepts of Yama and Niyama as embodied in the Patanjali Yogasutra and the Tirumantra. The study is structured in terms of analytical and comparative research approaches. Data collected is analyzed and analyzed.

நாலடியார் பாடல்களில் தமிழ் மருத்துவம்
type: item
description: In the changing human living environment, medicine has become an important aspect. Although human beings are progressing gradually, physical health continues to pose many challenges to human beings. In general, irregular eating habits and an undisciplined lifestyle are the reasons for deterioration of physical health. Although modern medicine provides solutions for diseases that arise from time to time, there is no doubt that following the right way of life as prescribed by ancient medicine helps one to lead a healthy life throughout their lifetime. In this regard, the medical treatment practices followed by people in their daily life during various periods can be known through the study of literature that emerged during those times. Tamil literature also contains many medical references necessary for the people. The Patinenkilkkanakku texts are the compilations made during the Sangam period. The Patinenkilkkanakku texts are generally texts that preach moral values. However, many verses contain references to ancient medicine. This article aims to study the medical-related practices found in the three texts called Naladiyar - among the Patinenkilkkanakku Texts. The ancient Tamils gave great importance to maintaining a healthy physical lifestyle in their daily life. They inculcated good conduct and discipline in people's minds and thereby enabled them to lead a disease-free life. By reading the Naladiyar, we can understand that they made people lead a life free from diseases through inculcating good conduct and discipline. We can appreciate the greatness of these texts as they reveal medical thoughts that are relevant even for today's people.

Analytical approach, descriptive approach, sociological approach, historical approach, ethnographic approach have been followed as the research is carried out on the basis of classifying and analysing the ethnographic elements of Bharatava ethnic people found in Budhinam. This is the first essay on Bharatava people to be ethnographically oriented. Literature is an important document to know the history of the people. All the ancient literature was in the form of Seyul. After the arrival of the westerners, especially after the 18th century, the traditional yapu methods were changed in Tamil literature and literature like short story, novel and drama appeared. Among these, the short story and novel are fictional. Although these can be created in imagination, they are central to people's lives.

கிளையும் ஆயமும் தொடர்புறும் பால்கள்

description: The aim of this research article is to understand the gender related to the meanings of aayam and kilai; the two nouns found in ancient Tamil literature. It is needed to bring out the specific difference between them as there is a unique factor in the semantics of those two terms i.e. denoting abstract nouns along with living and nonliving things. Their usages in the eight anthologies and ten idylls serve as primary data for this comparative study. The views of commentators, researchers, dictionaries, nikandu, and field work serve as secondary data. Blood relationship, eligibility to share the riches, responsibility to share the food and the feature of separability without damaging the entity are the fundamental norms to attribute the term kilai as a noun which may fall under anyone of the five genders in Tamil. Aayam does not have the above mentioned criteria and denotes either palarpaal or palavinpaal only.

மேற்கின் அறிவுப் பாரம்பரியத்தில் 'ஸீரா நபவீய்யா': ஒரு வரலாற்றுக் கண்ணோட்டம்
type: item
description: It can be observed that the ‘Sirah Nabawiyya’, which describes the life history of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h),[1] has been continuously studied by many people in and outside the Islamic world after his death. The main reason for this is the Prophet’s central role in Islam. Muslims focused on writing the ‘Sirah Nabawiyya’ to protect the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and to present his role models to the world. From the beginning, the West studied his life to oppose and criticize him and to defend Christianity. At the same time, the Islamic world in the East loves the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and tries to protect and spread his history, while the Western world criticizes him. However, it cannot be denied that righteous and honest historians have emerged amidst this historical phenomenon in the West. In this way, this article aims to explain in chronological order how the history of the Prophetic Sirah emerged in the intellectual tradition of the West against the background of reasons such as opposition, ignorance, hostility, selfishness, and bias and has developed based on neutral and honest research. For this, library-based research articles and authentic books have been handled as primary sources. In addition, this study has been carried out using a few important writings printed in the West in each period as samples. This study attempts to establish how the history of the Prophetic Sirah, which arose with hatred in the West, has undergone different evolutions over time and has been developed neutrally and impartially.

type: item
description: In contemporary times, nursing is regarded as a highly noble profession. Islam, which offers guidance for all aspects of human life, considers nursing as a profession suitable for women's nature and encourages it. Based on a review of literature, this study analyzes the contributions of nurses in Islamic history and examines the current status of the profession. The research traces the historical development of nursing within Islamic societies, beginning with the early Islamic period when Muslim women first engaged in organized care for the wounded and sick. The study documents how nursing responsibilities were carried out by notable female figures during significant historical events, including major battles and the establishment of the first bimaristans (hospitals). Through examination of historical texts and scholarly sources, this research highlights how Islamic principles influenced the development of nursing ethics and practices. The investigation reveals that Muslim women consistently played vital roles in healthcare delivery systems throughout different Islamic eras and across various geographical regions. The study further explores how the nursing profession has evolved within contemporary Muslim societies, analyzing current challenges and opportunities. The key finding of this study is that Muslim women have been significantly involved in nursing from the early Islamic period to the present day. This study can serve as a valuable resource for historical research on women and gender studies.

திருக்குறளில் இயற்கை குறித்த சிந்தனைகள்
type: item
description: Literature reflects both human emotions and the natural world, offering a profound understanding of the relationship between humanity and nature. Tirukkural, a timeless classic authored by Tiruvalluvar, treats nature not as a mere backdrop, but as an essential and inseparable component of virtuous living. Rooted in the principles of Deep Ecology, this article explores how Tirukkural elevates the sanctity of nature and highlights the necessity for humans to live harmoniously with all forms of life. By examining the natural thoughts embedded within various chapters of Tirukkural through the critical framework of Deep Ecology Theory, this study emphasizes the intrinsic value of nature, independent of human utility. It also sheds light on the ecological ethics subtly conveyed by Tiruvalluvar, encouraging a deeper ecological consciousness and a moral responsibility towards environmental preservation in contemporary society.

பதார்த்தகுண சிந்தாமணி புகட்டும் நல்வாழ்வுக்குரிய உணவொழுக்கம்
type: item
description: The current human lifestyle is moving very fast in a hectic environment with the motto 'can live a life in anyway'. Humans fail to accomplish their various activities fully due to lack of time. Among them, health care and diet are noteworthy. As the saying goes in Tamil, "Painting could be done only if the wall is exit”, where a man can perform his daily duties properly only if he keeps his body healthy. Diet is one of the most important health influences. Instead of eating all the available foods, knowing the nature of each food and eating it will provide a good health and life. In this way, Siddhar Theraiyar has effectively explained about advantages and disadvantages of food consummation and usage of cooking ingredients in the book called ‘Padhartaguna Chintamani'. It is believed that this book may belong to the 15th century. The basic aim of this research paper is to compile and present the information related to food discipline as described in the book Padarthaguna Chintamani.

பண்டைத் தமிழர் உணவு முறையில் ஊன்சோறு (Exploring Uunchoru: An Analysis of Ancient Tamil Cuisine)
type: item
description: This research article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the traditional Tamil dish ‘Uunchoru’ which was consumed in ancient Tamil Nadu. The study delves into the intricate details of its preparation and consumption, offering insights into the culinary practices and eating habits that prevailed during that era. The research employs an analytical approach, utilizing ten historical idylls and anthologies as primary sources to reconstruct the gastronomic traditions associated with ‘Uunchoru’. These primary texts offer a window into the ingredients, cooking techniques, and cultural significance of the dish. To complement the primary sources, the research incorporates secondary sources, including the interpretations of commentators and contemporary researchers. These secondary sources provide additional context and highlight the evolution of food practices over time. Notably, the study reveals that, despite the passage of approximately two thousand years, there has been minimal change in Tamil cooking and eating habits. The main exception to this continuity is the avoidance of certain meats, specifically those from elephant, deer, and iguana, which were once consumed but are now excluded from the modern Tamil diet. This research underscores the remarkable consistency in Tamil culinary traditions and practices, despite broader historical and cultural changes. By analyzing historical texts and comparing them with contemporary practices, the study contributes valuable insights into the persistence of traditional food practices and their adaptation over time. This examination not only enhances our understanding of ancient Tamil cuisine but also highlights the enduring nature of cultural food practices in Tamil Nadu.
