The Himalayan Academy

The Himalayan Academy was formed over time by Gurudeva, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, and has been responsible for the translation and the original recent publication of the Tirukural. For those students of life who wish to make a personal copy of Tirukural, the original publication, located within the Himalayan Academy's website, is structured as a single 145K html document, and might prove easier to manage than the separated chapters 108 which have been presented in this web publication.

This publication on the Tirukural is the second to have been sourced from the wealth of the Himalayan Academy, the first being the inspiring The Words of the Master, a collection of the sayings of Yogaswami, of Sri Lanka (1872 - 1964), gathered by a number of his disciples. The students of life who travel through here are encouraged to spend some time perusing the wealth of the Himalayan Academy's publications, and the the Classical Yoga Teachings of Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, known to many as Gurudeva.

Gurudeva also hosts absolutely free and contemplative Daily E-Mail subscription routines, whereby one can receive, on each new day of the year, short thought-provoking quotations, and in some cases commentary, on the substance of publications such as the Nandinatha Sutras, the Tirukural, and Dancing with Siva.

In closing this section, which provides full acknowledgement of the text, translation and commentary to Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, is might be appropriate to duplicate the original 1994 and 1995 copyright notice of the Himalayan Academy:
