Tamils - a Trans State Nation..

"To us all towns are one, all men our kin.
Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill
Man's pains and pains' relief are from within.
Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !."
- Tamil Poem in Purananuru, circa 500 B.C 

"The Bhagavad Gita needs little introduction. It is one of the most well known and popular religious works of Indian thought, and deservedly so. It is to be found traditionally as part of the great Indian Epic poem the Mahabharata, though it is, of course, very often printed separately. It is presented in the form of a dialogue between Krishna and his human friend and companion Arjuna, who is faced with the dilemma of finding it his duty to take part in a war against many of his own best friends and teachers. Krishna's resolution of his distress is one of the supreme presentations of classic Vedanta philosophy. The translation here is the old one of Sir Edwin Arnold, which still has many attractive features"
