'Kallum sollaadho kavi!' A stone has no feeling and no voice. If even a stone would sing verse, what wonder if a human being sings? For anyone who feels slow at learning or shy of speaking, this line gives great hope. Where effort and devotion come together, nothing is impossible.","story_title_ta":"\u0b9a\u0b95\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc7\u0bb4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b90\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc8\u0bb5 \u0b9a\u0bae\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf, \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bae\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd: \"\u0bb5\u0bc6\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcb\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0b95\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1: \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bae\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bb3\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8, \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bae\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bae\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1. \"\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcb \u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbf\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe?","story_title_en":"Sakalakalavalli Malai and the Court at Kashi","story_en":"From the traditional life of Kumaraguruparar. Kumaraguruparar was born at Thiruvaikuntam in the seventeenth century and did not speak until he was five. By the grace of Murugan of Thiruchendur he found his voice and became a great poet. Later he travelled to Kashi to spread the Shaiva faith.\n\nTo found a monastery at Kashi he had to go before the ruler's court, but he did not know the Hindustani spoken there. So he sang ten verses to Kalaimagal, the Sakalakalavalli Malai, which begins: 'Is the cool lotus of my white heart not fit to bear your feet, as the white lotus does?'\n\nTradition says that by the Goddess's grace he then spoke that language fluently. The ruler was amazed and gave land for the monastery. A child who once could not speak at all now spoke even in a new tongue by Kalaimagal's grace.
