On the Trail of a Gift

I write these words in the memory of my mother, who was so proud of me reading her my school essay about our city. She was sick with multiple sclerosis at the time and left us young…

This is also dedicated to all who are keen to continue learning until they breathe. Life is a constant learning. So, why learn when you know that one day you will depart? Well, your soul will depart from the body and, depending on its state, will continue existence in the new dimension… The feelings, the knowledge, the morals, and virtues, if noble, will place that soul in a state of harmony. Otherwise, Dante, in his inferno, explained the available roads…

I am closely watching the development of BRICS from the early stages. It is a new organisation that promotes multipolarity and equality, embraces diversity, makes differences the opportunity instead of a cause for wars. Connects different cultures and races. It shows that there is a place for all of us in this world. 

This year’s leaders’ meeting was on September 12–13, 2026, in India.

Chinese President Xi Jinping visited India for the first time after 7 years! The trade between the most populous world nations rose to 151 billion usd, and it is done mostly using their own currencies.

One day earlier, we saw the President of Russia, Mr. Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin  came to India for bilateral talks and to attend BRICS business meetings.

And here I saw a GIFT!

Namely, Prime Minister Modi presented President Putin with a first Russian translation of the book Thirukkural:the pearls of inspiration! THE BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE WORLD PEACE! It is  significant that Mr. Modi made the book translated to Russian and presented it to Mr. Putin.

It is a classic Tamil language text on commoner’s morality consisting of 1,330 short couplets, or kurals, of seven words each!

So, as I did not know anything about it, I decided to research and find out about this book. By the way, curiosity is keeping you alive!

So, I found the book, downloaded it, and started to read. After just a couple of thoughts, I completely understood the importance of the present of Prime Minister Modi to President Putin. It revealed a part of their private conversations…. Absolutely beautiful!

Here are some of it!

Dig deeper the sand-well more water flows
Read  deeper,  more  wisdom  grows.

Smile, charity, pleasant words, and civility. These four are marks of true nobility

A timely  help, though  small  in worth, is greater than  the earth.
A  timely help, however small, is greater in worth than the world.

Wisdom is a weapon to guard against ruin And a fort indestructible by hostile men.

Wisdom is a weapon to guard against destruction; it is a fort that no enemy can destroy.

And so many, many more covering all the life situations….

Let me share a little screenshot….

Now, for all those wanting to have all the book, I kindly invite you to subscribe free to this site and send me your email address. I will be sending you pdf shortly after.

World will overcome difficulties and achieve WORLD PEACE!
