keep the body fit - as Thirukkural (written 31 B.C.) says.

Yet there are many cures cited in the texts!

And as Thirukkural refers to "scholars who've written medicinal
books", it is obvious that some Siddhars lived before its author,
Thiruvalluvar.

'Mikinum kuraiyinum noiseyum noolor
valimuthala enniya moondru."

'The learned books count three, with wind as first; of these,
As any one prevail, or fail; 'twill cause disease'
- Kural 941



Even the rain will fall at her command
Who upon rising WORSHIPS not God,but HER HUSBAND.
-kural verse 55
i hope our modern women with or without tudung will
take note of this so called great sage..LOL.

the kural itself is divided into three 'pals'or
sections one of which is 'kamathupal'..a direct
translation of it would be,'lust'as in 'kama sutra'..
