Abstract

Bharathiyar is one of the foremost poets who glorified love. Among many poets, only the poems of a few people are close to us. Bharathiyar is the closest person among us in this way. Bharathi viewed love not as an individual experience but as an experience appropriate to women's liberation and superstition and the creation of woman's knowledge. Bharathi's poems of love for society are full of prosperity, awakening, revolution, and anger. Among the poets who wrote poetry for love, it can be said that Bharathi was the one who fell in love with poetry. The world runs on love. Love has no death. Bharathi adopted Shelley's comment that "If there is no love, there is no life" as a mantra. When life appeared in the world, love also appeared. As long as there is life in the world, so will love. Love is based on the mind and not on the body and knowledge. Love dispels anxiety and belies death. He who cannot feel love cannot appreciate poetry or art. Success in life can only be achieved by surrendering to each other in love. It turns out that love can break through barriers as well as reach immortality through love.
