Authenticity in Kannan's youthful songs sung by Periyalwar

Abstract

Literatures are emerging from time to time. A literary work succeeds when it brings out the same feelings felt by the author and evokes a kind of feeling to the reader. The writer must immerse himself in the feelings of the character which he creates and bring it out in his work so that the reader too can feel the same feelings.  Authenticity is very important in literature. That is why the reader can see what the author saw. When truth is found in a piece of literature, the reader becomes immersed in it. He involve himself in the meaning of what the poet is s saying. Truth is a psychological thing. It is powerful enough to move the reader out of his place. In literature, the poet can be successful if he brings out the truth through his writing. It is not that so easy for a male writer to portray himself as a woman and fully express women feeling in his work. Moreover, motherhood is something that only women can experience. It is very difficult for a man to achieve such a position. Periyalwar has made such an effort in his work Thirumozhi. In order to enjoy Kannan's activities, he composed hymns pretending to be his mother. An introduction is given to the juvenile hymns found in the Periyazwar hymns. This article finds the truth of Ayarbadi women found in Tirumozhi and finding the truth of Yasodhai in depth, the truth of the motherhood is found and all these are analyzed and examined in the inner hymns.
