The course really made the Kural accessible to me

Thomas structured the course in such a flexible way, I didn’t ever feel pressured or that I was not keeping up with the rest of the class. This course introduced me to the Kural and opened my eyes to its pertinence to contemporary life. I also very much appreciated the way Thomas gave structure for preparation for each class.

I found the guest speakers so interesting. They cast a different light on the text, depending on their area of expertise. I also enjoyed the interaction with other students.

I would definitely recommend this course. The course really made the Kural accessible to me. It has become one of the texts that I always have with me. One never knows when one might need its wisdom!
