About this episode

This episode explores a lesson on friendship from the Thirukkural, narrated by Bhargav Kesavan.

Welcome back to the Thirukkural Stories collection by Kadhaineram! Today, we explore a beautiful lesson on friendship written by the great sage Thiruvalluvar over 2,000 years ago. 🎙️ Narrated by: Bhargav Kesavan 📚 Category: Education / Ethics & Values 🎧 Listen to 800+ stories on Spotify: https://linktr.ee/kadhaineram In this episode, a clever farmer wants to buy a new ox but decides to test it first. When the new ox immediately befriends the laziest, most gluttonous animal in the barn, the farmer learns exactly what kind of ox it is! We also learn the profound meaning of Thirukkural 782 (நிறைநீர நீரவர் கேண்மை...) , which compares good friendships to a growing, waxing moon, and bad friendships to a shrinking, waning moon. This is a perfect story to teach children how to choose their friends wisely and understand the phrase, "You are the company you keep." #Kadhaineram #Thirukkural #TamilStories #MoralStories #KidsEducation #GoodHabits #FriendshipGoals #BedtimeStories #TamilPodcast
