Abstract

The environment is comprised of physical factors such as air, water, and land and living organisms such as plants, animals, micro-organisms and the human beings on this earth. The relationship between man and nature is immense when these ecological principles are carefully protected. It is a tradition for a man to associate the environment within his geographical boundaries with his social life. Biodiversity and conservation are centered on the natural environment. Sangam literature is considered highly among the world literature. “Kurunthogai” is one of the best among the Sangam literature which includes nature and Tamil culture. This book conveys the message of ancient Tamils living in harmony with nature. Everything created by God is nature like mountains and seas are nature, sparkling rain is nature, grass and animals are nature, and trees and plants are nature. Tamils made this sort of life in harmony with nature. This research paper is based on promoting the protection of the natural environment through “Kurunthogai” to inculcate environmental thinking among the people from Tamil Literary Text.
