VoV Family
Welcome to the World of Thirukkural
Who are we?
We are ‘Voice of Valluvar’ Family. We follow Thirukural, the universal treatise written 2000 years ago by Thiruvalluvar in Tamil. VoV family is an extended family of people with a declared interest on Thirukkural and Thirukkural related social objectives. Our present 200+ members are spread over the world. VoV family consists of members from 20 years to 80+years. There are learners and practicing scholars of Valluvam in VoV family. இது வள்ளுவர் குடும்பம். வள்ளுவம் தழைக்க பாடுபடும் தன்னலமற்ற குடும்பம்.
What do we do?
We work for spreading the message of Valluvam. We share thoughts, opinions, anecdotes and news items connected with Thirukkural. We sincerely believe valluvam can nurture values & unite the world. We also discuss matters on Tamil language, literature and culture. We share and celebrate our members’ personal achievements in their respective fields of expertise. We encourage members to adopt government schools of their choice and promote the knowledge of Thirukkural by uniting Alumni, Teachers, Students and village elders.
How do we work?
VoV family is a virtual family though members meet in small groups whenever and wherever possible. VoV family was launched as a WhatsApp group on 14th November 2014 by Thiru. C.Rajendiran IRS (1985 C&CE) and later migrated to Telegram Messenger to include more members into the family. We have active discussions every day. We TOTALLY avoid forwarded messages, unless it is relating to Thirukkural. But, we exchange our views a lot and it is quite normal to get about 50 messages every day. Our family keeps growing day-by-day with new members. We don’t call ours as a mere chat group. We function as an extended family and wish to be identified as one. We have many creative writers among us and it is mandatory to take member’s consent/approval by sending PM before sharing her / his work outside VoV family.
