பரதயல உவக / Joy in Bharathi

The emotions that manifest through the gestures of our body show the joyful state. Tolkappiyar, the great Tamil writer of all times; says the types of such realities are of eight types. These are common to internal and external ones. The eight types reappear as thirty-two levels in the combination of four out of four levels. In general, one of the essentials of life is happiness. One can progress in life only if he/she is happy. When deprived of happiness, the body and mind become weak. Happiness is the only way that takes away all weakness and gives freshness to life. Such reality is the proof of the blissful life and is the original type of truth. This type of reality appears as an expression of pleasure. This joy is mentioned at the last of eight truths as mentioned by Tolkappiyar. Hence, this article examines the manner in which Bharathiar has used joy in his poems.
