The ‘Thirumanthiram’ is a classic Tamil literature penned by Thirumoolar, one of the famous 63 nayanmars, around 1500 years ago. It is widely revered as a treasure trove of knowledge. This research aims to extract the scientific information contained in the book and connect it with current scientific data. The literary piece covers numerous topics such as agriculture - seasons, land classification, nursery, and germination, as well as the human body and health, breathing, music, teaching, and general science - including the Rainbow VIBGYOR, magnetic lens, and geometry. We analyze nearly 35 songs and highlight scientific details from about 30 key points. These findings are concisely presented to encourage readers to delve into the full book and explore the ancient science juxtaposed with contemporary science for an all-encompassing experience.
