A Song to Ponder – சிந்திக்க ஒரு பாட்டு
By Visu Iyer

This thought-provoking work by Visu Iyer brings to light a remarkable connection between ancient Tamil spiritual hymns and the timeless truths of science. In சிந்திக்க ஒரு பாட்டு – A Song to Ponder, the author delicately weaves together revered compositions from Thevaram and Periapuranam with foundational scientific principles, showcasing how spirituality and science were never truly separate in our tradition—they simply spoke in different languages.

With clarity and poetic sensitivity, Visu Iyer draws parallels between Archimedes’ principle, Kelvin’s law, and other scientific concepts with the verses of Tamil saints like Appar, Sundarar, and Thirugnanasambandhar. The book reveals how Appar’s hymns may hold the earliest cultural reference to tattooing in Tamil society, well before it became a global phenomenon. The author also presents a compelling view that the roots of modern digital content styles—such as Reels and Shorts—can be found in the concise wisdom of ancient Tamil poets. He illustrates how Avvaiyar’s one-line maxim “அறம் செய விரும்பு” - “Aram Seiya Virumbu” serves as an early form of impactful "Reels", and how Thiruvalluvar’s seven-word Thirukkural couplets mirror the essence of today’s “Shorts”—wisdom delivered in brevity.

More than just a scholarly work, this book is a journey—a gentle yet profound attempt to bridge the spiritual rhythm of our past with the rational curiosity of the present. Through simple yet powerful language, Visu Iyer builds a lucid bridge from science to spiritualism, from heritage to innovation, offering readers not only knowledge but a new way of looking at both the seen and the unseen world.

With over thirty published works to his name, சிந்திக்க ஒரு பாட்டு marks another important milestone in Visu Iyer’s  path. This book is an offering for thinkers, seekers, educators, and lovers of Tamil literature who yearn to rediscover the hidden unity of tradition and technology.

In these pages, you will not only read but also reflect. Because sometimes, the truths we seek in modernity are already whispered in the hymns of our ancestors—waiting to be rediscovered, and to make us pause, smile, and think.
