Vaali had a profound knowledge of Hindu philosophy and mythology, which he translated into several acclaimed books: Avathara Purushan : A poetic retelling of the Ramayana. Krishna Vijayam : Focused on the life and exploits of Lord Krishna. Ramanuja Kaaviyam : A biography of the social reformer and saint Ramanuja. Bagavath Geethai : His interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita. Vaali 1000 Thirai Isai Padalgal
(Me and This Century)
Before diving into the list, it is crucial to understand Vaali’s duality. Unlike other poets who wrote exclusively for Muktak (free verse), Vaali mastered Tamil metrical prosody (Yappu). His books are a masterclass in rhythm.
