The title seems to one, a misnomer.
Love belongs to Heart, but Science to Mind.
Then why this Title?
Lone is of Heart but the classification of in a scientific manner calls for this title.
How?
A language of over 5000 years of antiquity , probably of the same period of Sanskrit)The Vedas refer to Tamil !) has exquisitely demarcated finer feelings into Literary categories where it studies,explains and classifies these feelings in grand Poetry.
Human activities are divided into two broad categories.
That which is external and more expressive and related to activities more in Public.
This is called “Puram”-புறம்
The other one relates more to private feelings and activities of Man, Love between Man and Woman.
This is classified as ‘Agam’-‘அகம் .
‘Agam ‘ and ‘Puram’, both are part of the feelings of Pleasure.
Puram deals with valour, Compassion and the like where it involves more The Society than the individual.
One might call them as Public sentiments while Agam relates to private feelings.
These Private private feelings are of two kinds.
1.Relationship that has not been sanctified by Marriage, or prior to Marriage, Love
This is called ‘Kalaviyal'(Meeting in Secrecy’) -களவியல் .
One finds the process pf falling in Love, how the one pines for the other, their pangs of separation, the efforts of friends to unite them, the pleasures they get on meeting.
This also explains the signs of love in one, the concern of people for their ‘ill health!
The hints thrown by the lovers to each other and those around them of their for each other.
