Sree Narayana Guru

Nārāyana Guru (नारायणगुरु, നാരായണ ഗുരു) (1856 - 1928)

Narayana Guru, also known as Sree Narayana Guru, was a social reformer of India. He was born into an Ezhava family in an era when people from such communities, which were regarded as Avarna, faced much social injustice in the caste-ridden society of Kerala. He led a reform movement in Kerala, rejected casteism, and promoted new values of spiritual freedom and social equality.^[1]He stressed the need for the spiritual and social uplift of the downtrodden by their own efforts through the establishment of temples and educational institutions. In the process, he denounced the superstitions that clouded the fundamental Hindu cultural convention of caste. more
