| SHIVAGIRI |
 |
Nārāyana Guru (1856 - 1928), also known as Sree Nārāyana Guru Swami, was a Prophet, saint, sage and social reformer of India. He was born into an Ezhava family, in an era when the Ezhava caste, because of its precarious position between the upper and lowest strata in the caste hierarchy, faced much social injustice. Gurudeva, as he is fondly called, revolted against casteism and worked on propagating new values of freedom in spirituality and of social equality, thereby transforming the society in Kerala. |
