Sree Narayana Gurudev was a Great Saint, Social Reformer, Philosopher and Revolutionary humanist and his life and teachings have transgressed the boundaries of not only India but also the world. His teachings and preachings have great contemporary relevance in the context of our efforts to promote social justice. Guru is considered as one of the INCARNATIONS OF GOD in India during the 19th Century. Let us see the narration of the Theosophical Society made in September 1928.
“ During recent centuries no one in India has engaged so much reverence as Sree Narayana Gurudev commanded, a reverence so religious, so enduring, so comprehensive, so universal and so pure. Like the sun, by mere presence, he spread his light and love. His life or renunciation has shown to numerous people the secret of the path of dedicated service or Karma Yoga. Rishi Narayana who has awakened Kerala, Pathanjali in Yoga, Sankara in wisdom, Manu in the art of Government, Budha in Renunciation, Muhamed in strength of Spirit and Christ in Humility, after 72 years spent in the drama of human life has gone to whence he came. For future generations he will be one of the divine personalities among the incarnations of God and the super human beings of Indias religious lore”.
