Views of Luminary Leaders of India on Sree Narayana Guru
“If people follow Sree Narayana Guru’s teachings and message of “One caste, One religion and One God”, then no force in the world would be able to divide the country.
Sree Narayana Guru talked of modernity but he also enriched Indian culture and values. He talked of education and science but never shied away from raising the glory of the dharma, faith and thousand years old traditions of India. Guru campaigned against stereotypes and evils and made India aware of its reality.”
Narendra Modi
Prime Minister, India
“I deem it my great fortune to have been able to visit the beautiful state of Travancore and to have met the holy soul, Shree Narayana Guru.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“I have been touring different parts of the world. During these travels, I have had the fortune to come into contact with several saints and maharshis. But I have frankly to admit that I have never seen one who is spiritually greater than Swamy Narayana Guru of Malayalam or a person who is on par with him in spiritual attainment.”
Rabindranath Tagore
“Sree Narayana Guru is considered as one of the five or ten avatars that have appeared in India during the last hundred years. I had an opportunity to meet Him when I had been to Kerala for Vaikkom Satyagraha.”
Acharya Vinoba Bhave
“I feel very happy to have come to a place where a great man lived and gave his message to the people. Where great men lived, that place becomes a holly ground something like a temple, because of their thoughts and prayers that lie enshrined there. Shree Narayana Guru lived here and from here radiated his message – the message of no caste, no division and he wanted to build up a casteless and classless society.”
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
“Sree Narayana Guru, the great social reformer and philosopher who raised the clarion call, one caste, one religion, One God for man, is not an asset of Kerala alone but of the entire India.”
Smt. Indira Gandhi
“A great social reformer, a staunch promoter of Hindu Religion, and a true philosopher Shree Narayana Guru was a revolutionary yogi of Kerala, who showed creation of chaos and confusion are not necessary
ingredients of revolution. Any sincere effort to transform the image of civilised life his revolution.”Dr. S. Radhakrishnan
