Narayana Guru (1854-1928), born in Chempazhanti (Kerala), was a mystic, philosopher, visionary, poet and social reformer, who envisioned mankind's solidarity based on the irrefutable unity of the Self. Writing in Malayalam, Sanskrit and Tamil, his works gave a new orientation to literature. Rabindranath Tagore found in him a continuator of the most ancient of rsis (seers) reliving the message of advaita (unitive wisdom).
